Sunderland v Manchester United

Nani is really starting to look like a player.
 
That was a poor, poor miss. Pity to see such a talent playing without any confidence whatsover. I tell you what though. Mickey Owen would have buried that.
 
Perhaps. But regardless of the price tag, as a striker he just hasn't done enough. We create more then most teams in the world and for Berba to only get 12 goals in a season is shocking.

Lampard and Gerrard have 20, and they're midfielders...

Sorry, it's just not good enough.

But in terms of a second striker its not that bad, in all teams you usually have one player who scores the most or bulk of goals then you have others who are just below the lead scorer.

That said his contribution this season has really tailed off and you could blame his knee injury but i think hes just lost any confidence he had left... and he just misses a sitter :rolleyes:
 
I wish Rooney would stop trying those chips especially when he's not on the break. He should have had a hattrick of assists by now mind.
 
Can I just point out to all the Berba-bashers, that if his confidence is shot - taking him off at HT is not going to help. Would rather see him stay on and then see Macheda for Rooney around the hour mark - give Rooney a rest and keep him fresh for the Stoke game.

N.B. - Unless we're losing, then bring on Macheda for a defender

I do not remember having to adjust the team to sort out Rudd, Rooney, or Tevez. At United you step up or get moved aside... that is the nature of playing at this club. Besides he has had two years, we need to move on.
 
right i think we have seen him squander enough chances today. can we take him off now please SAF? thanks in advance

Diouf would have buried that...that's how shot Berba's confidence is right now. Even a tap in looks like 30 yard volley to him.
 
i think by now most of us couldnt care less, we are not getting feckall for our money by playing the lazy shite anyway. having him in the squad is a hinderance not a help. would gladly take anything for him

It looks to me like some of the other players aren't that enamoured with him. Rooney in particular.
 
He's still one of our players and SAF is playing him, let's support him for as long as he's here.
 
Sandy Beachball is warming up! Berbatov to come off?
