Berbatov | Fulham player

I wonder if Fergie will trust Berbatov enough to start our European games coming up. Our UEFA Cup European games.
 
I hope that he gets some game time tonight against Fulham, he should be partnered alongside Wellbeck, give Rooney a bit of a break.

Why would we randomly give Rooney a 'break' in this tough fixture tonight? We're going to need him. I would like to see Berbatov featuring more often, but that will have to happen in the right games, and tonight isn't a good game to simply throw him back into the deep end. I agree that we could possibly give him a game when we're at home to Wigan on Saturday, though.
 
Great finish.


Is it just me or is he starting to look like Mr. Mackey from South Park?
 
I'd start him with Hernandez against Wigan. Rotate the frontline like we used to do in 99 the last time we had 4 proper class strikers.

There is no need to start him with Rooney and Welbeck in form for the sake of rotation. We can rest Rooney and Welbeck in the UEFA Cup games.

That all depends on which other changes we maybe forced to make. If Rio misses the game, and with Jones out, and Young out, I don't think SAF should mess too much more with the team. Our CL campaign showed how damaging that can be.

I'm hoping for:

Keeper

Rafael Smalling Evans Evra

Valencia Carrick Giggs Nani

Rooney Welbeck

If anything we could maybe change one forward.

Reckon this will be the team, and like you say maybe Berb in for Welbeck.
 
If we don't play Welbeck than if anything we'll see Hernandez play instead.

Past years have shown rotation to work, I don't see SAF letting one bad CL campaign put off years of expert work. The main reason why I don't see Ferguson going with Berbatov and Hernandez up front is the fact that we tend never to drop Rooney.
 
Good goal, glad we went with him him and Hernadez up front and rotated. Need all our players fresh I feel.
 
Have we activated the clause which will prevent him leaving for free in the summer?
 
I wonder if he will play against City. In my opinion no, it will be Rooney-Welbeck
 
Typical striker, with a bit of confidence he plays with instinct and it comes naturally to him. One touch to turn, and a classic toe poke to blast it past the keeper.
 
Well in Dimi, delighted to see him score a hat-trick today. Deserves to start against Blackburn.
 
I would not go overboard. A 10 men Wigan side is a strikers dream come true. I still want to see Welbeck back in the side.

But he was terrific today. Well done, today he answered my question on if he wants a new contract or not. He really was motivated
 
Dimitar Berbatov now has just 1 less league goal than Luis Suarez in 10-11, despite playing just 255 minutes to the Uruguayan's 1,454.

Stolen from Feeky's twitter.
 
So happy for Berbs. He should play against Blackburn with Rooney up top and maybe score another hatrick like last season. What a player.
