I don't know what Berba's assist ratio is but it's got to be pretty high in comparison to most frontmen? He could have had 3 more assists in the Bolton game alone if it wasn't for Owen being unable to finish. For £30m+ he looks hugely overpriced but he isn't useless like 5 or 6 of the strikers Chelsea have signed since Roman arrived. It's not really fair to scapegoat him on last sunday for example when the rest of the team was just as useless. What about Rooney who hardly had a touch, all he really did for 90 minutes was shout at the referee. Blaming Berba just misses Man Utd's main problem which is an incredibly weak and immobile central midfield. It's not top-4 quality when Fletcher isn't there. It's not even top-10 quality.

Clearly jumping on the back of the modern day football 'moral panics' and cliches (Lampard and Gerrard cant play together, Peter Crouch is good on the ball for a big man) is as easy for some internet writers as it is for some bloke down the pub, who makes arguments which are void of any actual football knowledge or observation. If you're going to use the 'lazy' card along with your stats, then why not acknowledge that actually, he covered the 4th longest distance for United last season. Besides this, running around like a mad man ala Wayne Rooney/Carlos Tevez is not in Berbatov's game. Simply put, he doesnt need to. For those of you who use this 'lazy' argument (and probably dont watch united very often), Berbatov's game is about clever touches, creating things no one else in the side would even dream of and more importantly, creating goals. If you're joining the witch-hunt to create an easy article rather than opening your eyes, thats fine. But to compare Berbatov's contribution at United to Shevchenko's at Chelsea is criminal.
