Sell Berbatov?
I was already thinking of blogging this when I read the article below.
Berbatov has really struck me as someone who is too casual and he really does not contribute much to the team. Admittedly, there are flashes of brilliance. But when you pay £30.75million, you expect a more consistent performance rather than flashes of brilliance.
When Everton missed the first spot kick, I thought that we should have the shoot up all wrapped up. But when he causally passed the ball back to Tim Howard, we lost our advantage. And worse still, we boosted the opponent’s confidence and completely deflated ours.
Don’t get me wrong, people do miss penalties. Ferdinand missed his spot kick too. But the way Berbatov went about it was hard to imagine. Not only that, in many games that he played, he was all too casual.
There was also once a player that was very casual in his playing style. His name is Eric Cantona. The difference is that Cantona delivers. Moreover, Monsieur Cantona was has a lot of fire in his belly which seems to be missing in Mr. Berbatov.
Hopefully, Berbatov will pick up and do much better else we may have to...
Anyhow, have your own say in this

Sir Alex Ferguson has leapt to the defence of record signing Dimitar Berbatov, the man who shouldered the majority of the blame for Manchester United's penalty shoot-out defeat in the FA Cup semi-final with Everton.
The critics were out in force again following Berbatov's woeful penalty miss; the Bulgarian's £30.75million transfer fee has been the subject of considerable debate almost since the day he moved north from Tottenham last summer.
Ferguson confirmed the 28-year-old was upset before defending his contribution to the Old Trafford cause.
"He will get criticism because when you pay £30million for a player everyone thinks he should be able to score with a penalty kick," said Ferguson. "He was upset and disappointed, as we all were.
"But I don't see any evidence of Berbatov's season tailing off.
"He has missed a few games and overall yesterday, I thought he did really well."

He's really good. Give him some time and his sublime skills will show. He looks casual but he's effective in what he does. It'll be Man U's loss if they sell him. Wish he was still at Spurs, but those days are over...
Maybe they can sell him back to Spurs, along with Carrick. Join in the reunion party... =p
Hi Tim, dream on... don't think they will be going back to spurs...
I suppose only time will tell how good Berbatov really is
Tomorrow the 25th April 2009, Nicole and I celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Thanks again Ps Jeff, for helping nurture Nicole to such a wonderful person.
One year, so fast, so many changes, we're right behind you in whatever you do!
With regards to Everton's win, take it easy ;o) It means a lot to us (as poor underdogs) cheers!
Wilfred
Hey Wilfred. Thank God for Nicole and you. You are a wonerful godly couple. You are great exmaple to many!
Let's press on together for Him :)
With regards to Everton, while watching the game, I do remember you being an Evertonian and celebrating with joy after the game.
You are one of the very few true blue Everton fans out there...
Hahaha ...
What is Everton? (No Champs League)
And what is Man United? (Only 2 Champs League titles)
Real Madrid, Milan, Liverpool the football gods!
to be accurate... Man U has won 3 European titles till date.
I think we cannot judge. Maybe he seems casual but it only seems casual. Some people produce better that way as they feel less stressed and they know if they are more intentional, they cannot do better than if they try not to thnk too hard about it. Different working style lah
