That sucks. Just when it looked like he was going to get started with the goalscoring again.
Then again, he's always been one to recover faster than expected. Just don't rush back prematurely.
At least Berba is scoring. And we also have a certain Chicharito who has a knack for goals. So,
it's not entirely doom and gloom.
A unique similarity occurred for two top strikers in the premier league, Dimitar Berbatov and
Robin Van Persie as both players play a major part for their respective teams in taking all three
points this weekend by scoring a hat-trick. Berbatov strike his third hat-trick of the season to
give a 5-0 victory for the Red Devils at Old Trafford, while Van Persie got his first three goal of
the season that helped the Gunners destroyed Wigan at Emirates stadium.
Fresh off a third hat trick of the season, the plaudits continue to pour in for in-form
Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov. United defender Chris Smalling is the latest player to
heap praise on the Bulgarian following his three goals against Birmingham City yesterday.
"Berba was brilliant," Smalling said to MUTV.
Last week, in previewing Manchester United-Birmingham City, I was cautiously hopeful that we'd
see the kind of Manchester United performance that has been lacking for the most part this
season.
As fans, spoiled as we may be, we can't help but hope for and expect to see some domination
every now and then, and that's not been the case thus far, as successful of a season as it's been
and could be.
Having had time for the emotions to subside after a fantastic come from behind win, I realize
again how little I care about being undefeated. Sure, it'll be nice to equal the feat of the
Invincibles, but at the end of the season, that's not the ultimate prize. I don't think going
undefeated and winning the league are mutually exclusive.
No longer will we have to lose him to the Asian Cup or other international related selections.
This is good news for the club since it means a more rested player while others are incurring an
extra 90-180 minutes of game time and potential injuries.
Look at our existing players and how they've benefited from international retirement.
