The penalty wasn't that bad to be honest.
It wasn't hit with power and was in the single most saveable spot in the goal. Slow = down the middle or bang in the corner, or its extremely saveable, power, pretty much anywhere but still best as far away from the keeper as possible. Half way between the keeper and post is stupidly saveable especially when not hit with major power. If a goal keeper doesn't dive far, he'll still easily reach it, if the gk dived for the post, it will still hit his body/legs most likely, it was a very very poor penalty, one that screamed no confidence(slow and not risking going over or past the post).
I think berbatiov does best when hes not under constant pressure. at fulham hes okay to miss the odd one and put a couple away where hed get insulted at utd for doing hte same thing.
Everyone at Utd gets insulted for doing badly in a single game, berbatov neither got better nor worse after being insulted, he was brilliant in the vast majority of his games, if he however scored a couple, then didn't score, you all went mental about what little he did. It wasn't goals today that was important, he held it up till he had support, passed brilliantly, scored when required, created goals and created chances, he did this for you every game. Beyond Utd fans thinking 30mil instantly meant he'd score more than anyone else every season, he was great in most of his games, you guys just found a variety of ridiculous reasons to think he was crap because he didn't score loads.
His game is deep striker setting up the game, where he is just massively better than Rooney. One of Utd's best seasons in recent history were with Berbatov playing deeper and Rooney having his best scoring season playing as a proper striker without peeing around deep, that is Rooney's strength and Berbatov's. Top player, criminally under appreciated by Utd fans.
Id sy hes better outside the box on the ball thasn hernandez, but as a striker he lacks composure and that killer finish that hernandez has shown.
Welbeck's build up play is crap, his composure is hilariously poor, Hernandez before this season was awful in his build up play and very good finishing, this season his hold up play has been almost astonishingly improved, and his crossing and quite a bit of his passing. As with Nani a few years ago I'll say the same thing, 2 out of 2 and a bit seasons, he was poo in his all around game, a full season being good and another season not back to his old self(like Nani did) then I'll change my mind, a few months of playing better as yet means not an awful lot.
He has been dramatically improved though and if he can maintain that you finally have a useful player, currently he is miles better than Welbeck.
Those who are saying Welbeck shows potential and his build up player/physicality shows potential, they don't. A flukey back heel once a season doesn't make a player, he's been completely rubbish in 95% of the games he's played so far, doesn't show any potential for improvement and starting him over Berbatov was a monumental screw up. Considering you lost the title on goal difference, I laugh at the idea Utd started Welbeck most of the season over Berbatov.
EDIT:-
Last season
Welbeck 23 starts 7 subs, 9 goals, 4 assists 80 shots.
Berbs, 5 starts 7 subs 7 goals, no assists, 16 shots.
This season
Welbeck 5 starts 3 sub 1 goal 1 assist 16 shots
Berbs 6 starts 1 sub, 5 goals, 3 assists 24 shots.
Fulham haven't lost when he started, the only game they lost he came on half way through in his first appearance, Fulham were vastly improved in the second half and all three goals conceded were in the half he didn't play. He has been simply outstanding for them, home and away and every single goal or assist he has provided has resulted in Fulham either drawing or winning a game so far.
I enjoyed it far more when we came back though. Bit of overdramatic booing etc.
