Stat dont mean sh*t
When did Berba score those goals in what games and at what stage of the game
Seems like he only scores when we have already won a game
When Drogba is injured Anelka can come in and do great lead the line score goals
When RVP is injured Bendtner can come in and do a job
When Benzema is injured Higuin can come in an do a job
Even at Tottenham when Defoe was out Pav came in and scored goals
etc
Yorke and Cole both were no1 and no2 strikers at the club and scored goals
It is a strikers job at the end of the day to score goals and get on the end of team moves it is not acceptable for berba to lay off balls 40 yards away from goal and not run into the box and leave someone like park there by himself
got bored thinking of names

Lol @ the guys who dont understand football
our number 1 striker has the most goals in the league
our number 2 has the most amount of goals from the second striker in the league(more then guys like anelka and bellamy who are getting sucktion this season).... and he would be top goalscorer for 14 other teams in the league and he isnt our main striker....doesnt take set pieces, doesnt take penalties and doesnt play week in week out.....
our front 2 is not the problem..... its goals from elsewhere
front two have 40ish
our next best is valencia with 7 after that its a joke
to win sh*t you need 1 player to get 20+ and at least 2 players to get into double figures

We need a second striker who can handle things on his own and not crumble when Rooney isn't on the pitch.

Fergie said that prior to the season (that replacing Ronaldo's goals has to be a team effort)
Rooney stepped up and has done the business
no one expects Berba to get more than 15 in a season at United
Valencia has done his fair share
Gibsons done his bit when he's played
but no one else has done and that is the issue.
Carrick and Fletcher same to Scholes and Giggs shouldve scored more by this point and defensivly it seems like only Vidic has the odd goal in him.
people always look to a scapegoat in these situations but to be honest anyone looking for a scapoegoat shouldnt be looking on the pitch you should be looking in the dugout or the directors box,
because on 1 hand we had 80+ to spend and "chose not to"
or on the other hand maybe it was because one of our best players was let go and SAF wasnt allowed to adequtly replace them

and to think last season on here there was a debate about whether last seasons squad was better than the treble team.

Michel Kane
Personnel-wise, I think that was a legitimate argument.

True but sadly we'll probably just settle for Hargreaves and Gibson.
Still pissed we didn't get Ljajic.
