Only one of those players started today. That's just reminded me, Park put Berbatov through on goal and he turned away from the net.

Rooney is THAT important to United because he gives the rest of the players something to work with. Berbatov holds the ball up well but that one little player racing into space was missing today. At first they all seemed like they had no one to aim for when they got to Chelsea's box. There was one moment in the first half, Evra broke away with the ball, down the wing. Huge space in the box by the near post and where Rooney would have found himself running into it, Berbatov was hiding somewhere behind the Chelsea defenders. United can win and compete without Rooney but they've got very used to Rooney being in the right place at the right time so now they need to find someone else who's going to bully their way into space. |

You can't really buy replacements whilst they are stil lat the club and by the sounds of it they will all be stil lthere next season too. Good post Stacie. At one point Berbatov was o nthe wing and the ball went in and only Giggs was i nthe box, he's never going to win a header.

Yeah Berbie doesn't lack quality, he just lacks that aggressive style that Rooney possesses, which has got him so many goals. |

Berba lacks the mentality it's not about agression.. Pires, henry etc were techinically gifted and not so much aggresive but had that mentality And application in their games |

Bet on Chelsea to win the title will you. ![]() There's still a chance but the ball is in Chelsea's court now. They will still drop some points, trouble is, so will United... |

We play Spurs and City without Rooney. We have no chance. Chelsea will destroy both of those tbh. |

No confidence in Berbatov? I wouldn't be so sure about Chelsea beating them, especially if they are away games. |
