Ferguson let his ego cloud his decision to start Hernandez over Berbatov. Berbatov's lack of recent production is due to his lack of PT, not from bad form. Berbatov's big game match experience dwarfs Hernandez's, who was scared of the center backs who started for Barca. Even with the decision not to play Berba, Ferguson should've deployed a 4-5-1 with Rooney as the long ball/counter point man. Give me Giggs/Nani/Rooney/Berba over Giggs/Rooney/Valencia/Hernandez every day of the week.

Berbatov was in bad form. I agree that some of this was due to lack of PT. However, Chicharito played for MUFC a good bit in the Champions League. I would have started Chich over Berbatov all day long. He was leading MUFC in goals in the Champions league.


ETA: He had 4 goals, 1 Assist in 9 Appearances. However, in 3 appearances he played 15 minutes or less.

yep. I think Sir Alex was too focused on trying to stop them when he should have realized you can't stop them.
