Berbatov is lazy :)

I was reading this article on goal.com and yes it was on Berbatov. The lad was criticized of his style of play by groups; they say sometimes he is too lackadaisical in his approach. Though I agree on this fact as sometimes it seems that, out of lethargy he simply refuses to run for the ball. And sometimes when he has the ball he rolls carelessly.

What’s the point this group of cynics are looking for then? Tell you, they don’t have any clue as why he doesn't panics when he has the ball. He defended his approach and it came out something like this … take a look at this article on goal.com. To sum up the entire article these two lines answered all those raised questions.

"I am a relaxed guy," he continued. "I play that way and I can't change my style. I watch games and see guys who panic on the ball - they look so nervous."

As the article said to the eyes of the uneducated he is lazy, which is entirely correct as SAF is too foolish to allow him play like that. Surely Berba has a charm and perfection of its own when it comes to receiving and ball control.

Surely the hardest part in football is when you receive the ball. At the moment if one feels that he has got immense responsibility to capitalize then surely the focus is lost. Panic drills down to your body and certainly you do not deliver what is expected from you.

It’s ironic as Berba finds that because of his immense talent on the ball he looked to be a bit lazy. So be it he's lazy to a certain lot cause for others he just scored 11 goals and has given highest assist for United.

Lampard sent off

Liverpool-Chelsea: 2-0, Anfield, 1st of Feb ‘09

These days it’s common, you show your cleats blades to ref and straight away he will flash a ticket to the stands. Poor Lampard, though he had a clean tackle on the ball but ref got it all wrong and off he goes. Pity these uncooked decision kills all the drama and energy that a mega Sunday clash has to offer.

It’s hard to gulp down the fact as what difference it could have made if Lampard had stayed all through out. Right from the start the Merseysiders were bombing the Chelsea half like anything. It looked like Liverpool was going to break the lock at any moment. The complete game was dominated by them before that sent off took place.

But what if Lampard had stayed? Tell you what those trademark deflected Franky goals could have saved Chelsea from getting humbled at Anfield. It was highly likely that this game could have been converged to a draw. Before that sent off, the game could have given a four point cushion to United with a game in their hand. But ref got it all wrong, pity he gave that bad decision against Chelsea. It could have been the case, Alonso pocketing a yellow card but sorry Franky these days you are not reckoned to show the wrong side of your boot to ref.
