Berbatov has twice the class of Tevez; he's probably the classiest player in the EPL. Unfortunately, the subtlety of his touches and decisions means people without perception and real understanding of how the game is played can't see it. Tevez plays like a pit-bull, chasing cars all game. He can't dribble past defenders, he can't dribble to his left (he always goes right), and he's not a particularly good passer. Watch 10 of United's goals this season and I guarantee you will see Berbatov influencing the play where you did not see him before. Berbatov owns Tevez's face, and leaves Rooney lacking as well. Think for yourself and don't form your opinions based on what commentators say. I hope one day you see the forest for the trees; the game is much better when you realize the nuances.

Giggs, Nani, even Rooney, and Ferdinand were all very poor against a very weak side. Nani may be the worst footballer on the team. Giggs cycles between usable and atrocious. United's recent signing of the Serbian winger at least shows they're sensitive to how poor both have been this year. Tevez was not the only culprit.
