Football is a team game. Not just assists and goals are important, sometimes the assist of the assist can be the most important pass in the sequence.
So you believe Berbatov's fantastic positioning to create space for Rooney is irrelivent. Without Berbatov's movement and positional sense, the defender would have been marking Rooney.
Yes because the opposition would have thought..
'Fuck marking that striker that's currently scoring with every shot he takes. Fucking Berbatov is over there, stick the team on him.'
Perhaps managers undertood that Berbatov was the integral part of the Man Utd frontline, so that's why they marked him and gave Rooney more freedom.
Lets be honest, the managers are much more likely to understand football than we are.
Do you not think that managers would have marked both, regardless of their ability?
