Berbatov vs Torres 9.11.2010

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler and England tried to compare the quality of Dimitar Berbatov and Fernando Torres on the basis of their derby between two teams over the weekend.

CERTAINTY:

Berbatov - It is clear that he is a player who greatly influenced by their momentary confidence. This applies to all strikers, of course. Berbatov problems with United fans it affected badly. With the start of the season like this that makes the Bulgarians at the moment, it is not how his confidence is higher than current levels.

Torres - People think that he is not sure 100% and it affects his game. But I do not think this is the problem. He just does not get enough support from his teammates at the moment. Torres is a player who takes advantage of the good uncompromising positions.

Control the ball:

Berbatov - He has always been a player who has great touch. Players with qualities like its really rare. In any event, it can be expected as these goals on Sunday.

Torres - When he was in top form, then touch and speed are becoming deadly combination. Of course the problems with injuries in recent times preventing him to be in optimum condition.

Finishing moves:

Berbatov - Maybe this is the component which Berbatov has been criticized because it always seeks to lodge instead of beating. In recent matches, he demonstrated that when feeling well, hit it very precise.

Torres - For every attacker is very important to find the rightposition from which to shoot. On such situations before missing Torres at the moment. not remember to have seen him receive such chances in recent matches.

PHYSICS:

Berbatov - The Bulgarian is a player who had some problems in this respect and is certainly one reason to tolerate criticism. At times it seems like a person who does not care. His movement on the ground, however, can be decisive, as he proved on Sunday.

Torres - it needs time to come into top form after a period of trauma. He does not feel 100% now, so his frustration is understandable. When it is in optimum condition, it is totally different player.

TEAM PLAY:

Berbatov - Again this is one reason why he should be criticized before. Liverpool, however, his team work and movement the pitch was impressive. His three goals were even giving away the award for his pitch.

Torres - has never been questioned its contribution to the team. He just dealt to the utmost. And all this against the best defenders in the world which is not easy. At present, however the team did not help him enough.

Support of teammates:

Berbatov - This is a major milestone for any striker. Last season Berbatov if you do not receive such support. It seemed that not understood by his teammates. But now things are changing. His two headed goals suggests that this aspect is changing for the better.

Torres - especially watching his performance against United in the first half and not even noticed it. After cleaningtion, however, things changed, he got support and develop both goals. This demonstrated the importance of having support from others. Give him the ball and you will see results!
