If you're on about 2011/12 and 2009/10 where he scored about 30 goals in each season then he was the only goal threat in the team. Ronaldo and Tevez had left and Berbatov wasn,t doing too well. The only time Berbatov was a genuine goal threat was the season sandwiched in between, 2010/11, when Rooney had all that stuff going on.

His dribbling is non existent too, that like most of his attributes has declined. At Everton he would take defenders on all the time, when he tries it now he loses the ball every time.

And his penalties are crap too, he has scored something like 10 in 19 of his last penalties. That is bad for a League 2 player.
