First step up the ladder, and a strong one.
Spot on, nothing harsh about it. Rooney, especially playing in the hole, is frustratingly average.I know he got a goal and an assist, but in terms of general play I don't actually think Rooney is playing that well.
His speed of thought, awareness of teammates, and being able to control and make a pass in tight situations... these all seem quite average, especially in contrast to the ridiculously good Di Maria.
I'm probably just too harsh on him.
In fairness I think Joe Allen is a good player (but then I'm biased)Oh God, scousers are comparing Joe Allen to Ander Herrera. Please, fcuk off.
Yeah he was, but Blind was also very good. And Herrera too, really was a great performance especially for our new guysI was expecting the MoM to be 100% today. Angel was massive today.
Yeah, but we misplaced a lot of passes too...QPR are making us look a lot better than we actually are. They aren't even trying to play, very poor from them. It's great for us to build some confidence though.
Agree, Angel di Maria MoM, Mata played extremely well. He dragged the entire QPR defense out of position so many times. Herrera 3rd for me.Di Maria best player yet again. What a signing he is.
Yeah, few loose first touches too. Better today than he has been though, managed to control a couple of iffy passes alright. I'm normally a hater 'n all.Spot on, nothing harsh about it. Rooney, especially playing in the hole, is frustratingly average.
That's not the problem, the problem for me is that Herrera is a step above Allen in terms of all round quality and they shouldn't even be mentioned in the same bracket. But then again I might be biased.In fairness I think Joe Allen is a good player (but then I'm biased)
So confident in his passing. Guess the World Cup really gave Blind confidence and his tandem with Herrera ran like clockwork.Blind looked like he had played there for years, alright its QPR but to just slot in like that was highly impressive.
Yea he was markedly improved today generally, but once he dropped in the hole he missed so many runs and good passes in front of him. Thankfully the game was won by then but i think it will be a major error starting him in that position.Yeah, few loose first touches too.
