Yaaas Broncos!
Stop it. Stop it now.
His short passing game is genuinely woeful, he also has an annoying habit of getting the ball stuck under his feet and losing it.I'm thinking that Pereira would even challenge him if played regularly. Herrera is easily a better midfielder than Rooney is. What bugs me about Rooney is that he doesn't appear to have great vision when playing deeper. Put him further up the pitch and he is much better. Deeper on the pitch he dallies too much for the ball always looking for the long ball when a simply five yard pass into space would make the team move forwards. That said, he tends to feck up those five yard passes, so... Also, his misplaced passes should have cost us a few goals of late - sloppy when the team is moving forward with so many players ahead of him. Losing possession as a ten isn't half as bad as losing it as a deep lying midfielder.
That's an overreaction.He isn't good enough to start for us anymore in my opinion.
Better midfielders, better 9s, better 10s.
I wouldn't play either of RVP or Falcao over him atm, they've hardly been in sensational form.He isn't good enough to start for us anymore in my opinion.

I've beginning to think this more and more. He isn't as sharp as he was to get away from people closing him down and never takes anyone on as he doesn't have the pace. He's gameplay and influence diminishes more and more.He isn't good enough to start for us anymore in my opinion.

Better 9s and 10s is very debatable.He isn't good enough to start for us anymore in my opinion.

This. Neither RVP nor Falcao has shown they are better as strikers.Better 9s and 10s is very debatable.
I used to think this. But I think Rooney is considerably better than both Van Persie and Falcao right now. More dynamic, certainly.He isn't good enough to start for us anymore in my opinion.

I don't think that holding talks of playing him in his dominant position is too much asked either. What irks me about Rooney, the midfielder, is that he is too slow at picking the key pass, and that he loses the ball too easily, leaving us in a vulnerable position for counterattacks. Playing a striker in a midfielder's position is lunacy by any stretch as far as people are concerned.Talk of dropping him is insane.
It's happening because while Rooney is playing for the team IMO, he's not happy as he doesn't really want to play there, I mean we know he didn't want to play as a CM under Fergie and now he's playing as a RM for LvG due to the diamond, however I think people are blaming him and and thinking LvG is doing it just to placate him, which in my view is not the case.Theoretically, he should be gettting better and better the more games he plays in that position. If anything, the opposite is happening. He covers a huge amount of ground and is constantly involved but he's losing the ball far too much. With Van Gaal's nervousness about lost possession it really is strange the way he puts up with it.
