He's not very good. Hasn't been for most of the season.
Its the fact his name isnt flashy enough. Some have made an opinion about him in the beginning of the season and are stuck with it.I don't get the complaints here. When playing CB, he has been quite good .... especially when next to Smalling. Yes, he isn't an ideal LB, but that save off the line yesterday was crucial.
Surprising really, his name is "Red" so what more could they ask for?Its the fact his name isnt flashy enough.
No, he fractured his heart when he seen Valencia was now the regular RB.Didn't Rafael fracture his face? I'm so confused, too many injuries this season.
I mean he wasnt so well known.Surprising really, his name is "Red" so what more could they ask for?
His debut was at leftback and he did fine, and from what I saw defensively we went to shit when Blackett replaced him.He was terrible. He's been terrible every time he's played at LB, as far as I can remember. Offers nothing going forwards and constantly out of position defensively. He's brave, quick and strong in the tackle but he blatantly isn't a fullback.
That was against QPR though, wasn't it? Who were absolutely dreadful at that stage.His debut was at leftback and he did fine, and from what I saw defensively we went to shit when Blackett replaced him.
How does any of that explain him being too lax on the ball and losing it? Or not playing offside correctly? All things he does at CB toohaving 10 men (playing without a striker all match) and him at lb which he's not - not a fair shout. and then to top it off blackfriars came on.
Well Rojo let Walcott step on the field, right ?Didn't Blackett and Walcott come on at the same time?
you original post was something like "worst player on the pitch" - i think the strikers were shit on a stick. and no lb and cb are not the same position and he's just back from injury and blackett was dire. so no rojo was not the worst player on the pitch for united v le arse.How does any of that explain him being too lax on the ball and losing it?

I said he was our weakest link today, which he was. Normally its Valencia on the other sideyou original post was something like "worst player on the pitch" - i think the strikers were shit on a stick. and no lb and cb are not the same position and he's just back from injury and blackett was dire. so no rojo was not the worst player on the pitch for united v le arse.
He's only just 25 and just finished his first season in England after a difficult transfer. Although he hasn't exactly shone, he was £16m and is a decent squad player. That's what £16m buys us these days.I don't rate him at all. He's pretty much a slightly worse Phil Jones, but at least Phil fills our home grown quota.
Waste of money.
Magnificent. He's been playing left back for Argentina and has linked up really well with Di Maria down the left flank. I also agree with the poster who said he's underrated.How has he been going in the copa america so far?
Also I have to at people saying he isn't a left back.Magnificent. He's been playing left back for Argentina and has linked up really well with Di Maria down the left flank. I also agree with the poster who said he's underrated.
