[Insanity]

His best performance in a United shirt. Very good against two pacey players in Coleman and Lennon, and then against Delaxxxu.

Don't like at CB at all but can play a role at LB in Shaw's absence.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Looks like we've got out back four sorted for a while anyway.

Can see Blind coming back in (at centre-back) against weaker opposition at home, but otherwise this looks pretty good.

 

[Kag]

can't understand why people on here think Rojo shit......

It's one of the more baffling trends on the Caf.

The less he's played the worse he has become. I recall that he was in good form up until the injury he picked up towards the end of last season. He barely kicked a ball after that because Smalling and Jones were in good form.

Rojo is a good option to have here. He's no world beater, but he's solid, fairly experienced and versatile.

 

[kundalini]

Had a poor 15 mins at the start of the 2nd half, apart from that he was excellent. Super cross for Herrera's goal.

 

[JackXX]

He played very well today but I wasn't surprised. I think he can play like that consistently if he keeps fit and we're lucky to have him with Shaw getting such a bad injury. I'm one of the few who don't really understand why he gets so much hate.

 

[2mufc0]

Good player and has always been decent for us, never understood the stick he gets on here.

 

[PlayerOne]

Easily his best game for us, did nothing wrong. Just need him to keep this up for us.

Wonder if having Smalling on his side helped?

 

[::sonny::]

Good game

 

[Van Piorsing]

He does that for his country, if he can do it for United regularly then perhaps no more shit talk about Argies being flops in United ?

There's still time for even further improvement as he's not even at the peak age for a footballer. Good to have him as an option along with even younger Jones surviving injuries like soldier on a battlefield.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

I am not a fan of Rojo, but he played well today and defended well too. Hopefully keeps it up.

 

[VanGaalEra]

As a Rojo supporter (compared to the unusual comments he gets on here), very satisfied with that performance. Arguably MOTM.

He's a good player and he's here to stay.

#RojoisRed

 

[Devil may care]

Arguably his best performance for us, composed on the ball and cut out the rash positional lapses, plus his one on one defending against both Everton RW options was very good.

 

[FCBarca]

What gives with the commentators on my stream who kept calling him Rocko?

 

[united_99]

I am a fan of him, good to see him back and performing well again!

 

[Red Dreams]

what is this talk he may be leaving?

 

[RedorDead21]

Such a better name. Kudos to them.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Yup proved the haters wrong.

Before doubting Rojo's long term future just remember Vidic and Evra's first 6 months with us...

 

[Andy_Cole]

did he go for the argentina games?
i really want to see the following back four against Everton,
Darmian Smalling Jones Rojo
Everton are no Arsenal, but I expect them to come at us, we need to be solid avoid conceding.
Jones and Rojo need to start becoming a part of the squad now. Let's hope they get a look in and stay fit.

You got your wish and they were great!

 

[Empire]

I don't get the hate for him either, he can play centre back well enough and left back too, obviously he isn't Shaw or Smalling but we also need squad players! I think he's a very good squad player due to his versatility just like Blind is. And I have no problem with him or Blind as left back for the rest of the season, inevitably injuries will happen and that's for all the clubs, you just want a player who can come in and perform well enough.

 

[Bwuk]

Going out on a limb and reitirating something I've said elsewher, Rojo and Smalling should be our defence. It's a shame Shaw isn't fit as Rojo is probably the best option for left back.

 

[sizzling sausages]

That cross was amazing. Very good defensively too, apart from a shaky start to the second half.

 

[limerickcitykid]

what is this talk he may be leaving?

He wasn't playing which obviously means you are on the way out. The media just fail to realize some players get injured and can't play.

 

[Red Dreams]

thought the commentator said this. Hate to lose him.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Yeah, they are saying it but it doesn't make it true. If he was on the way out he wouldn't be starting games over Blind. He fecked up the passport shit and hasn't been playing so the media assume he must be on his way out. The truth is they haven't a clue what is going on with Rojo and are only linking us with Indi because he is dutch and goes with the other 20 dutch players we've been linked to.

 

[Red Dreams]

at least we have options at LB (Rojo and Blind) instead of Young ffs.

We should be well covered there until Shaw returns.

 

[Kazi]

At the very least he can be a very good squad player for us. But hopefully he'll be more than that... he's only 25.

 

[suheilsworld]

A very good performance from Rojo. Really want him to make LB position his until Shaw returns. Blind can take some Cup games but Rojo should be a starter. His crossing today was immense. Although he is brash and is a penalty/red card waiting to happen, that is his style and get's the most out of him that way.

 

[Akshay]

Good performance, probably his best so far this season. He needs to be more consistent though, he'll put in a performance like this and then regress in the next match. Think Rojo's a useful option to have but I still have Blind ahead of him in the pecking order for both CB and LB.

 

[Eric'sCollar]

Thought he was great. Some great one on one defending and I thought he gave us good balance in both attack and defence. I do prefer him at CB and don't think he is a natural LB but obviously can do a job there. So with the current situation, Rojo being fit is key.

 

[RedTiger]

One or two mistakes otherwise top notch.

 

[Freak]

I don't get why people do not think he's good. He's been good overtime he's played at left back for us.

 

[jem]

What gives with the commentators on my stream who kept calling him Rocko?

Such a baffling thing with English commentators. It drives me crazy how they'd pronounce 'Javier' as 'Hav-i-eh,' or the over stressing of the first syllable in 'Martinez.'

 

[FCBarca]

But how do they arrive at Rocko from Rojo? A genuine mystery

 

[mu77]

did fine , great ball in for ander's goal.

 

[Obiorahking_]

Had a very good game. He defended well, tidy in possesion, and provided a very good cross.

 

[ryan_forlan]

You got your wish and they were great!

I know :-)
I was shocked when the line up was announced and buzzing too.
Hope this back four can get a run and do well

 

[Ibi Dreams]

But how do they arrive at Rocko from Rojo? A genuine mystery

Because in Spanish the J is scraped, and people who aren't comfortable doing that sometimes just do a hard K sound instead

 

[marlowe78]

Superb assist to Herrera. I still think he is Smalling's best partner but he can do the job at LB as well. A very, very underrated player for us.

 

[Jippy]

That cross

 

[Spock]

A great performance by Marcos, who's much better suited to play LB than CB. We'll miss Shaw but Rojo will de Eloy into a fantastic regular at left back for us.
