It's banter lads, inn't?
Rooney has been good this half at that's coming from someone who's been very critical of him all season.
I wouldn't describe this performance from Rooney as good. Average, but no where near good.Why when Rooney plays well do Martial and Depay play like they've never kicked a ball in their lives? Very frustrating.
I have. I just haven't been blinded by him finally making some passes. When the going is easy (first 15), he's done alright. Since then, very little.
0 tackles. 0 interceptions. No help for Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger.
He does not feature as a player passed to in the top 18 pass combinations of our players as per this - http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszon...0/summary#tabs-wrapper-anchor#:d_Gne8frqo-QBA
The pass statistics are doing ok but I agree with @Escobar and this graphic backs it up. Mainly all sideways and relying on others to make things happen. Anything he has tried to make has generally failed - crosses. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszon...VERALL_02#tabs-wrapper-anchor#:RR86aN5q9I-QBA
He simply hasn't offered enough defensively, creatively or in terms of shots, in what is a top heavy team for me, so far.
Still time to go of course...
Tagging the other quoters in this reply. Normally agree with Smoker, Rado and Randall but here I can't jump on board yet.
@Mrs Smoker @Rado_N and @Jake
At the second, I would strangle LVG.Process etc etc
How come? Mata out there never beats a man, and Rooney has a better cross on him than Mata.Well i would not put it like that. But i do think that a decent option, if we are talking about 4-3-3 stuff. He won't be any good in our current set-up which is a more of a 4-2-3-1.
Don't worry - we'll show some urgency during the last 5 minutes of the match...Surprising lack of urgency from us, very alarming considering the importance of this game.
Really is.Incredible the stick a young player gets in his 4th month at a new club in a new country who has produced some great moments
It's fecking baffling
One swallow does not a summer make. I voted him as my MOTM against Watford, the same way Macheda was my MOTM against Villa six years ago.He was motm in our last game for the love of fecking christ
You actually vomited that's how bad the post was? Damn.Literally sick of posts like this. I'd say he's been one of our best players.
yes. pull Memphis off at 60 mins and bring Young on.Two things:
Memphis having an absolute stinker
Rooney having a good one
His positioning has been appalling. He's offering no help whatsoever to the midfield.Rooney has been good this half at that's coming from someone who's been very critical of him all season.
Talk about Rooney hate...Rooney has offered absolutely nothing in the last 20 minutes. Complete ghosting passenger flapping his arms. Not supporting defensively. Not attacking with purpose. Not getting involved in play. Nothing.
Yeah, he's as clueless as anyone I've seen paid money to talk about football, and I'm including that fat brummie guy whose name escapes me. He contributes nothing but noise.Yes that's Savage. Shame the red button doesn't allow us to shut him up. He is as poor and annoying as a pundit as he was as a player. Which genius at BT Sport thought he should be given money?
Why? He has Squawka.you really need to understand football a lot more lad.
