That is clearly incorrect though. It has shown by the amount of dross in this thread that the better he gets and the more he contributes the harder people will sink to convince everyone he's still shite. In theory this is great, but in practice you only need to look at this thread to see just how low some sink to heap shit on him. He's been pretty good with several contributions and the running narrative is that we'd be better off without him.
I am not convinced that some people will ever regain any form of objectivity on the matter. The attention that it garners for some users will continue to be a card used to derail the thread and pick petty arguments.
Anyway, absolutely pumped for the derby tomorrow. I want Rooney to have a banger because when he plays well the team plays well.
Ok honest question, how well do you think rooney has played in the past 3 matches? In my opinion, Rooney goes wrong with the basic things like trapping the ball, first touch, passing to a team mate etc which ends up infuriating everyone as we end up giving the ball away in dangerous positions or our attack / counter attack gets screwed.
Yes, he has provided the assists when it mattered and that is great. But he is the captain, the highest played and the most experienced player at United.
Having three- four good moments in 90 minutes won't mask his shocking abilities to do the simple stuff.
I simply want him gone, but if he plays well tomorrow, i can hope that he still has something to contribute to the team.
I also hope he has a great game tomorrow. As you said, if he plays well, the team will end up playing well.
