"we're so shit it's unbelievable" was actually being sung on Saturday.
He still has 12 goals in the league even though he has spent half the season in midfield. I am perfectly fine with him as a CF. We just need to never ever play him in midfield again.
Hear here heer.
OP: change "knock-out" to "average/good" in the thread title.
He's been poor this season for me, but will probably get 20 goals next season if we sort out everything behind him and play him up front. Not many other strikers around you can say that for.
An average striker that is a stones throw away from becoming Manchester United's all time top goal scorer.
Even Giroud can. Giroud has as many goals as Rooney bte since Fergie retired. (PL). Every decent striker can score a fair amount with good service behind him, from Charlie Austin to Kane to Giroud, a great striker however, can force things out of himself and has the consistency to keep scoring. The run like Aguero made vs Spurs, Rooney hasnt been doing that for a while.
Also, most strikers are actually played in their position on a consistent basis. But let's compare stuff that shouldn't be, why not.
Remember how many headers he scored when our wingers were amazing?
We was like a mini Peter Crouch.
It's still there.

Nope. You'd never see Rooney scoring against a team like Spurs with a run from deep.
Its about the run behind the defence, not a run with the ball. Aguero constantly creates chances for himself, by exploiting the space behind the defence. Rooney doesnt.
He's still heading the ball often. Though, it's mostly in our box!
Great defender.
Crystal Palace 1:2 Man Utd
I think he has been playing with that knee injury that was supposedly cleared. I doubt we will see him play again this season.
Will he be back for the Arsenal game? Place your bets now.
Falcao played well towards the end of the game as he got more involved with the all round play. Hope Rooney doesn't rush from injury so that Falcao might finally get going( even if it is a bit late).

Rooney is finished as a top class footballer.
He looks about 40 and plays like a drunk.

I wish I was being paid £300,000 per week at work and deliver like this
Abysmal today. Again.
So much for the "he's better as no.9" shit...
We badly need another striker. Rooney has barely outscored Danny Ings this season.
He really is going to be our steven gerrard. If Fergie was here he would sell him.

Unfortunately I agree.
At some point, LVG will have to give Rooney the same treatment Mark van Bommel got when the latter was no longer fit to carry on at Bayern. Captain or not, he should not be invulnerable to the prospect of being benched.
Has to be a priority
He was awful today but it is pretty funny how in a game where so many others played poorly his is the only thread that instantly shoots the top of the section.
As bad as I've seen him play. Did nothing right.
As has been said a million times before, Rooney brings a lot more than goals.
I agree though. We're in dire need of another prolific goalscorer
Typical with Rooney, great on form, absolutely useless when off form. His consistency has always been a massive problem, you just never know what you're going to get.
Probably something to do with him being a mainstay in the starting 11 every week when playing crap more often than not.
Defenders find him easy to deal with now. He can't run behind and isn't a physical threat anymore.
What has be brought recently?
He was dreadful and even had a petulant kick out as well.
We need a striker.
He usually is bad after coming back from injury though. And the match was meaningless so I will cut him some slack.
I'm really worried about him being undroppable. He's been shite for weeks now.
Piss poor (again)....sometimes I wonder if he just can't be bothered anymore!!
He missed one game.
People will mention his goal record a United but he is regressing as much as our other strikers and it's becoming a problem. Even more so when he has to play every game.
He's the only one that LVG deems an automatic starter on the premise that he's captain. Both having that philosophy and making him captain are poor decisions in my opinion.
