I'm calling it. Rooney will doa job today, and will be nowhere near as bad as some people here say he will be.
Our attacking exploits will be fine, the forward line is in good shape and we have relied less and less on Rooney at the top, as more of our midfield have scored goals. This means that even if Falcao isn't in the best nick, Fellaini, Herrera and Mata have been in fine goalscoring touch. That will more than compensate. We need Falcao to keep their defenders busy, if he can do that we'll be fine.
I'm worried about our defence. Rooney will have to play out of his skin to cover the bases. What gives me encouragement is that I remember LVG once remarking that Rooney actually played that DM position quite well when Carrick or Blind was subbed off sometime during the season.
It's all done to belief in self and system. We can get them worried. We still have the tools for that. Anyone who believes we can't hasn't understood the system we play. It's about Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Young and Falcao. Seeing as everyone except one (who is not the fulcrum of the attack), is in great nick, I',m encouraged.
We may yet see a good outing lads. Chins up.
