Rashford, Carrick and Herrera are class.

Rooney's shitshow continues.

Rooney was poor... against League 1 opposition! Will he ever find his level?

Rashford is class.

Carrick is still our best midfielder.

Herrera may just make it here.

Rooney is shit.

It was all in all just a comfortable game apart from a bit of pressure from Northampton at certain points of the game.

Rooney, Rojo and Fosu Mensah were poor.

We won.

Rooney was horrible. Even worse than vs Watford.

I love Ander, he must start on Saturday.
Possibly with Carrick although I doubt it.
Rashford will be some player.

Waiting for Jose interview. He'll surely be asked about Rooney.

Positives:

Herrera is hitting stride and may be our answer to a lot of midfield problems, should start every week.
Carrick looks good.
Rashford is Rashford.
Rooney has shown yet again he is finished and should finally be benched.

Negatives:

3 out of the above four will probably start on the bench against Leicester.

Rooney looks like a pub player, fat slow and waiting for a pint

3% chose Rooney as their MOTM :lol:

We should never have given them a penalty, other than that it was comfortable enough and from time to time we played some decent football. Some players were clearly out there looking to be positive and impress the manager like Herrera, Carrick and I thought Memphis too. Herrera and Carrick should definitely be our favoured midfielders

Rooney getting another 5 year contract, he needs it to break Sir Bobby's record. Until then, we are stuck with him.

Ander should play, Rooney should retire.

Carrick looks interesting. Really could do with him in MF. Or at least someone like him.

One thing I have noticed is that we really are so brainwashed by Van Gaals pass it backwards method. I can still see it in the way we play.

Rooney and Rojo were both very poor. Oddly enough, the midfield looked more coherent for large parts of the game than it has done all season.

Crap game. Not much to take from it except for Rooney and Rojo both managing to be poor two levels down.

Didn't enjoy Ashley Youngs performance either, in either position.

Rashford and Hererra did well but they should do at this level.

I was in and out of the pub but from what I saw Carrick Herrera looked good. Play Pogba in front of them!

The lack of confidence shown in defending. Northampton normally shouldn't have been able to create even one chance due to difference in quality but our tentativeness helped them. Encouraging to see some better movement though, improving our midfield to attack transition. Carrick should play more and in league. Carrick - Pogba- Herrera or Carrick - Pogba- Mata will be good midfield.
