At least Sir Bobby's record is safe
Rooney is finished

I wonder if hair loss medication has ruined him. I know that sounds ridiculous but if you look into it, it's really not that crazy. For some people it effects them mentally and physically as it lowers DHT which is a powerful androgen hormone. For people who have bad side effects from it, it's like the opposite of taking steroids. Some say they are weaker in the gym and can't think as effectively. Rooney has looked physically and mentally different for a few years now. He declined so quickly at a young age. He's not like Michael Owen who had some terrible injuries. Rooney seems to have lost his touch, it's as if his focus is no longer there.
Of course he is. I think that Mourinho and nick are the only people who can't see it. I genuinely think that he wouldn't start for any other EPL team, he is that bad.
Mourinho's spell will be defined by this decision. If he continued being a coward, he won't get a second year. It is clear that Ed doesn't give an another season if you don't reach UCL, and it is clear that we won't get top 4 with Rooney starting.
If Mourinho starts him next week, then I hope we do something about Mourinho in the first place. This is worse than Liverpool and Gerrard, it simply must not be tolerated anymore.

Not only finished at the highest level overall, he also finishes phases of attacking pressure earlier than others, most players wait for the referee to blow the whistle but he's prepared to give up just so he can have a proper go at the ref.
Is Mourinho blaming Rooney for not pressing in the second goal?
one of him or Jose will survive
a) Jose bench Rooney
or
b) Rooney keeps on playing and Jose is done

We need Jones to kick him in the head, again.
People have been complaining about Rooney for a while but this really does seem like the end point. If he isn't dropped now then when?
I have never thought of it like that but I would have to agree.
Holy shit, the onesidedness of the poll 
The worst part about Rooney playing, isn't that he misplaces two of every three to the opposition, or that he can't weight a pass to save his life, or that the only time he tries to pass forward instead of sideways or backwards he lobs it into row Z, or the only time he attempts a shot he scuffs it so badly it goes for a throw, the worst part is he feckS our formation every game.
He's like having a useless fecking willow tree in the middle of a basketball court, you just have to try and play around him and hope the ball doesn't bounce off him. He's preventing genuinely good players like Pogba playing further forward, stopping Herrera and Mata playing at all, stopping a known class player like Carrick have a swan song, stopping Schweinstiger and Schneiderlin from having a look in, stopping Ibra from playing deeper and letting Rashford play up front. He just fecks it all up.
feck Rooney and feck Moyes for giving him a new contract like a farewell kick in the teeth.

To be a bit fair i still think he had a good game today, that is atleast by hes normal form. He did get the ball to Valencia quite a few times. And that one narrow pass to Rashford was also good. Could indeed help out Zlatan a bit more. Atleast if hes suppose to be a 10, right now im a bit confused about what he is.
He's still got a few years on that contract, hasn't he?
Mou not playing him in his best position which is left back in Lowry hotel.
No it hasn't but it does look like he is a real issue for us now.
Old Yeller, at least that was sad.
Stop scaring me.He's still got a few years on that contract, hasn't he?
Someone show Mourinho and Woodward this bloody thread.
feck Wayne Rooney.
feck Wayne Rooney.
In fairness mate witha username like yours not many people will take you seriously.
Take a bow. This is bang on.
Yep, what has he got over this club? It's bizarre. I hope Mourinho has the bollocks to drop him but I just don't see it happening, something stinks in suburbia.
unless you were joking but he was, he offered absolutely nothing to the team today. His first touch was league 2 standards, his crosses were goal kicks and his corners were a chance for Watford to counter attack.
Not even that. Schweinsteiger is far more well spoken and likeable.
If Mourinho wants to keep his job long term he has to cut ties with Rooney
And what if they do?
Seriously, if a manager fears doing something because of the press, he has no business being a manager at all.
I genuinely am beginning to hate the sight of him, I just want him gone.
I think he'd be a world class goalkeeper if played there. Jose should consider that.
This is 2016 and a manager has to respect the power of the press. It's a sad truth.
Don't understand why Mourinho keeps picking him
I will accept every bad result and pressure Jose comes under if he continues to not only to pick him but have him as our number 10, probably the most crucial position of the team. For me everything he does is shit, why the feck can't Jose or every ass kissing ex team mate or English player see it. I'm more angry at Wayne than the result. He is like a disease to this starting eleven. It surely must be a contractual thing as why would Jose risk his own reputation and put huge pressure on Pogba by not letting him express himself with two midfielders behind him. Rooney is utterly detrimental to our side and to our CL qualification hopes. I bet every opposition player/manager can't wait to face a United side full of square pegs being led by Rooney. We are dog shit, not transitional bollocks, simply dog shit and Wayne is the regurgitated cherry on top of the steaming pile of excrement we currently are.
That one was obvious, he was right there next to Shaw and just stood.
Rooney is now paying the price for not looking after his body, for years he came back every pre-season overweight from overeating and drinking. I'm not sticking up for him but another factor is that when Rooney came onto the scene at 16 he was physically built like a 26 year old and now looks like hes in his late 30's/early 40's despite being only 30, he even looks older than Giggs.
Its becoming a joke that he still features so regularly, despite being so far off the pace, looks knackered after only an hour.

This thread should be a poll only and not open to replies. Otherwise its going to be like any other rooney thread.
Aye, AVB wanted to be quite ruthless and to change a lot at Chelsea back when he went there if I remember correctly but Terry and co savaged him and he was gone by the February. Being new to the PL and up against English players like Terry the press were never going to back him.
The arrogance of him announcing his retirement from the national team two years in advance really irritated me for some reason.
Would any premier league club take him in their starting 11? Serious question. I can't see him sticking out at any club, even shite like Hull, Burnley or Sunderland. Actually I can't even see him standing out if he played in the championship, he'd just be a standard player. He is fecking terrible, and that's no exaggeration. Watch if he plays against Northampton. Will stand out for how bad he is even against that level opposition.
His technique is brutal. Can't control a ball to save his life, nor can he pass. His fitness is also terrible. Runs for 10 minutes and can barely close anyone down anymore. Slow, weak, overweight, and just lacks focus and doesn't know how to do anything. He looks about 40 years old on the pitch, not someone who should age wise be just about leaving his prime.

I missed the match but voted yes based on the last two seasons.
No surprises really. He's 31 going on 35,literally. Dude has been at it since he was 16! He'd be 35 if he made his debut at 20.
And to think people were still defending how important he was after Thursday
I never wish injuries to players but seriously for the first time I thought it would be really nice if he was out for 2-3 weeks... It's really getting ridiculous, he just can't play football anymore. Mourinho can't drop him because reaction from the media would be crazy as he has a lot of mates here.
