90% of teams play better football than us
Was good today, tried hard.
Still, way overpaid.

If you're talking about Valencia here and not Young then yes, you're right.The goal at Blackburn Rovers (it was this match when he hit with the outside of his foot right ? )
Very good yesterday I thought! How great would it be if we could have all fit and in form at the same time and play all three behind Rooney with Young and Nani changing between the middle and the left? Talk about pace and creativityI thought he was easily our best player yesterday. It's great to have 3 quality wingers.
Pretty crap? He was the best player on the pitch by a distance in the first half. It was as well as i've ever seen him play though he then faded a bit in the second after he got a knock.First half I thought he was pretty crap but as seemingly is the norm with Young though he's still capable to scoring very very good goals regardless. Second half he, Smalling and Ferdinand looked like the only ones who really had any hunger and urgency so he gets props for that
I'll be honest here and will probably get lashed for this but feck it - I'm not a fan. Sure he was big fish at Villa and he does look like a fancy flair player amongst this dull England lot but in hindsight I don't think £18million on a player on his final contract was worth it for him. He's a good player and probably good enough to warrant being in our squad but I honestly don't think we need him with Nani, Valencia, Park and now Kagawa being able to cover our flanks...makes it seem a little awkward now we've already given him substantial wages on a 5yr contract.
Anyway, I'm cowardly dashing from this thread now.
when rooney comes back the only player that should make way is that shite bag milner with his missed chance.Yes I hope he doesn't lose his place in the team upon Rooney's return because he's had the difficult job of filling the number 10 role in his absence. He's been a consistent threat on the left for England over the last year or so it would be a shame if it's him that makes way.
With Rooney in the hole he almost plays as a late coming box to box (but from attacking midfield to box) midfielder as someone who can dictate the play of the forward 3 and with Gerrard and Parker in behind I think it could be quite useful. He can then always just push up and play as an advanced part of a 4-4-2 as he did well this season with Welbeck.When Rooney comes back he can play where Young played today, and he is far superior to Young from the hole. Young can move to the left and Roy could pick anyone he likes on the right(preferably Walcott). Not that bad of a setup.
