Scary times and all but I doubt Pogba needs to be wearing a bullet proof vest in the stadium.
It's from another game, you numpty.You mean when he turned koscielny inside out and narrowly missed smashing it into the top corner from outside the area? Or do you mean all of his very good passing play? Or do you mean his goal?
No problem with having a go when hes rubbish, but tonight suggested it has been form, rather than "his legs have gone". He played well.
Of course this is a friendly in weird circumstances, but he looked sharp to me.
Oops sorry!It's from another game, you numpty.
Didn't watch the England match.
When he dropped deep, Fellaini's mop was pushed up to play #10 to get on the end of crosses. The game plan was for Rooney to play a diagonal ball and the winger to cross into Fellaini. Obliviously did not work. Rooney had a decent game.One of the worst displays by a no.10 I have ever seen. He left a chasm between our attack and our midfield, and when he dropped deeper in the second half he did nothing but give the ball away. He's so far past it, he's coming back round again.
That's clearly a tactic by the manager. He's always said he wants his 10 to be a second striker. Herrera tends to stand very high up when he plays there too. For god sake Rooney is usually guilty of looking for the ball too much. Second half he had no options available to him except long balls forward or pass it back.One of the worst displays by a no.10 I have ever seen.

If you think that's a decent game, you've let your standards fall to the floor. We really are at absolute rock bottom right now quality wise. Look at Rooney's positioning all game. Playing in what should be the no.9's space and not linking the play up. His legs have gone. He had a decent 15 minutes, and then he went back to being poor and eventually diabolical.When he dropped deep, Fellaini's mop was pushed up to play #10 to get on the end of crosses.

When your DMs deliver a performance like Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger delivered today, you can't fault a #10. Even Kaka in his prime would struggle.If you think that's a decent game, you've let your standards fall to the floor. We really are at absolute rock bottom right now quality wise.

Sneiderlin was poor today and unfortunately we have some really rookies in Martial,Lindgard and Memphis.When your DMs deliver a performance like Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger delivered today, you can't fault a #10. Even Kaka in his prime would struggle.
rooneys been voted by 7percent people as the MOTM people go really mental, hes the biggest reason we switched off in the second half, he is absolutely disgraceful captain material, what more can I say, we wont win anything while hes starting for us, mark my words..
Or if your expectations of him are so low then you might think he had a 'decent game'...and it might even stretch to a 'very good' game.If you think that's a decent game, you've let your standards fall to the floor.

He was? Decent in the first half, but I'd struggle to particularly rank him above a number of our other players. Better than the worst of the side like Fellaini and Schneiderlin, aye, but hardly a good player surrounded by shite ones either.Stats shmats.
Although those stats more or less reflect what happened. He was one of our better players, a just about acceptable performance surrounded mainly by utter shite.
Him and Lingard were head and shoulders the best players in the first half. The whole team were garbage in the second half but Rooney was probably marginally less shite than some of them.He was?
