Isn't even the worst player on the pitch, but lets bash him anyway because it's Rooney.

Certainly not the worst player on the field. Pushing towards a 7/10 at the minute.

Zlatan was moaning at him most of the half to move and make runs.

Good half from Wayne. Think his square ball to Ibra should have been a bit better, but other than that he's been fine. Pressing well, nice link up play, running off the ball and creating chances.

The thing that has impressed me the most; however, is the positions he's getting into. He actually looks like he's going to score today, and has at least two chances to do so.

I thought he's been very very good, especially considering that if you read this forum you'd believe he plays with his bootlaces tied together. He's been playing some nice football but Ibra doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength.

He wasn't decent. He looks finished. His body can't follow. Playing like a League 1 striker.

Barely took part in the game. He was as effective as the subs that replaced him. Played poorly like most of his team mates but for him it was a normal performance.

He must also be the freshest player in our team. Running a lot for attacker doesn't mean 'decent' game.

He's lost any of the clinical goalscoring ability he once had.

He never ever looks a threat.

Overall I thought he was fine but I thought it was the right choice to sub him.

Looked our most threatening player going, especially in the first half. Not sure why he was taken off.
I'll agree with the first part of your statement but it's no surprise he was taken off. He was blowing out of his arse, he looked done.

Yeah he wasn't that bad, he was just non-existent, he's not doing anything wrong, but he's not doing anything good either, just a waste of space on the pitch, really shoud be sold this summer

He doesn't do anything that any other player could do. He's become such a team player that he's lost that individuality that made him who he was.

His movement with and without the ball is well below Mkhi and that showed in our lack of sharpness, had one or two good individual moments early in the first half.

He's like an abstract painting. You don't draw a mountain that look like a true mountain, but enough vague clues for people to see or feel it as a mountain.

Credit where credit is due. Rooney was good today. Not outstanding, not excellent, but simply good. Comparing to Pogba and Zlatan he actually used his difficult chance to test Boruc. I do not like Rooney, but if this is the forget him he shows playing a number 10 position then I am happy for him to play, but I do not think that this is going to happen.

The best thing I can say about him is he wasn't as bad as Zlatan. He worked hard, which is probably the best we can hope for these days.
