I would really be shocked if he didnt start vs Chelsea, i dont want him to given his current form but SAF does have a habit of playing him in the big game and hoping it pays off.
I'd agree with that.
Matchday threads usually contain two groups of posters, one who cant see anything wrong and one who cant see anything right. There's no balance, either a player is a legend, beyond improvement or he's shit, beyond repair.
Rafael can be conservative. He can also pass to someone in front of him, unlike O'Shea this afternoon who seems to be kicking it anywhere and expecting someone to chase it.
Absolutely. Rooney is so frustrating off the ball, makes the wrong run 4 times out 5.
I liked seeing him pick the ball up, take a couple touches forward, and then get rid of it. He's remarkably good on the ball, but didn't do this at all against Marseille.
He has had the ball many times and failed to even keep possession.
a team with some finishers would have killed them.
How about some objectivity ? If any other non United player had the same attitude Rooney had in the first half, he would have been slaughtered.Bloody hell
Nah, as long as the ref saw it there's nothing they can do
Mine was alright first half. It tends to denigrate as the game goes on, which annoys me. People suddenly deciding they're interested in the game in the 80th minute and logging on slowing it down.
He's supposed to be supporting Chicharito after he drops deep, but he drops deep and then passes the ball to the other team or loses it. He's done well once or twice, but he's screwed up more often.
I agree he should of been sent off.
even if he scores 10 you wont find me sucking up to him
Considering he's been essentially playing himself in midfield, I'm not sure how you've worked that out.
The ref can't send a player off for something he doesn't see, he can call the game back for something he doesn't see though if there is a man down as a result.
