Wayne Rooney

What happened Mr C?

Christ he had a shocker today, absolute shocker

I watched the Liverpool game and suarez provided an outlet (basically stayed on the halfway line) for most of the game

I keep banging on about how capello used to say rooney isn't disciplined enough to play as a number 9 but people want to believe its passion

also captaincy isn't ofr him, he needs to have the focus taken off him not put on him, historically for England and utd a rooney as ''main man'' = nothing

In the first half in particular I jumped out of my seat. he had the easiest pass in the world to play to Nani who was in lots of space on the edge of the box.
Instead thumps it 50 yards to the far touchline to Smalling and it gets intercepted.

Benched - yeah I was screaming as was my lad at that. But this is teh norm, no matter where he is on teh pitch he has one pass, ping to the right.

truthfully give rooney space and time and he can do well, under pressure he cannot and this appears to be picked up by tams as they just pressure him asap and today I counted 4 chances where rooney lost teh ball and we were immediately outnumbered and under pressure, only one resulted in a goal though and that was teh penalty

last season I said that we lose teh ball too quick up front and that doesn't help our MF or defence, and this is what I meant

Be careful in these parts what you say about Rooney. Some of the elder chaps (Whose opinions I respect) have him down as one of the greatest players in England and Utd history.

Personally he should have been flogged in the summer. Fergie gave Moyes a free pass to do so and he didn't.

just heard rooney interview on MUTV, basically saying what I said ie no penetration and no players making runs

anyone get it to put on here?

I bet if a granny had been out there with Rooney there would have been lots of penetration...

Was he not supposed to be the one making runs behind for others to find him?

Rooney is on 300k p/w and is not worth anything like that. You could pay 200k p/w and have two players better than him.
