Busby, i never suggested putting up Pogba in place of Rooney but if i may say so, he might even be an improvement on the ineffective Jones.
I would give Giggs or Young a run out in the second half. Our left wing has been blunt and Evra can't keep going up and down, eventually this might cost us. People also forget that Valencia is on a yellow card.
Yes, Rooney does the cross-field pass as good as anyone in the game. that is not in dispute, but the amount of times he loses the ball close to the box, trying to thread one through is abysmal. Rooney is by some distance our best player but in the final third, i would go as far as saying his passing (not crossing) is atrocious.
Rooney is a good player but this united team needs a creative player that can pass a ball through an eye of a needle

fair play to evra so far, doing a one man job down the left, some clever thinking and body movement. hopefully he won't have to defend in the 2nd.
Agree- Rooney has this obsession with doing Stevie Me type cross field balls.
What we need Rooney to do is stay up front with Chicha, what benefit do we derive from trying to thread a pass to one player upfront? He is easily crowded out. Rooney is constantly dropping deep. An infuriating part of his game.
Our over reliance on Valencia's pace and crosses is painfully obvious. The danger is when he has a quiet day, like today, then who else steps up?
The central midfield has decent passers but does it have the creativity to unlock a crowded defence? Because all I see is the ball spread out to Valencia, time and time again!
A few years back it was an obsession with chipping the goalkeeper.
45 mins to make a big stride towards the title
There's strong rumours going all around the internet now we've signed that dutch midfielder from PSV.
Need strong start to second, we all saw Blackburn lifted when we didn't score.
Come on Utd !!
We were off 2 minutes ago.
This is why I wanted Welbeck starting over Hernandez tonight...
That is true, but nobody else is looking to play Chica in quickly, its something he does often when playing with him, the early through ball. I agree its not his forte.
A set piece will decide this
Ska, I'll respond to you in 2 mins
But then he'll be 2mins further ahead.
@Nan,
Im watching Sky and apparently Im behind.
He are playing like Arsenal. All possession, no finishing.
at least United aren't behind
