Decent first half... Darmian looked class again! Midfield in control. Defence looks steady and Memphis and more so Januzaj have looked good.
Rooney stands out like a sore thumb though. His lack of technical ability isn't suited in this team.Yorke is so biased for us Love it.For the penalty claim, Smalling is having his shirt pulled. Why is it a foul on Richards but not on Smalling?Take rooney off that field. Disgrace to have this as our 300k per week captain.Rooney doesn't look like he can lead a line alone. Mata is shit defensively. Januzaj has fallen over just about everytime he has touched the ball apart from the goal. Memphis has been average.
On the plus side , our defence looks solid. Our Fullbacks are fecking awesome and smalling has been a beast. Schneiderlin looks a bit lost tho.Not sold on Memphis at all. He is showing nothing more than some of our "kids". Mata was almost entirely worthless but as is his style he made the one killer pass. As much as I hate him out there how can you take a player like that off when nobody else creates? So happy for Januzaj but now I think Pereira deserves a chance.feck off shitknappWe showed promise and our defence looks solid.
But please someone replace Rooney with a world class striker !!!
Should have sold Rooney and not RVP, how much i wish he was still here now!People saying drop Roioney but for who?, our squad is still a shambles even after all the money we have spent.
The narrative, man.Wow is this just tactics or are we really this unattractive to watch. Yes winning again like v Spurs but dull, slow and uninspiring football. Rooney is having a total mare hopefully he can get a customary goal against Villa, he needs something as looking a shadow of his former self. Still if we can get three points that's the main thing but this philosophy is wearing thin for me....We have the talent Van Gaal just needs to let them express themselves and cut the negativity.Redknapp ..bitter as ever.Rooney gets paid 300k a week to make some bad touches and passes, it's madness.
Anyone. Phil Jones up front would be a bigger threat. Wayne Rooney should be written off as a long-term liability on our financial statements.
Is that £s or Euros?Rooney - another reason to hate Moyes
We could have offloaded him and made Josie look a right twat in the process
And play who?
if it goes on long enough he will be asked the question
Why though? Blind aside we've got pace at the back in abundance. We had a very high line against Spurs last year (probably our best performance) and we won the ball so many times in their third. Villa are a bit crap and passing the ball out the back but we'll have to improve if we want to compete with the best. All the top European sides work harder than the English sidesDarmian is such a gem of a player. I think he is our best signing, I did not realize he is this good.
Smalling has also been absolutely excellent so far.
Schneiderlin had a good half imo.
His movement has been good, and he's made some nifty runs but just not been found. He's 21, he is one of our "kids".
Exactly what I was thinking too.Wayne to score 2 in the second half.
He removed van Bommell from captain at Bayern and later got rid of him. Is the world coming to an end? Jamie Redknapp actually makes a fair point on the Darmian-Richards incident (ie. Richards having essentially gotten away from him).Maybe we should get Rooney off, play Januzaj up front and bring in Herrera
Van Gaal.Rooney will score.Rooney has been useless but he always had very lows in the form. Now he is playing as a striker where he can't really hide. I am pretty sure he will get it right at some point. He isn't lost yet.People are going overboard with Matt Darmian, he's been very good defensively, I'll say that but offensively he's been somewhat limited. Although to be fair to him the whole team has been.We are playing away to a decent pl team. One goal up and it's our second game of the season with new players settling in.
Reading caf would make one think we're struggling at OT against a championship team in a cup final.
Absolutely mental some of you lot are. Rooney, like most of the footballers is a bit rusty and he usually needs more time to get into his groove. Why's everyone so surprised and wants to get rid?
We've lost so much of the core that Fergie built and people want Rooney out. Just stop watching for a few games ffs if you can't take early season troubles. There isn't even trouble, we're winning our 2nd game as well. Mental some of you, absolutely mental.Villa's only chance are long balls towards Gestede. They have nothing offensively.Need Carrick collecting the ball more - Schneiderlin is great tackling but has been lacking in spatial awareness - he keeps getting picked and it was the same last week.Yorke is so biased for us Love it.
He has to be biased in order to balance the commentary a bit. Those two former scouse players were lamenting Darmian and even thought Richards deserved a penalty.
Never mind being the captain and his wages. Our leading striker shouldn't be that bad.The worst thing about Rooney?
He is the captain!
At my local club the captain washes the kits, hopefully thats the limits of responsability Rooney has.- Status
