I really think his range of passing is overrated.Rooneys passing today is hilariously bad
I can't understand why Di Maria and Rooney are playing in positions where clearly they would both be more effective if swapped.
Cause we have a a midfielder as a defender, a striker as a mid and a mid as a strikerWhy do we find it SO hard to create chances against every single team.

Probably because the defender risks more and the commentators can spin it into a talking pointWhy do commentators always point out defenders holding attackers shirts but not the other way around? Its almost always going on from both sides.
Well good luck finding a modern defender who does not pull shirts, it's the dark art of defending, you have to the risksrisks, by any means necessary.If our defenders can't defend without pulling jerseys maybe we need new defenders. We'll get punished for that any day.

No point in pace up front if no chances created for them. Di Maria running at the defence from midfield would be far more scary as far as Southampton are concerned.I think it's because our forward line is so ponderous that LvG wants to inject some pace into it, which he's done by playing Di Maria up there.
