Rooney as a striker? He couldn't stay up front if his life depended on it.

It's infuriating.

 

[togg]

wow....Rooney is never going to get 20 goals at this rate

 

[MajorTom]

Disagree. Ball retention is piss poor

Aye, only 57% possession with a 89% pass success rate so far.

 

[EmPeeKay]

A very sluggish start by us, but the game is speeding up a bit. I'm not being negative but we look really nervous when we're pressed high up the pitch.

 

[hbgreg]

We're playing better than last week and our organization on defense is superb.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Is Depay really slow or am I imagining it?

 

[Stobzilla]

Do any of you actually enjoy football ?

 

[DiceRoller]

Rooney you're killing me!

 

[Oaencha]

Got any spare?

It takes 2-3 weeks to kick in so it wouldn't be much use. The pain meds I'm taking for my hand are making this sheep show a little more bearable; fancy a couple?!

 

[soap]

Rooney really not looking sharp

 

[Infra-red]

Rooney's touch looks off.

It's been non-existent since the start of preseason.

 

[ivaldo]

There's just no third man run.

 

[Woodenlung]

He'll probably score tonight, but Rooney has been very poor so far.

 

[Spoony]

All United to be fair.

 

[Golo]

I hope they bring Mata on soon, really missing him tonight.

 

[Shark]

I predicted a tight game. I think we'll win though, we're using the ball well enough.

 

[togg]

All United to be fair.

yep...that is true..but...

 

[OldRed73]

Lol. That's one ugly villa player.

Can you narrow it down a bit

 

[OutOfTowner]

This is good, we're looking more confident and more direct plus our ball retention is pleasing too.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Better in the last 5 minutes. I do like the first impressions of Memphis on the wing.

 

[J-Stander]

Why is Rooney basically playing as a midfielder again? He's doing my head in.

 

[Varun]

Nice attempt januzaj.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Januzaj needs to attack the goal there.

 

[Bocca9978]

Do any of you actually enjoy football ?

I wonder the same thing sometimes. Come on United.

 

[duffer]

Lovely ball from Januzai. Depay with a head like a 50p piece.

 

[Garethw]

We're as toothless as a prison queen.

 

[Sky1981]

Rooney looks like that one odd guy nobody was willing to pass to

 

[Shady]

Memphis is trying at least. Rooney is shocking.

 

[shabadu84]

Memphis making some good runs, passes in need to be in front though

 

[Raw]

Great ball from Adnan

 

[Phil]

Memphis easily our best player now.

 

[Tincanalley]

I miss RVP

 

[Hed Zitin]

Absolutely nothing attacking wise down the right.

 

[bosnian_red]

If only we had Messi providing these passes to Memphis... Making these runs all day

 

[OutOfTowner]

Hard for Depay to control being so high above him but good build up nonetheless.

 

[Spoony]

yep...that is true..but...

...Where's Bryan Robson?

 

[Kill 'em all]

Just give him a good pass and he will score!

 

[Red Stone]

Memphis easily our best player now.

Shaw or Smalling.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

At least we're creating chances...

 

[Damien]

Adnannnnnn
