1-0 away from home at half time at the start of the season - the moaning on here is unbelievable!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

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.

I want him to get SBC record, then sell him. If he doesn't do it soon we will never get rid. Then he will only get worse still.

 

[Tincanalley]

The narrative, man.

class.

 

[Browniee]

Depay is the only one making runs, thing is we haven't got anyone who is capable of finding him

 

[Mr.Kaya]

Rooney gets paid 300k a week to make some bad touches and passes, it's madness.

He needs to start scoring goals again or at least start creating more chances for the other players. The way he plays now can't be called worldclass at all, think we call expect more from him.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

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.

This is good, sometimes it's even worse.

 

[Varun]

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 sides

I don't think the players are fit enough to press that high, way too early in the season. I think van Gaal is known to have his teams press once the CMs get the ball and not the CBs anyways.

 

[Mystry]

Why isn't Smalling the one with Richards? Would've thought you'd put the strongest player with a beast like Richards.

 

[JPRouve]

Yorke is so biased for us Love it.

I actually think he is right, in term of jurisprudence it's not a foul, referees very rarely whistle that, and it happens in every games, every weeks, in every leagues.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I'm not surprised people are focusing on Rooney, but I don't think he's been the problem at all this half. Some of the passes he receives are absolute turds and he's feeding off scraps. I thought Schneiderlin and Carrick didn't work at all in the first half and were nowhere near the front four to provide support. I like how Januzaj has played, even though he gets fouled every 30 seconds, and Memphis needs to do better even though he's new to the league and this was to be expected. The defence has been good at actually defending but quite a bit of the passing from the back has been absolutely suicidal.

Overall we've looked lethargic at times and a bit off the pace. Hope we can string a bit more good play together in the second half, there's been some nice glimpses here and there.

 

[kidbob]

Think Carrick and Schniederlin are too similar and Herrera would add a bit of movement and forward momentum if he was played next to one of them. Even BFS would add more class on the ball.

 

[OldRed73]

What does Rooney do in training that he doesn't in games to warrant a start.

Probably involves a BJ for LVG

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

if it goes on long enough he will be asked the question

If he's ever asked the question then you can be sure that he will go in the exact other direction and never drop him ever again. If one wanted it to happen telling him that "obviously Rooney is undroppable" would be the way to go!

 

[Obiorahking_]

You know maybe Rooney just is not getting enough of the ball??

 

[DomesticTadpole]

1-0 away from home at half time at the start of the season - the moaning on here is unbelievable!

I think they are happy, just that they are sick of Wayne.

 

[OutOfTowner]

Back again. Let's do 'em.

 

[Tincanalley]

1-0 away from home at half time at the start of the season - the moaning on here is unbelievable!

@sammsky1 what you talking about? You crazy? Moaning? In here?

 

[OldRed73]

Well in Yorkey

What did he say? - I had it on mute

 

[Kill 'em all]

You know maybe Rooney just is not getting enough of the ball??

I hope it stays that way because each time he gets the ball he just gives it away or slows everything down.

 

[SteveW]

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.

Strange. I think he looks like an excellent player. Strong, quick, really tidy in possession and looks like he can make something happen. I think he'll be a really good signing.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

You know maybe Rooney just is not getting enough of the ball??

On the contrary he is getting too much of it.

 

[Golo]

1-0 away from home at half time at the start of the season - the moaning on here is unbelievable!

Why are you surprised? Moaning is what we do and we like it.

 

[Anustart89]

Rooney again. Just sub him off.

 

[simonhch]

Thought we played really well until for the first 30 minutes. Got sloppy after that. Just need to re-establish control again. I like the look of the front four.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Today is all about RESULTS...performances will come later once we build momentum

Most players still look very unfit, but as long we win we will be fine

I agree, a win is a win, even if we pay rubbish and OG is the scorer.

 

[Browniee]

Haha Rooney

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Here we go … Rooney blah, blah

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Can we show a little more willing this half please

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Villa so far doesn't look to be threat upfront. Only our brainfarts have given them any chances. Midfield doing a good job not letting them have a sniff.

Just need our front line to click...dunno how, like many posters Rooney looks a shadow of his former self.

 

[Baxter]

What did he say? - I had it on mute

That Darmian on Richards wasn't a foul. Winding up the pair of dippers.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

So he's offside. Big fecking deal.

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

Rooney looking awful it must be said

 

[OldRed73]

Wayne to score 2 in the second half.

... of the season

 

[pauldyson1uk]

1-0 away from home at half time at the start of the season - the moaning on here is unbelievable!

match day thread, I have seen it worse MUCH WORSE.

 

[Lewis.no.9]

The sooner we put Mata central behind Hernandez or a new striker the better

 

[Anustart89]

So he's offside. Big fecking deal.

I was talking about his failure to trap the ball, yet again.

 

[Browniee]

Thought we played really well until for the first 30 minutes. Got sloppy after that. Just need to re-establish control again. I like the look of the front four.

Yeah it does look good on paper doesn't it, that's the thing so much pace but no control

 

[Litch]

Can't remember Rooney having a worse game. Absolutely shocking

 

[Antisocial]

Wow the English media are obsessed with Gestede

 

[OutOfTowner]

Rooney looking awful it must be said

And it can't even be offset by his football skills.

 

[OldRed73]

That Darmian on Richards wasn't a foul. Winding up the pair of dippers.

Always liked Yorkie
