Remember the good old days when Rooney played and we used to win matches? And the only thing we needed to do to dominate the world of football was to drop him. What happened to that plan?
He might not be perfect but at least he shows some passion and leadership. Bring Wayne back!!!!
Pure and simple, we need a new striker. Rashford has tons of promise, but it's still asking a lot for him to shoulder the burden (unless we decide to put Martial up front, but my impression is that he's more suited to coming in from the left.) Ibra has been incredibly disappointing of late, no better than Rooney. It seems pointless bringing it up now, but I still kind of wish we had Hernandez.I actually think he should start on Wednesday but really only because Ibra's been so bad in his last two outings. I've kind of given up hope of Rooney every being good enough to be a regular starter in a team good enough to nail down a top four slot.
It is interesting, though. This widespread idea that dropping Rooney would unleash a feast of fluent attacking football. How's that working out? Everyone was cock-a-hoop when we put four past Leicester but let's not forget how many we scored from corners. That particular goalfest aside we've looked just as blunted in attack as we ever were with Rooney in the team.

ThisShould have started 'Bring back Martial' or 'Play Rashford as striker' thread instead.
5 points from 6 league games will do that to people.Christ. This place goes to the dogs after a drubbing.

absolutely not true. we looked terrific against Stoke aswel. After that we've had games against Liverpool and Chelsea where out tactics were to destroy rather than attackI actually think he should start on Wednesday but really only because Ibra's been so bad in his last two outings.

Think he offers some leadership and drive which is sorely lacking in what we've seen recently.Yup we have been shite and believe me, I'm extremely frustrated with everything related to the club. But why the actual feck would we bring back Rooney? Honestly can you make a good argument for this or is this merely an attention seeking thread?

Could have used him in the Ronaldo role. Coached Smalling from the sidelines to not make those mistakes.Rooney is a leader and makes sure he is always the worst man on the pitch which automatically would have made Mike a better defender.
Jeez this place is all over the shop. To the people talking about leadership and what have you, are you saying if you're losing Rooney will be vocal and urge the team to fix up? That if you're not playing well he will inspire the team?
That he may lead from the front and drag you to a win?
Because quite frankly I find that hilarious. He hasn't done that for donkeys years. And this isnt me having a dig, Gerrard in his latter stages lost his "desire" so to speak. You wouldn't find him roaring the crowd on like when he scored the goal in the 05 CL final.
Rooney doesn't do that anymore. This thread is simply a panic thread in response to the loss.
"Ahh! We lost 4-0, quick do something! I know Rooney."
