Lol it's amazing how bad he actually is. Offers nothing.
 
I'm convinced we only bought him because he's left footed
 
The problem is that even on his best days, he is just a reasonably solid defender. and we dont get nearly enough of those days.
 
He's clearly not a left back. And arguably only good enough to be backup for us at CB. Can only blame LvG for persisting with him when Darmian is available. He seems to be the "safe choice" due to aerial ability and the fact he offers little going forward.
 
Wasn't one of the reasons we bought him to keep company Di Maria? Read at the time they became really close during WC :lol::wenger:
 
We should stay away from Argentinians.

He cant defend, he cant cross, his passing is terrible, his positioning is terrible, and he even does foul throws. ...

Maybe PSG will buy him in the summer to keep delicate Di Maria company in Paris, we'll pay the shipping fee as a show of good will.
 
Should never even be close to playing a game for us when Shaw is back.

At least Blackett was okay on the ball despite being a fecking liability. Rojo is a fraud.
 
Are all Argentinian players amazingly thick or is it just the ones we sign?

He'd probably be better at centreback, but he's so bafflingly insane at fullback you don't really want to risk finding out.

How come LVG didn't like Rafael but plays people at fullback who are basically what Rafael would be like if you took away everything useful about him?
 
I am convinced LVG signed him mostly because of his left footedness.

His left foot right foot fetish first saw Blackett promoted undeservingly, then us going after Vermaelen strangely and then ending up with us signing Rojo on the fallback. (Also Blind CB is part of that.)

Thought the same last night during the game.

Pretty much any of our fullbacks van Gaal insist on playing are worse defensively than Rafael. Incredible how idiotic decisions he makes, just incredible. Yet many here are still happy we got rid of Rafael, despite having fecking Rojo and Darmian starting every week for us. Rafael is probably even better on the left than Rojo is.
 
This twit didn't even bother challenging Alderweild for the second goal. No freaking loss if he never plays another game for the club. We do have amazing luck with the Argentinians don't we?
 
Back when we had Evra Ferdinand and Vidic, a conceded goal would feel so unusual that I would analyse it and see where we went wrong

Now it just feels expected and normal, I don't even actually know what Rojo did or didn't do. It's all a bit meh at the moment. It's so difficult to really care when it's obvious the players don't

We have the second best defence in the league and our last two title seasons we let in 43 and 37 goals. We've only let in 30 now with 6 games to go so Evra, Ferdinand, and Vidic were letting in more goals than we currently are.

The point is, we scored so many then that the conceded goals that the conceded goals seemed rare by comparison. Whereas now they are not

Apples and Pears.
 
I used to like Rojo. He was the only player who seemed to genuinely enjoy the Cambridge away game and its more physical challenge last year. In hindsight maybe he enjoyed it so much because he'd found his level. I can't believe I'd ever advocate picking Ashley Young at left back over an Argentine international, yet here we are.
 
How about we let the boy mature and find his preferred place before shipping him away after he's only getting grips with the English game?? He's only 25y playing without a brake from the summers WC and thus having a season with multiple injuries..

Sometimes you just look at a player and think not in a million years. He's so out of place I can't ever imagine him being good enough.
