This gave me a real mindfeck before I realized you probably posted a different video 6 days ago.
 
Seems to be going on a bit of a goal scoring run at the moment. Hopefully he can continue it over the christmas/new years period
 
He's been terrible today. It's another example of his bottom level being terrible as opposed to simply being poor. When he's at his worst, his first touch and ability to pass or finish just seem to disappear.

It's annoying as well because over the past couple of months he'd been looking better. He'd seemed to regain his sharpness after his return and was gradually getting better, but then he goes and plays like he did today. Such a frustrating footballer to watch at times like this.
 
Awful performance. His touch and passing were ridiculously bad. I'm reminded of winter 2010 by what he showed today. Cak.
 
I remember when he first signed for us he said he loves to take people on. Today he took plenty on but I dont think he beat a single man.
 
So many great opportunites fell to him today too. So wasteful.

Does anyone remember when he could beat a man?
 
When he's at his bottom level I'm better at him than football.
 
He just had an off game today...shit happens!!

I'm more concerned about Valencia, he just seems so scared of taking on a defender what is worse his crossing is non existent.
 
On the bottle last night was he? Embarrassingly bad, and people say he still contributes when playing like this.
 
It was clear he was having another off game, should not have been on the pitch for 80 minutes.
 
We missed Rafael as well. He's been bailing Valencia's lack of creativity on the right out with his overlapping. Rooney. The less said, the better.

How do you go from tearing City a new one the 1 week, to looking so utterly disinterested and shit at football the next?

It's not just this off game though, him performing like this is a regular occurence. Fortunately it's not been the case as much really, but this today from him was nothing new. So frustrating when he doesn't play well.
 
I laughed when he came off because right when he took the free kick he turned around ready to come off, knowing how shit he was :lol:
Not to worried though, we all know when he has an off day how shit he can be, the important thing is to get right back in form the next game.
 
I don't think I will ever regard Rooney as a world class footballer He's just so inconsistent and can't even seem to get the basics right when not on form. He's really overrated by our fanatical just because he putative in a shift, but for a supposedly 'top player' he should be doing more.
 
Cost us 2 points today. Agree that that was the worst I've seen him play in a United shirt which is saying something.

This. Would have been better off with Welbeck today.
 
You guys sure know how to overreact. You all seem to veer from him being the best thing ever to shite.

It's just one game, it happens sometimes. Can't believe I'm the one defending Rooney considering some people have accused me of 'hating' him. :wenger:

I think you're going a bit over the top here. He may be inconsistent, but we can't forget that he has his fair share of brilliant spells as well and can be one of the league's best forwards at his very best.

Off days are inevitable but world class players shouldn't be this bad on an off day. World class players aren't this bad on an off day. Except Rooney it seems.
 
I think that is as bad as I've ever seen him play, would be surprised if he plays anything like that again he was truly awful.

This isn't a rare occurence. He's always this poor when he's at his worst and it's hardly the first time we've seen him play like this.
