True, I have never heard a player so constantly have his fitness discussed. Great player when on form thoughHe's clearly fit. Just had a shocker tonight.
Fitness is not an excuse. He wasn't much better in the previous game.
He is overrated.
It is understandable why Sir Alex wasn't arsed whether Rooney stayed or left. Should have stayed injuried and not spurn our chances against Bayern.
Anyone have a gif of all his misses today? It looked bad at first taught, but maybe their was something I did not catch.

Because of one performance? When Rooney is on his way to be our all time top scorer? Nobody can have 2 world class strikers and keep both happy. Rooney fit is a world class striker. He wasn't fit today.He's on fecking painkillers to play this game. it was a dumb idea to play him
Complete and utter gash tonight.
It really is amazing just how shit he becomes when he misses a coupl days training.
Absolutely no idea why he was left on for the full game. Shouldn't have come out for the 2nd half.

Let his team down tonight, contributed nothing in a game where we could afford to carry nobody. Perhaps it's the injury, but he's been very poor.
Worst performance I've seen from a 'top' player in a while. Utterly gash.
My stream commentators said he took injections before the game to get through it. It's quite possible he was playing through the pain and the injured toe effected the way he hit the ball when finishing. Why Moyes thought he still deserved to play the whole game is another matter.
Shouldn't have played
Not fit? Just shit?
How unfit can you be that you can't put a ball in the net.
Shocking, just as he was in the first leg. Hernandez would've caused more problems tonight.
Just had a shocker. Shame really.
Beyond shite, and at the same time consistently praised by the commentators. Bizarre.
Should no way have lasted 90 minutes.

I'm sorry but when people turn this to an RvP>Rooney circlejerk it gets a bit ridiculous. van Persie has a bit of a record for not performing in Europe himself... Bar the Olympiakos game, of course.
Yeah that's right, I'm basing it on ine game.
I've never see Rooney or RVP play before actually
Might sound harsh, fit or unfit but he cost us today. First chance he was slow, didn't make a simple pass. The second opportunity, on a plate for him from Welbeck and he fluffed his lines. Awful performance.
Completely wasted that injection then.
Yeah, this has happened before. Rooney play after long injury or forced to play through injury. Never played a good game in those situations. Should've gone with other options
Complete and utter gash tonight.
It really is amazing just how shit he becomes when he misses a couple days training.

Why so much hate when he has a bad game though? Jesus there's some fecking spastics on this forum.
Shockingly poor tonight, cannot believe the decisions he was making on the pitch.
Woeful.
Dear Wayne..
That injury excuse is bullshit too. It's fairly obvious it was made up just so he could be rested without Moyes being accused of giving up on the league.
I agreed with resting him, I don't have a problem with that. But he's not getting away with that performance tonight because of an injury.

Shouldn't have played. If you have to inject someone to allow them to play, they shouldn't play. A fully fit Rooney could have made a difference, but a Rooney who is struggling to run and can't feel his foot is going to be a hindrance.
Very poor tonight in the final third. Nothing worse than a half fit Wayne Rooney, he becomes painful to watch.
"World class"
Moyes shouldn't have left him on, but Rooney shouldn't have been so awful. Moyes kowtowing to him is embarrassing. No man is bigger than Manchester United, except Rooney for Moyes.

IF he was injured, shouldn't have played... and he should have come off after about an hour.
The point where he got annoyed at Danny for passing him a ball - to his feet, in the box - was maddening.

What would you do, sell Rooney instead? And you're saying it like RVP has never missed a sitter in a big game before. Last season away to Real Madrid ring any bells? They're both world class players, but there's no room for both of them. And there's not much between them as much as Rooney's haters like to say he's shit.Yeah that's right, I'm basing it on ine game.

He was probably injured, otherwise it wouldn't make sense why he refused to shoot properly. Maybe shouldn't have played, hindsight
Who turned it into RVP v Rooney?
I simply said tonight showed how wrong people are about selling RVP.
He shouldn't have played. Sad to see him like that.
He will star in a few nothing games in the PL this season.
Paid like Messi, does not play like Messi.
The worst player with a world class tag. Not even top 20.

What would it take to sell Wayne Rooney?
If only our 300k a week player could score 2 sitters.
Calm down mate, I don't want to sell either.
Stop jumping to bizarre conclusions.
Fwiw, RVP was sensational in the game he missed a sitter.
