Its comical. You can see he's programmed to look out wide. I dont know why the feck he's trying to be the playmaker when we have 2 of them on the pitch.

Awful performance, I would take him off, but I don't think Moyes will do it. All the "It's a new Rooney, Moyes get the best out of him" was just wrong, it's the same old Rooney we seeing every year. World class on one day, shocking on the next.
He'll get praised when he's good but when he's really shit like in the first half then he'll be criticized.
Sorry for Rooney fans. I hope Moyes has some balls to bench Rooney before it's too late. He's not playing good at all today. And I can't believe we pay him for 250k per week
He ruined pretty much our every decent move by making awful decisions(mostly passing it diagonally to the right).
There was that period where he kept passing the the ball to Everton plaayers and we kept winning it(three times in a row), and eventually the won it and caught us on break and won that penalty. Someone gif that please.
Btw he can't play as lone striker like this, he isn't even trying to run behind the defence. It's really strange with him, when he is playing behind the striker he plays to high up the pitch, but when he is alone he drops to deep.

You are an idiot.
Needs to come off for Welbeck. But there's essentially no chance of Moyes making that change.
Nothing can be said about Mata - he's Spanish.
Sorry-meant the pen.
Imagine if Rooney had done that..
Well I can't stand him either. He's a cnut.
Oh so now the penalty is Rooneys fault.. you're all mad.
He's playing like a pub player who downed a few pints before the game.
Can't sub him off though cos he scored a great goal against City once after being shit all game.

CAF meltdown
I expect to suffer through this performance for the full 90. 300/week, brilliant.
There was about 90 metres and 16 players between Rooney's intercepted pass, and Jones conceding the penalty. Conclusion: it's the centre forward's fault!
Would love to see him get a goal or two now, just to shut half of these scapegoating haterz up.
When he plays like this, it's difficult to watch. He's meant to be the man we look to for goals in games like this. None of the other three attackers have been brilliant but they are struggling to connect with Rooney. And the obvious passes he has ignored on 2 or 3 occasions in dangerous areas have underlined our woeful attacking play.
I'll always prefer van Persie as the man to lead the line for us. And I'm not one of the people who changes my mind game to game...I'll always maintain that when fit he is the one. Obviously that can't be helped today, but I do not like Wayne Rooney as our main forward in these types of games.

Fergie should have sold him before handing over to Moyes.
This is the worst I've seen him play for a while...
Even if he scores five goals it won't change our opinions of him being shit in the first half.
He's not on 300k a week. Pretty sure his new contract isn't actually that different from his old one directly from the club, it's more added on because of sponsors. Though that doesn't suit the agenda people have against him so nobody will mention it.
Yeah that's the reason.
Seriously, though. Why hasn't the Juan Mata thread been opened since the games started? He's been robbed in possession of the ball a few times today. I guess it the lack of movement up top, though.
I actually feel sorry for Mata. Everyone looks to him to unlock something but he can't do it all alone. There's no movement ahead and he's having to come deep as no one is carrying it forward.
Players like Mata and Kagawa are very different to the likes of say a Hazard. They need a team around them, some movement. It isnt happening atm.
Mata is looking for those Hernandez runs he had against Newcastle. Having Rooney on his toes asking for the ball isnt helping at all. 
Hernandez in 25 seconds has shown more than Rooney has done in 60+ min.
We should just take him off and play with 10 men.
Hernandez isn't on £300k a week and demand to be captain and play as a number 9 and 10.
He's always been this way. His highs are world class, his lows are pub standard.
Absolute rubbish today. Plays another 90 mins. No surprise there
Classic Rooney really.
Fantastic form boarding on world class, gets injured and looks like a league one striker.

Blah blah I've seen all your posts your just a Rooney hater.
he's been rubbish. He was played as a centreforward but spent most of the game nowhere near the box
Blah blah? That's your defence of Rooney?
I cant be asked against biased posters like you I'd be wasting my time.
Was pretty visible setting up Rooney for the second in the box chance Rooney's messed up today
It's not the fact he's been poor that's annoying, it's more the fact that he's got this protective glass around him with his new contract and Moyes generally pandering to whatever he wants. That's the sort of stuff you only think about doing at big clubs with players on the very, very top level, such as Ronaldo and Messi. Performances like today show he's not deserving of being held above everyone else on a pedestal. He's a superb footballer overall and a great player to have, but Moyes is turning him into someone who's bigger than the club when that should just not be the case with him.
