Good game by Wazza, scored a superb goal and played a large part in us getting a third one.
 
If I hear any more Rooney baters I'll go mad. No he doesn't always play brilliantly during a game all the time, but you keep him on for the reasons he proved...a bloody great goal and determination to win the ball to feed Mata. For me, he is the heart of our team...with his work rate, determination and that never want to lose attitude. He's United through and through, regardless of falling out with Fergie...not as though others haven't. He has dedicated his whole bleeding career to us..that has to say something.
 
What a goal that was. Was poor before the goal but much better afterwards. Typical Rooney. :lol:
 
I very nearly posted about five minutes before his goal that he'd been sloppy and poor and it'd be typical of him to score a screamer like the overhead v City. Glad I didn't say anything and jinx it :)
 
'Get Falcao on for him'

Not the biggest fan of Rooney myself but people are off their tits with statements like this, great taken goal, needs to sort his shit out when things don't go his way though, he should be the leader on the pitch and not sulking for whole half after a pen's not given (although ref's been incredibly frustrating, yes).
 
I probably rated him too highly on today's game reading through the thread. Only saw the second half and he seemed fine enough to me. Some heavy touches at times though.
 
I thought that he was awful before the goal, but what a strike! The man is a genius. Played better after he dropped deeper to Fellaini's position. Again, the strikers dilemma?
 
Was crap the entire game, then scored a brilliant goal that won it and created the chance practically all by himself to seal it.

Edit: And drew a penalty and red card at the beginning that never was.

I just don't understand why people aren't a fan of Rooney, apart from the problems he had with Fergie. He doesn't always produce brilliantly throughout a game, but then again, nor do loads of the players. But I would always keep him on...no matter what. Because invariably he produces that one piece of magic that can change a game, plus he never really gives up. He's given his whole career to us....
 
Looked much better when Falcao came on and he was moved behind the striker. Fantastic goal and determination for the third!
 
The goals against Newcastle and the 3rd today are something only Rooney in our squad can cause. His enthusiasm and work rate even at the end of games in invaluable. People get frustrated at him showing his frustration on the pitch or "not being a leader" and needing to calm down but that determination for the 3rd goal was because he felt aggrieved and angry over the drop ball.
 
Average performance but a great goal and made an important contribution for our third goal.
 
Wanted Falcao to replace him around 60th, to give Falcao a bit of responsibility and sit his ass down after a thoroughly average performance but then he pulled off that beauty of a goal plus the hockey assist to Herrera's second.
 
Worked hard as always and scored a cracker, but trying to deny that he couldn't get the ball to stick at all during the first half seems weird to me.
 
Typical Rooney. Bitty performance and then scores a banger!

Considering how impotent our strikers have been at times this season, I'll have that.
 
I was disappointed with him, to be honest. Yes, he was ripped off of a penalty but he was seething long after that and it was hurting his performance. You need to be better than that as captain. Goal, though, was undeniably great.
 
One of these players has only played 37% of his league games as a striker, compared to 100% of the other two:

2 of those players played in an imbalanced side with 3 at the back and Rooney in midfield. Falcao's such a better assister than Rooney did you know.

What site/app is that by the way?
 
He was awful today, first touch of a rhino. Clearly affected by not getting the penalty and let it get into his head the whole game.

What a goal though.

It's Squawka's comparison matrix.

But yeah, 2 of those players did play in an 'unbalanced' side. Part of that imbalance was down to the fact that the two of them were about as threatening as a soggy lettuce up front, and their lethargy made us look blunt, despite all of our possession.

Since Rooney went back up top, he's looked a much greater threat as an individual, and as a team we're producing our best form of the season.

Probably not a coincidence.
