It's pretty simple sentence.
He's playing better than most United players on the pitch.

I understand the words, but in that order it doesn't make sense (definitely not based on today's game).
I'd put only Smalling, Shaw and De Gea as being better today. Rest, definitely not.
EDIT: Actually, De Gea done nothing today.

He's been as awful as the rest of our team.
Worst performance of the season (for our entire team).

Enjoying his annual stroll at Goodison Park.
Don't think he's been rubbish actually. In the first half he did quite well. I think we play too much sideways when he plays deeper, which I don't like.
Walk it off!
What a warrior.

The usual Rooney at Goodison display. Actually he's been slightly better than previous years in that he's not given the ball away as much.
Hate him in the deeper role, have for years. He's not offering much up top at the minute either.
Blessing in disguise...
Mirallas did better as a sub than Roo in the whole game 
Injuries always are. YNW...ah, sorry. Forgot where I was.
His last decent game was Spurs? In really poor form.
Fecking shite he was. He is not a top level striker for me, his touch is so poor and his hold up play was non existent. Constantly beaten to the ball when it was played into him, we need a more dynamic striker up top than him, Falcao and RVP.
Silently dominated the game today. Can't wait for G Nevs analysis.
His form has dropped a fair bit the last few games. His status as captain and thus being immune from being dropped is an issue that will hinder us in the future.
Classy.
We desperately need a new striker. Rooney has alway been good in short bursts but he is past his best and only going to get worse over the next year or so, as RVP has.
I hope that injury is not too serious.
thought he had played well..missed his chance like others. well marked.
desperatley need him fit for the next 4 matches.
how bad is the knock?

did I hear he'd only scored 4 against Everton in the 11 years?
Say that's in 22-25 games (not sure how many cup games), that's pretty poor. I know he's missed a few games, injured/kept out of the abuse, but still.

hasn't put in a really good performance since the Spurs match
You'd expect more from him

He is going to be a hindrance going forwards but no one seems to see it.
I wonder if there's a striker in the world that would look good in the sole striker role in this system?
His touch and hold up play wasn't very good, but in a front 3 the 2 players left and right of him need to get much closer and they didn't all game, so he was isolated.
F all service.
Thing is, if you have little service, then you have to make the most of any situation where you have the ball/are affecting the play, and Rooney didn't do that... so yeah, pretty rubbish overall.
Seems to exist in this purgatory of too good to let go, but not good enough to truly reach the levels we need. Yet we persist, stuck in this long-term relationship that is not rewarding.
He's played at most 2 good games since he was moved as a striker. If Falcao or RVP would be putting in these kind of performances people would be asking for their heads.
He's done alright against tougher teams.

(lost somewhere one goal)
Was decent in the first half like most of the team.
Poor in the 2nd half like most of the team as well.

It would take a different kind of player, not one who is by nature more a '10' than a '9'.
Been saying all season that I think he needs to be improved upon, however I can't see it happening. I'm not even sure if there is any better on the market now, I just know that he's been left behind the great attacking players in the game today.
He's too easy to handle by defenders who themselves are not even all that, and I also don't think he has enough of a goal threat these days.

You presumably think RVP and Falcao are past it then? See I'm of the opinion that both still have a lot to offer and would look different players in a team firing on full cylinders playing a system that plays to their strengths. I don't think Falcao will ever work here, but RVP has potential as he's not had a chance when we've been playing well.
He was fine in the first half. Poor the second, like the whole team.
If I never have to witness that pass out wide to Valencia ever again I'll be a happy man.
