Some little shit hacked my account and posted that drivel.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Is Rooney going to take over Cleverleys job of being the whipping boy?

He looks well up to the task so far.

Sticking out like a sore thumb out there. Giving the ball away, slowing play down....

Assist and goal in 45 minutes you numbnuts

 

[Nighteyes]

He's been very good today, what slowing the play down? Are you high?

 

[Stack]

Assist and goal in 45 minutes you numbnuts

it was a question to the haters, not a statement numbnuts

. . . scoring goals, assisting goals - like he always does.

 

[Melvyn]

Draws level with Thierry Henry for goals scored in EPL on 175.

Actually, 160 for Rooney.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Forgot he played for that one other club.

 

[wr8_utd]

A goal and assist and an overall decent 45 mins. Imagine if Rooney was actually a half decent player?

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Was it..

 

[Jagga7]

I thought he was pretty poor. Gave the ball away a few times and touch goes everywhere at times. Great finish though, he will always score goals.

 

[Stack]

Was it..

good grief….

 

[Randall Flagg]

Take away the goal and assist and I agree he has still played well today.

He is going to need a very special season to get the haters off his back

 

[prateik]

392 passes in the first half?
Not bad

 

[wr8_utd]

I thought he was pretty poor. Gave the ball away a few times and touch goes everywhere at times. Great finish though, he will always score goals.

Even Adm has given the ball sometimes. That's all right because he's still contributing to our attacking play and is getting the numbers as well.

Seriously, what game do some of you watch?

 

[FromTheBench]

He's winning the battle to not be replaced by Falcao by a distance with RVP.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

The I hate Rooney no matter what he does game. Glad he is proving them all wrong.

He plays in a position where players are more likely to give the ball away

A goal and assist and an overall decent 45 mins. Imagine if Rooney was actually a half decent player?

Imagine if he at least showed up for first three games of the season.

 

[The Man Himself]

Imagine if he at least showed up for first three games of the season.

You mean just like others players of ours who played in first 3 games?


*waiting for the 300k/week wage argument* *yawning*

 

[Bobcat]

Rooney confuses me. At times he can look like a Sunday League player and do the simplest things wrong, then he goes ahead and delivers some moments of pure brilliance like this

 

[wr8_utd]

That pass to Valencia was sumptuous.

 

[kouroux]

That pass to Valencia was sumptuous.

It was and the most important thing was it was timed well, at a moment where it was need to switch flanks. I don't like it when he does it and there are better passing options next to him but that one was spot on.

 

[Siorac]

That pass to Valencia was sumptuous.

A shame about who the recipient was.

 

[acnumber9]

Definitely his best game of the season so far. In fact I'd say our whole attack had their best games so far.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

That pass to Valencia was sumptuous.

Can't believe just how fecking good that looked.

*waiting for the 300k/week wage argument* *yawning*

You'll not get the 300k/w argument, but you'll get an argument that he is apparently our best player, so he should be playing much better than the likes of Young, Fletcher and Valencia.

 

[Nighteyes]

He only made that pass 3 times today. A good indicator that when we play with pace and create more space, there's no need to play that pass anymore.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Well, he does, doesn't he?

 

[kouroux]

He only made that pass 3 times today. A good indicator that when we play with pace and create more space, there's no need to play that pass anymore.

That pass is beautiful to watch for sure but it's even better when the play warrants it indeed. Rooney has often this tendency to look for Valencia when he could keep it simple.

 

[saivet]

Good performance from Rooney, keep him up top and he'll continue to score.

 

[Elliott]

He's shit. And stuff.

 

[Sam]

Fair fecks to Wayne, he was very good today. Very good indeed.

 

[NessunDorma]

Got the best set of players around him for any period since 2008/9. No surprise that he'll start to look better himself.

 

[The Man Himself]

You'll not get the 300k/w argument, but you'll get an argument that he is apparently our best player, so he should be playing much better than the likes of Young, Fletcher and Valencia.

Well, obviously he has to improve on those early games performances but same can be said of most. Let's forget likes of Young and Valencia but Mata was no better. RvP can hide behind playing no games in pre-season but he hasn't been any good. In fact, has been worst. So, my point simply is, don't single out Rooney. He is among our best players, not the best. How well they all do and compliment each other and cover up for each other during an individual's bad day will determine where we finish.

I didn't single him out, it was just response to wr's "he is average player" or whatever, since people were right to call him average basing on those performances.

 

[Globule]

That pass to Valencia was almost as sweet as as Herrera's goal. It was the second sexiest thing we did on the pitch today, after Di Maria's pass to RvP and just ahead of the referee falling on his arse.

Shame it was to Valencia and not Januzaj or Di Maria.

 

[Kag]

Very good game. I'm a frequent critic of his game, but his finishing is just incredible. He doesn't get enough credit for that.

 

[thepolice123]

Very good finish today. Rio probably he'd give his old buddy a chance to score by not closing him down.

 

[Cheesy]

Hopefully he can start to find his groove again and perhaps find some of his best form. Really positive signs today since I was concerned he really wasn't going to perform this season, but LVG's faith in him may reap some benefits.
