I'd prefer Smalling up front.I honestly don't think we'd be any worse if we played Phil Jones up front. He needs dropped.

Get stats of other attackers from the same game and compare it then. He was not as bad as people are making him out to be. Like I said, if people are considering more than just this game I understand but this game alone wasn't that bad.
Yes. I so desperately want him to go on a smashing run to prove all of us wrong but there is zero reason right now to play him as a forward ahead of Martial. LVG needs to man up and drop himreally needs to be dropped or injured, think he could do with some time out and the team needs it even more.

Doesn't matter
I agree in general he has been poor and going forward today he didn't offer much, but he still helped his side a lot today and deserves more than 4/10
He used to be a striker before he was a defender no?I'd prefer Smalling up front.
Playing with Rooney is like trying to have sex without a cock. You keep thrusting, but nothing's going in.
It was a bad game, though. He just offered absolutely nothing in attack. For one, Martial offered a lot more than Rooney. Mata and Herrera also had quiet games, but I don't understand how this is being perceived as a decent attacking performance from Rooney by some people when he was sloppy on the ball, created nothing, and regularly slowed down our play.
Should have been a pen according to some concerning the newcastle game.Probably won us a point by disrupting Otamendi's chance.
I never used the words "decent" and I don't think it was acceptable but it wasn't half as bad as people are making it out to be: Finished, should retire etc. I also think he should be rested (genuinely rested. I think he needs a good rest). Martial obviously offered more than Rooney; he offered more than anyone else on the pitch so I don't see why it matters that much here.
So yes. He first touch was kind of off and didn't create much but neither did any of our other attacking players. Still not satisfied but you guys are just going OTT and there's a reason the experts aren't criticizing him the the way you lot are.
I would rather spunk 50 million on Jamie vardy in January than have Rooney start upfront for us ever again.
Again, Martial did.
The two players who didn't offer much were Mata and Herrera. Both of whom you could argue had poor games. So, if that's the level Rooney was at then, well, he had a poor game.
The expert thing has been discussed quite a lot, and there's a general feeling that a lot of experts are quite reluctant to criticise Rooney considering their own association with him.
OMG.Playing with Rooney is like trying to have sex without a cock. You keep thrusting, but nothing's going in.
He's not entirely wrong.All right calm down![]()
The problem is that his ok form is about the best we can expect from him these days, and that's nowhere near enough.He had an okay game. Wasn't as terrible as some of you guys are making it to be.
He even got criticized for not being able to shoot that last shot. Ridiculous. But I guess all the experts have some agenda and wont criticize Rooney because he's English and what not. Only you lot can see he is "finished".

Yeah you're right, he's been on fire as of late.Ermm just last week he had a pretty decent game against Everton I believe.
