It is like beating a dead horse in my critique of his performances. Their is not much else to say. The only thing we can do is hope he finds some form or our team figures a way to win games with 10 men.
Sadly that's precisely what we'll have to do...On the bright side, at least we'll get lots of practice playing 10 only - helps if someone gets a red..
 
I gave him a 1. He's useless now. Have mercy on my wearied soul and get rid of this guy.
 



I think Memphis was worse than him tonight but he looks like he's regressed so much, and he's not even been injured for a while so I have to wonder how long can he survive...

dunno if it helps but if it's not Rooney who barely gets cards these days which sums up his mature performances, than we are at 9 men and Roo playing midfield
 
We were shit without him and equally as shit with him. Everyone will blame Rooney but the whole team were shit from start to finish.
 
Same, I think this is the first time I ever gave someone a 1 in the match ratings :lol:

I've never been able to justify giving a player a 1 before, but Rooney actually fully earned it tonight. I've wanted to all season but he's always put in a defensive shift or made a deft touch to create a chance which has always dragged his performance up to a 4/5, but tonight he actually helped the opposition.
 
How many different ways can you say the same thing?

He's finished, he's absolutely terrible, he is a massive burden to the team and Van Gaal should be having serious questions asked about him for why he keeps playing him.

It's a fecking mess.
 
If you watch some of his past videos, it's quite incredible how much of a shadow he is of his former self. He has absolutely no dynamism left in those legs. It looks like he's wearing a 50 pound armor whilst playing.

It's absolute lunacy playing Martial out of position for him. Everytime Martial gets the ball he holds it up, turns and creates. If this one, and it's a big if, manages to control it, it's going only one way, and that's backwards. If he gets his mythical touch back, it's still not enough for me as he is a negative player these days. There isn't a creative thought in him, he's got two learnt moves, the long range chip and the floating ball to the right wing, he is just so laughably predictable and easy to play against.

He's become an institution at United, too big for us with absolutely nothing to back that status up, except for stats that count for nothing in the present. I've been pro LVG, very much so, but this Rooney situation is tipping me over, he must have misunderstood the Rooney rule, it's not mandatory for every starting line-up to have one.

That's what marriage and three kids does to you at the age of 30. He has no desire left in his entire being. He will achieve nothing more because he has lost the hunger for it.

But he's the captain :rolleyes: - he should be leading

That's understandable. But then he needs to feck off and leave the hungrier and more motivated players to get on with it.. It's wrong for him to hinder the progress of others.
Unfortunately I don't think he will see it that way, not with his ego.
Looks like someone in semi-retirement acting like a statesman - this sort of attitude doesn't win you matches.

:lol: He probably overheard something about it and asked Wayne to explain it to him.

He can't exactly walk out or quit the club, why would he? Would you if you were on his money?

This is all on LVG for me. He has to bench him ASAP. The longer this continues, the more pressure it is going to put on Rooney, himself and the club.
 
It's actually extremely frustrating knowing there are so much better players who have to make way for this has-been. LVG is giving away points at this rate, forget the title we'll be lucky to secure top four with this rubbish.
 
He's half of the players he used to be. It's sad to witness his decline. In this form I can see him as a back up for Herrera and maybe Martial, that's about it. Time will tell what LvG has in his mind.
 
It's big Mike going to give an interview on MUTV, should be Rooney but it never is when we lose. He only wants to speak if we win.
Why am I not surprised? Couldn't wait to take the armband off Carrick but now when he should front up to the media he doesn't want to know. Great. I hope the lads put aside their 'support' of him and realise that the club is paying them a hell of a lot to win matches and they won't be if they don't say something about the Rooney situation. It will totally ruin our season if we carry on with him like this.
 
He'll start at Palace, he'll be absolute shit, we'll all come on here and talk about how shit he was and then next game he'll be the first name on the team sheet.

It's the circle of life.
 
Every time he gets the ball, his touch takes him about 6 yards backwards. Killing attacks. If LVG is going to persist with this shite, he should resign.
