Poor ball from martial. No need to hit it that far in front, even a straight pass to his feet would have done.

True. Abysmal Martial is preventing Rooney from being good. Yet another idiot holding Wayne back.
 
He is dropping too deep, he is supposed to be leading the line, when we get the ball he is not in the box.

With hindsight, it's kinda fecked that Louis let Welbeck go. Not that Danny has set the world alight at Arsenal, but he would certainly suit this style a lot better, whether he'd be played up front or on the left. Pace, energy and works for the team.

yeah I thought that was strange he fits Lvg system quite well. We could do with someone like welbeck in the team now tbh

I don't actually think he has had that bad a game, but the chance he got was poor from him, looks very leggy. Also again dropping too deep, far too often

I don't think he's been that bad in general play in a lot of games but he's clearly not physically capable of performing as a #9 and in a possession-based team he's a liability at #10. He doesn't fit in anywhere any more.
 
I don't think he is finished but he needs to be dropped. He needs to come of the bench for a few games and try and make an impact then, he's just taking up a space in the team atm, while do nothing.

I agree
 
I missed the first half. Is it safe to say people would want him off for Young and Martial through the middle? That's how I would've started
 
Not the worst player on the pitch but he's offered nothing. Whenever he receives the ball, his first instinct tells him to pass it back. It's so embarassing
 
I hate him now... Sounds strong but i really do. Have never felt this way about one of our own before.
 
Sometimes I wonder if there's a clause in his contract that stipulates he'll always play when fit. I remember hearing something similar to that about the captaincy.
 
The lad needs a break from the team, he's holding us back at the mo. Its not like we dont have a replacement.
 
It's actually a joke how he's still playing.
 
That sequence at the top of the box where he literally just fell down while deciding what to do with the ball. I feel like comic book guy on the Simpsons logging on the internet to register my disgust.

'Hate' is a bit of a strong word, but I know where you're coming from. I feel the same, he's our only player I dislike and I'd cherish the day he finally fecks off.

Sounds pathetic I know, I lost affection for him when he went through the whole contract issue questioning the desire of the club. Add that to his awful game now and I really can't stand the guy.

I understand you because I'm feeling exactly the same.

That was painful to watch. Took so long to make a decision, and didn't make it anyway.
 
He has to be dropped, maybe it will be the kick up the backside he needs. Awful again today
 
Sometimes you need to let players play their way into form, but other times a player doing badly just hits their confidence more and more. Rooney's confidence looks shot to me. He's taking 4 or 5 touches before deciding what to do, at which point every one of our players is covered by a defender or he get's tackled.

I dont blame players for being out of form, but I think LVG is doing worse than hurting the team playing Rooney, I think he's really hurting the player.
 
I've been all over his back recently but not for today. Our problems seem to run a lot deeper.
 
The decent cross followed by that stumble and fall attempt at a dribble sums him up at this point, odd good moments here and there followed by utter shittery.
 
He actually played well for me by the standard I believe he's now in. Problem is that I believe his top level is very, very mediocre and he offers us nothing an average joe in the Premier League would do.
His pace is gone, can't turn a man, that's simply unacceptable for a player in our front four.
