I agree with this.
I was about to say at least he didn't do anything good or bad in the second half, a good solid neutral performance but then he lost possession by dithering near the end. Not his worst performance today though and probably not the worst on the pitch today either. That is some high praise
He wasn't the worst player on the pitch. #improvement
We need to hide him away in the red zone
Only if he would do that better than Young or Lingard.
Think he was helped today by everyone else being rubbish too.
Van Persie actually won us games and points last season.
Really poor and as long as LVG plays him there won't be an improvement at all.
He's also not getting close to that 25 goals

You need to be able to play in tight spaces in this system. He is shocking in tight spaces. There are times when the ball is passed into him on the ground and he takes a yard touch in the air.
What I thought as well
He is simply not good enough to play as number 9 though. If LVG is desperate to have him in the team, just drop Herrera and play Rooney behind Martial. Persisting with this is just madness.
A turd that won't flush.
Yes, his crossing from deep is far better than either player.
Lingard really should be playing from the left, if he plays.
90 minutes again... Fecking con artist. He could score five own goals and say something mean about van Gaal's mum in the post match interview and he'd still be the first name on the team sheet next weekend.
Nobody is bigger than the club, not even Busby, Fergie, Charlton, Law or Best...
...unless your name is Wayne Rooney.
What a nightmare this is becoming. I'm still hoping he is given until Christmas to prove himself, then he's fecked off and he can eat himself into oblivion.

Man, i miss the old Rooney
It was games like these he would just say feck it and do something incredible on his own.

I know what you mean - actually makes my blood boil every time i see him
Time has come. Fans need to turn on him like we did to get rid of Cleverley and Gibson. Sad but its either that or watch him continue to ruin our side
Wasnt the worst player out there. But thats not saying much
Mother Theresa would have thought he was beyond help by this stage.
Desperately needs a "rest".
Wish he'd get injured. I can't see any other way to get rid of him out of the team for a while.
Seriously, I'm super puzzled why LVG is persisting with him, it is the greatest mystery. If it's not in his contract, and it's not a marketing thing, then what the feck is going on? Is he in love with Rooney?

Funny thing is that he is so untouchable that he's not even being substituted while playing poorly. We always make substititions taking off players around him - Mata, Herrera etc. - but never him.
He deserves a medal for that, our Scouse captain marvel.
Rooney is clearly our weakest link but yet he keeps starting every game. All the blame is on van Gaal.
That's disgusting, fans don't need to do this..LVG is the man in charge and the man who keeps picking him, yet you want all the fans to turn on any players out of form or you don't like?

Funnily we played better football without him
A rest from now until eternity should be fine.
I love Fergie for dropping him back then. Spineless cnuts Moyes and LvG are.
That's obviously what is fueling the 'contract says he must play' stuff. Van Gaal can't even argue, "Well sure, you know Wayne can get you a goal! I can't sub him." Erm...no he doesn't get us goals Louis, he doesn't give us anything.
Hadn't realised just how slow he is now before today. His pace isn't really highlighted in a short passing possession game, but today we were a bit more speculative, and seeing him chase long passes was painful. Not just slow to move, but slow to react as well.
I actually thought he looked half-decent for much of the first half. And it just went downhill after that. His first touch became...OMG
At least be a good captain Rooney and invent an injury. Don't ruin the season for your team mates
Seriously, he must have some clause or the other - there's got to be something there. Irrespective if there is, Louis needs to say feck it and do the right thing.
It's crazy, not even to sub him? Is Louis trying to make a point or something? Puzzling as all hell.
Martial hasn't beaten two players and smashed the ball in off Rooneys knee for weeks now.
it's poor from Martial.

LvG needs to take the blame here.
If it is a contract thing which was hinted at months ago then our club is a disgrace as we have always said that nobody is bigger than the club.
Starting Rooney every match goes against everything our club is about. Sick of it.

Thought he was decent for his standards actually. He's just pretty shite now. He needs a prolonged run on the bench, and then use him as a sub if we need a goal or to help see out games. Just under no condition should he be starting right now.
I feel he is in the Red-Zone.
I'm not Rooney's biggest fan but I don't blame him for the team's current goal-scoring problems. Yes he's playing badly, but all the blame for that lies squarely with the manager for me - either drop him or else change the tactics. This continually playing him and refusing to sub him clearly isn't working and van Gaal needs to try something different.
