Just like the first game, looks off pace.

He's not alone in performing badly tonight but by god, he's a shadow of his former self.
If I ever read about his 'ability to play anywhere' one more time I'll crack up. Currently his ability can barely justify being a limited target man, never mind a no.10, second striker, midfielder or whatever the hell position some people wish to see him in.
Some of the touches in this first half have been absolutely criminal. I mean it's ridiculous to think of the wages he gets and he's playing like a pub-player.

Played like he's still on holiday. His touch is heavier than an elephant too.
I don't think he's been anywhere near the ball to be judged as bad.
Depay looks like some guy plucked from the park rather than a top division league.
falls over, physically weak, and that horrible sight of putting them on their weaker foot wing.hate that

Take him off for Hernandez, he's just holding us back.
Oh come on. He's slowing everything that goes through him. He's terrible!

Worst player on the pitch.
Wake up Wayne
He is a handicap, specially when he doesn't stay up front and wants to touch the ball.
The idea of playing with ten men instead of having Rooney on the pitch is something we should entertain.
; )
; )
He's been absolutely rubbish.
Passenger. He doesn't look match fit.
He's a liability in this team now.
What an absolute waste of space. Yet he can't possibly be dropped. Hernandez would offer more. RVP, despite being poor last season, at least could control the ball and pass it to the right man.
He's a bench striker at best. He breaks down all the attacks when you pass to him. Sick of the sight of him.

Space jam'd
Dropping deep. No pressure on the defence. Non existent touch. fecking awful.
20 goals 
what an absolute dire performance. Van Gaal should have the balls to drop him and send him to the reserves.
He is deteriorating very very fast. Has no first touch, no awareness of what Memphis is doing, just chugging along. Do not want him at United anymore.

I'm normally a Rooney fan, but since pre season started he has been absolutely terrible.
There is zero to praise him for.

Is it a confidence thing or a fitness thing or both?
He's been awful so far

If we have serious ambitions to win stuff we can't be having performances like that, ofcourse its early season and Rooney notoriously takes a while to get going but that was dire stuff.
swap him for Robbie Keane..pretty sure even woody cant sell that
I think he's got a thankless task upfront. But my gosh, he's not getting his basics right.
What's the betting he scores this half and nothing gets said in the press about that 45 mins tomorrow though...
EVEN G Nev pulled him up on it

His technique has never been consistent so it's not a surprise to see him miscontrolling the ball but physically he looks to have gotten worse than ever.
Overpaid fat shit.
So bad. That is all.
Lool. This guy will never win us the league as the main man. Never has never will.
His one man war against the art of the first touch continues apace.
The funny thing is people will still keep defending him week after week because he's close to Bobby's record. feck records, I want a consistent goalscorer.
Who would think that this is a man who is going to be our all time leading scorer. Some great respect being shown for him.
The thought of Wayne Rooney as being the pivot point for our goals tally this season is worrying to say the least. We'll be relying on goals from midfield again this season.
He's dreadful, he always bloody is. He puts in five great performances all season and fans start going on about how he's world class.
The pressure is seriously on him this season. He should and probably will improve but so far he's been absolutely wank.
Both. He looks off pace but his touch always turns to shit when he goes through lean patches. He needs a goal. We need another striker.
It's alright he'll put in a great performance in a few weeks and score 2-3 and everyone will be saying he's back and was just lacking the service. Either that or saying obviously he's playing poorly he's been playing out of position; he's a *insert any other position he isn't currently occupying*.
If there's one thing guaranteed with Rooney is that he'll have 20 terrible games a season. That's been the case for 4~ years now, let's just hope he'll get them out of the way early and he won't cost us.

We are going to have to carry him over that Bobby Charlton line.. At this rate he wont get there anytime soon.
This. I wish he just stayed up front.
Like the guys are saying, Juan Mata is much more of a threat when centrally. Sooner we sign Pedro the better.
I reckon it would be a pretty important if he can score today
Get him up and running
He was very poor indeed

That tells you he isn't a natural striker sadly. He wants to be involved way too much, if only he had the touch to match that will.
