just took a look at this video posted in this thread: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/are...ting-moves-from-a-stationary-position.412906/
fast forward to 3:40. that's what we're paying him 300k/week for.
Louis van Gaal could have signed a better striker and put Rooney on the bench after dozens of disgraceful performances. He made him the captain himself as well.There was an attempt at a counter during the game in the second half. Mata was running at their defense and the Norwich players were struggling to get into position. Instead of Rooney, who was ahead of Mata at the time to continue running to create an angle for a through ball, our captain came short. We can blame Van Gaal all we like about the state of our attack but how does a team expect to score when the striker makes a decision like that?
Roy Hodgson said:The most important thing for him as far as I'm concerned is that he's got to keep playing well for Manchester United, playing well for England when we have our games together and that he still leads by example on the field. It doesn't matter how much good work he can do for us off the field in terms of being some sort of a mentor for the younger players. We really need him being Wayne Rooney on the field scoring goals, making goals and with his drive and commitment leading us forward.

Is this the first hint from Hodgson that Rooney's place is under threat for Euro 2016?

Most probably rested for Chelsea, like Morgan and Bastian.Is he dropped or just rested for the Chelsea game? got a feeling he will start against Chelsea regardless.
Not buying the he's being rested excuse. In a game you say is a must win, you play your captain. He has been dropped.
We will either beat Stoke without him, in that case it would be extremely harsh to take anyone out of the team to fit Rooney in. Or we fail to beat them in which case LvG is probably gone.Is he dropped or just rested for the Chelsea game? got a feeling he will start against Chelsea regardless.
