he holds us back majorly, and we should of got rid when ferguson wanted too.
how can anyone defend him? do the people who thought he'd score 20 goals in the league honestly still think that?

Agreed. Pippo Inzaghi springs to mind as a modern day Gary Lineker. Nobody cares where you score from as long as you score.
You say that about Richards as if he's a flimsy pussyhole.
He's a man mountain!
I get what you're saying though!
Means f all. That was then, this is now. He's been like this for the last few seasons.
how many goals do you think Lineker would get in these performances?
we had 3 shots on goal!
we have the handbrake on at the moment though.
I think this answer your question
The Sun Dream Team has just given Rooney Star man!
I hope he does improve, very disappointing performance tonight and it's in danger of forming a pattern. He can't get away with this for long or we're fecked
Nobody is questioning his career; people are (rightly) questioning the wisdom of relying on him as our primary attacking threat this season.
If you want to bring up records, we might as well bring out Sir Bobby out of retirement..He isnt up to much either this days, and would give us the same quality of perfomances..perhaps even more heart
Villa's best player
We wouldn't be after Pedro if we really thought he'd get 20 + goals this season

I'm actually beginning to agree with the posters, as ridiculous as it is, who say there may be a certain clause in his contract that makes him undroppable in some sense. How was he not subbed today after comfortably being the worst player on the pitch?
Poor performance. Needs to get going asap.
But LvG does say his captain shall always play... I fear that it would take another 3 months of complete garbage performances before LvG goes back on those words.. So far, it's looking like LvG really shot himself in the foot by making Rooney his captain.
What on earth does that have to do with how he's playing now?
Going by stats, Liverpool are still one of the best clubs in the League.
You see how that works?
I think this answer your question
It is weird that he doesn't criticized. Better players get it with less horrible performances.
Silent dominationThe Sun Dream Team has just given Rooney Star man!
I see your point. Van Gaal is obviously telling him to misplace those passes and lose possession constantly because of a poor first touch. Silly me.
Personally, I'm not someone who uses that term too often because no one can seem to agree what it actually means, but it does annoy me when I hear people like Ian Wright on 606 telling us Rooney is 'world class' because he's been at United for 10 years. So what? Would he get into the best teams in Europe? Not a chance these days, whereas 5 years ago he would have for sure.
I gave him 4 and that's generous.
I Know.
Bring back RvN ffs.Of course it means nothing. Just like Charlton's goals mean nothing, Law's goals mean nothing..... In fact, who cares that we've won this, that and the other - let's all just call him a fat cnut and not show our respect to someone who has contributed greatly to our history. Of course all that history means nothing as it is in the past and not today.
As I said in an earlier post, we need him to stay up top when he is our main striker but he is too used to coming into midfield to get involved in play, but it's detrimental to the team right now. If we have someone up top stretching their defence then there is more room for our wingers and midfielders to play.
Only player I've got nothing to say about tonight. Mainly because I can't remember a single thing he did.
Hopefully we will go all out for a top striker now - inept. Could be a blessing in disguise.
No defending him tonight, although I'll try with this. We've still yet to see any striker play well under LvG. There's probably better times to rip into your forward than after two consecutive 1-0 wins as well.
Well, yeah. But Rooney is supposed to be the leading striker here.
You reckon Newcastle fans would still want Shearer starting for them?
Liverpool are still one of the best clubs in the league though. Are they not? If Liverpool are not one of the best clubs in the league then the entire pyramid of English football is nothing at all.
Does not deserve to start the next game. Simple as that. Captain or not, he's a liability.
They currently aren't.
Finished at the top level, finished.
Barring one 2nd place finish, they have ended the season outside of Top 4 in the last 7-8 years.
Sign Lewandowski.
Sell him.
Are you serious? There is no post that better proves that his fan boys are simply confirming the fact that he is a player living off reputation. Don't care how many goals he's got in the past. He's been utter shit for a while now and people just keep repeatedly posting his goal stats. Even when he's in scoring form, it doesn't change the fact the rest of his game has fallen to shit. There's more to the modern striker than getting goals, believe it or not and Rooney is not doing either right now.
Is it Rooney or the system that is preventing him from playing well? He looked just like Falcao did last season today.
You reckon he deserves all the shit he is getting? He will still be our top scorer this season, Shearer won't be Newcastle's top scorer if he was playing, would he? Your argument doesn't quite work.
