Oh my God Louis!!! 'Fat man there'
My sentiments too. Put a couple pass the scousers and I'll beFair play to him. Finally, a genuinely good performance from him. Hope he keeps it up.

he scored a winner at anfield in a 1-0 win... like 10 years ago.Has he ever had a good game in merseyside? He was half decent against Everton in arguably our best performance this season but other than that I can't remember him doing anything in that side of the country.
No, status has to be based on current performances. Respect can be based on past performances. Giggs was in and out of the team, in his last few years, as was proportionate to his performance levels. He was not this guaranteed-to-start Mr. Manchester United "privelidges" man, and was used in line with his footballing level (which had naturally dropped). What he did have, based on past performances, was respect from fans, team-mates, the staff and his manager.
Maybe if you could consider the goal per minute ratio of both players.
I strongly believe his tantrums were just tactics to force our hands to pay him more.
So we can just agree that he's not been meeting expectations and leave wages aside.
Getting better though. I wouldn't get overly excited.
You can not be serious! Its the managers fault if he decides to make Rooney actually earn his place in the team?Fair point, but if managers are not using Rooney correctly (not starting him automatically, using as a sub more, making him earn his place etc.) then the blame can not be put to Rooney. Its Moyes and LVG's fault (if it is). No one blamed Nick Powel when he was selected recently for important games (and did nothing but sleep walk). Rooney is not going to say no if the manager wants him to play (almost) every game.
http://www.squawka.com/comparison-m...6/wayne_rooney/165/165/73/0/p#goals_scored#90I tried a few websites but couldn't easily find anything that will help calculate goals per minute. So may be someone else can help there. I doubt there will be anything different there. Surely Falcao played more minutes in last full season than Rooney played in half of current season.
This is prior to the Swansea game. Call it lazy if you want but these are the statisticsIts really lazy to claim that Falcao was having a relatively better season than Rooney is having now.
Wayne Rooney has scored four times in his past three games, including twice in Tuesday night’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle United. The captain has 11 in all competitions for the club and van Gaal admitted the recent goals were a relief.
“It makes it more easy for me when he scores because I have put all my money on Wayne as a striker,” said the manager. “But last year I remember that Wayne never scored once at Liverpool in 10 years. So he has to break that record, then I am very pleased.”
This. He's all alone up there, longs balls really isn't his main strength either.Not too sure what else he could have done
Absolutely no service at all
And when he eventually got the ball? He's been as awful as others, no excuse!Not too sure what else he could have done
Absolutely no service at all
An absolutely woeful opening 45 away to Liverpool and the standout worst performer of a bad bunch so far.
6 passes. 4 successful. 2 failed.
If RVP or Falcao put that half in, they'd have been abused on here for it.
Wake up a bit lads. He's getting no service because he's offering none. He's 40 yards from any of his nearest team mates. He hasn't defended, he hasn't passed, he hasn't run, he hasn't shot. He has pointed a lot and shoved Kolo Toure when he over hit a knock on to win a corner.
Martial makes things happen even with no service.
