Came in here and knew there would be OTT criticism again but he's been no worse than anyone else on the pitch.

Typical really. He's actually linked up well in the middle with Herrera, at times. That's where he needs to be, not out wide running at players. That's not his game.
 
another disgraceful performance, how this piece of shit is still in the club is beyond me and the twat doesn't give a fcuk like if he was out last night, absolute shambles of a captain and footballer


This 'piece of shit' deserves a lot more credit for what he has done on the pitch for the club. The criticism is just above beyond with that one and he definitely deserves more respect.

Someone who's playing poorly shouldn't be exempt from criticism because others are too. Unless there's a certain point at which if enough players are playing poorly they all get a free pass.

Exactly. It's like a lot of people just wait for him not to score so the have something to criticize him over.

Everyone agrees that he has been a great player, but not sure that he deserves much respect. He has wrecked that legacy all by his own.

It's OTT and disrespectful criticism. He's hardly been the worst out there but yet because he earns 300k he's the one gets a lot of shit on here. What exactly do people expect Rooney to do when our team is lumping balls up to their keeper?

No, I wait for him to be able to control a ball with a defender at his back. He is so, so poor at receiving the ball these days. He does combine fairly well at times, but he is too sloppy overall. Looked sprightly for a couple of matches, but today he looks sluggish again. Weird player.

Not in my eyes. I don't think there's a player currently at the club that has done more for United than him. And no one has deserved more respect than him. I'm not interested in an argument here, just wanted to let you know that at least one person disagrees with you.
 
What would Rooney even get in the box for? The box goes there directly from the back.

Disagree that he has been a great player? Because he has. Disagree that he has wrecked his legacy? Personal opinion, and I think fans are divided on that one.

He's wrecked it by being shit ( i agree) but yet our top scorer this season. Or is it because he asked for 300k and still plays for this club unlike some other "legend" this club has had?

The latter. I edited it a bit to make it clear.

Many ways to leave a club. I don't think there's anything wrong seeking new hunting grounds, but the way he conducted himself was disgraceful. Also, he's been crap lately, but he will be remembered as a great player - Gerrard is.
 
Looks a lot better when Van Gaal actually decides to play the best team. Who would have thought... The "fans" posting in this thread are probably the biggest retards I have ever encountered on the caf.

I also agree with you.

no player deserves respect when put in 50% thats what Ive seen today and many times before this season, his absolute lack of any sort of skill skill and actual basic ability is another matter. What he's done for the club is one thing and playing every week for the biggest club in the world and dont give a feck is another, pretty sure he would have been stabbed for a display like this somewhere in Turkey. He's absolute joke of a captain, he's complete opposite what it should be. Shambles to the club and right now the biggest reason we are in this shit also with Van Gaal of course who should be long gone..
 
I'm one of his biggest critics, but you really can't look good under van Gaal, so I'll lay off him until we have some plan of attack.

how can you defend that a player cant make 5 yard pass and control football.. how could he finish another game is beyond me, he must really cocksuck Vangaal or I am not sure how he deserves to start games.. Van Gaaldidnt make him favour with the system today, everyone who is sane wouldnt play him like this if he had to start whatsoever..
 
Typical United. Always sipping the wine of past glory while basking in the sunlight of history. Yes, he has done well in the past but we have also paid a ton of money for the services. People on here are talking like Rooney did all of this for free. Past is past, now he is an embarrassing shambles of a Captain. His record did not get us over the line today, did it?

Have you ever heard of Ryan Giggs?

2 chances created but I'd advise looking at the above, a 'chance' is determined by a shot following that pass. In both instances, said shots were from 40 odd yards.

He shat himself anytime Virgil Van Dijk came near him...

No one should shit themselves over anyone named Virgil
 
Finished and should be benched or sold. Scored a couple of goals but the performance was average. And that's what he is today, average. ...
Get a real striker in.
 
He's awfully slow. Like watching the charity games with 50 year old players making an appearance.

That's all I have to offer. I know it's not acceptable to criticise anything else.
 
I watched Bayern's match last night and they played a similar style to us in truth, it was pretty pedestrian for long spells, the big difference was their pace on the flanks and a proper #9 that can hold the ball up, something which requires a good first touch and body strength, Rooney has neither of these attributes and it's exposed in games like this where teams set up defensively against us.
 
I've said it before but our best attacking performances are when he has played well. Those who defend him insist his poor performances are down to how to the team plays but it goes both ways, a good performance from Rooney and our attacking game flows much better. Problem is you can count on one hand the number of actual good performances he's put in this season and have fingers to spare.
 
He was the worst player on the pitch today after Blind. He's probably good enough for what we are though, an average shit stain of a team.
 
Poor performance but shouldn't have been shunted on the wing, the guys scored 5 in his last 4 games so what was the motivation to move him outwide? Was it the fact that he's scoring?
 
Any striker would have to be a magician to do anything remotely like scoring a goal playing with that load of rubbish behind them.
And any magician who didn't show even the tiniest spell of magic, in any situation, needs to do a vanishing act.
