Can hardly blame him today. He's basically playing all on his own when we have the ball thanks to Herrera and Morgan.

He really can't pass to the left can he? fecked up an easy pass for a counter to the left but can pass to the right to Valencia all day long
there was one to Rojo the commentator blamed the wet pitch
I am not his biggest fan but he's been our best player tonight.
Seems the only one dealing with the intensity. Rest just shirk away or are pushed aside.

Thinks he's prime Iniests floating passes around the pitch. Absolute shite
It's ridiculous to watch. The whole stadium knows exactly what he's going to do.
I thought that pass looked very slow to arrive and put Rashford under pressure. I screamed at the television (again) at that point.
It's like that one kid that comes to your house, learns a new move on your Street Fighter game and wipes you out every time. So annoying!
He was outmuscled tbf.
I had countless arguments here weeks ago when many were trying to tell me Rooneys floaty passy to Valencia/Mata was 'vision'.
I HATE him.
Just wish he'd feck off and never come back. If I never had to hear the name Wayne Rooney for the rest of my life i'd die a happy man.

Seriously, even as he pulls the trigger for his pass its like 'aww not this shit again' before he has even kicked it
I'm surprised people think he was good in this first half, I thought he was one of our worst players.
That's complete nonsense. It was a very good ball. Rashford just needed to stick his head on it and it would probably have been a goal
his movement looks better, arguably one of the better players today in overall dross level but he fails big time as a captain
Makes me want to weep watching this guy 'running' our midfield. He was shit in midfield when Fergie tried it and that was before his legs went. But he's great around the dressing room so he must start every game he's fit for us.
I'll have to see it again, but it looked a nice ball in.
Again, I'll have to see it again. I'm sure Rashford weirdly ducked though.
He gave a team talk and we won a game once. Best captain ever.
Whereas the creative, forward thinking Mata and Herrera constantly have.
Not a positive because those long passes are putting his partners out of the game. Quicker passes will go a long way in getting the team going.
His passing is far too poor for him to ever become a midfielder long term.
I thought he was probably our best player tbf. Says a lot about the rest of them though.
Take a drink every time Rooney gets the ball and hits it out to the wing.
You'll be dead by the end of the game.

We might be talking about two different passes.
If you really believe that, it's just agenda and hatred talking. He's easily been the best of the trio. Yes his ball out wide might be as predictable as us being rubbish at football but he's been the only one of Rashford, Mata, Herrera and Morgan who looks like he's actually turned up.
he had one or nice moments with some howlers, but he is so limited and predictable. He is a physical presence in the middle of the park at least, compared to the lightweights
Both those statements are pretty accurate.
Don't think he's been bad.
Something that was apparently so out of the ordinary that it required a story about it.
The Hollywood ball out to the right is annoying enough in that it's clearly him just trying to look flash and it comes off nowhere near enough but even when it does we've got Valencia and either Lingard or an ineffectual Mata out there to receive the pass. Rooney's by no means our worst player, in fact he's probably worth a place in the starting 11 but that in itself is so bad. Every time he moves position you have people complaining that it's wasting his talents, the reason being he's just not very good anywhere anymore. It's pathetic that he's the figurehead and face of the club and it's a sign of our woeful transfer policy that the alternatives to him are so mediocre.
Like Liverpool with Gerrard and Toure at City, I'm not sure we can properly move on until he's out of the club and we have younger, hungrier and frankly better players in our midfield and attack.

Hoe does that excuse him?
Pass combinations:
Rooney to Valencia 7
Rooney to Rojo 7
Rooney to Blind 5
Rojo to Rooney 9
Blind to Rooney 8
Valencia to Rooney 5
Essentially our defence moves it forward and central to Rooney who then switches play or knocks it back and it falls apart. Rinse and repeat.

Hes been out best player so far tonight even though he isnt playing well which just goes to show how rubbish everybody else has been.
If we had those it would make sense but we don't really. Our squad is full of a lot of rubbish.
He's been one of our best players today. The problem is the players around him. No muscles AT ALL.
I love his straight Scholes-like passes.

Our best player today shows how poor we have become
It's over for him in my opinion, but that doesn't matter tonight, let's see if he can raise his game and drive us on to win.
Agreed, I did say he merits a place in the team currently but that's due to our woeful transfer policy and the alternatives being a bit crap. My issue is that's not because he's that good anymore (I think we've only seem him at his best in patches since the end of 2011), it's that the squad is so ordinary despite us spending £300m in the last 3 years. Even today he's not been anything like our best player but he's so ordinary for someone who the club put on such a pedestal.
least worst meaning of the three he has been the one that has less terrible than the other two.
call down.
I would love to see a "Wayne Rooney Skillz" youtube video, containing only floated passes to right wing, with 99 Red Balloons as the theme music. The passes should be in slow motion to emphasize their majestic trajectory.
