Are we watching the same game? Amazing passes?
Yes. I just don't think he's been as bad as some people on here seem so keen to point out whenever they can.
He really is short of confidence
What amazing passes?
Rooney too tired to run after 30 mins 
Apart from the miss, I think he's been really good when he's got the ball. Good range of passing. Think he'll score tonight.
He looks shot at this level. We'd be better without him on the pitch.
Criminal. He has been awful. No idea what's wrong with him. No other player gets so many chances to play themselves into form. He has been this all over the shop since he hesitated in front of the Spurs goal. Just don't understand why he is playing with such a massive monkey on his back.
He's becoming a problem now. Very alarming
I was. A professional footballer in the Champions League has to be scoring that. I think just about anyone else in the team would have buried that with ease. Even Dave.
Like when he passed the ball directly to the Wolfsburg player in the middle of the park, really good play.
He's played a couple of great ones inside the channels (one with his left over 30/40 yards too particularly impressive), plus switches out to Valencia and Darmian. I'm not denying he's made errors too by the way, I just don't buy this Rooney is a complete waste of space and not much else chatter every single game. People are asking me if I'm watching the same game, and I ask others the same question; those who only wish to see what goes wrong. Our play through the phases tonight has been very good so far, if he was quite so terrible, he'd be breaking it up every time.
He is, and he's going to keep playing. Every time he touches the ball I expect him to screw something up.
Trust you to remember that one. Schweinsteigers give it away a lot more than Rooney, yet I doubt that'll be mentioned, or maybe you just didn't see it.
If you were to watch the first half again, most people would notice how silly they are criticising him. He's been fine in the first half.
Good stuff developing with Martial.
He played decently today. Much better than his usual level so far this season. But how did he miss that chance!
Fine isn't good enough for our self styled most important player
Thought he's been good, the miss apart.
Created 0 chances from the no 10 position is not playing fine. And I do remember Bastian giving it away, but we're in the Rooney thread.
He is not playing fine.
His overall play has actually been very good today. That missed chance is very uncharacteristic for him though, as he's been a very reliable finisher the last few years.
Hes been fine. The moaning is just getting silly. Memphis and schweinsteiger have been worst but as usual its Rooney everybody moans about.
Didn't he square it for Memphis in the build up to his left-footed shot that was saved or am I making that up?
Elephant in the room.
The most worrying part is that some people are defending him saying he was "not bad" or "decent". Is that good enough?
I thought that was Mata, but possibly. I don't know why but when the CMs and the CBs get the ball they are looking for someone in the whole and there is no one available. That is the main reason I say he isn't playing fine.
I said apart from his missed chance he's been fine, which, if you watched the first half, you'd see that.
It's certainly a divisive issue.
I literally can't imagine what the other half are watching when it comes to defending Rooney. I can only assume they've lowered their standards so drastically that they see this kind of performance as acceptable.

So apart from the great chance he missed he's been fine?
Okay, well apart from the goal we conceded, we're keeping a clean sheet tonight.
You're not alone.
Here here.
You've answered your question there people are saying it every single game because it happens every single game.
He offers nothing and hasn't done for months he is the weak link in our team everyone can see that. He's that bad he's become a problem. If Ander was fit then he should be picked over Rooney everytime.
Sigh
But that just isn't the case. We'll have to agree to differ.
Remember we're in Rooney's thread. "Fine" is the new he's done fecking nothing( good or bad ), despite of being one of the highest paid player in the world, club' icon etc...
Every time he receives the ball there seems to be some kind of mistake or feck up. His performances haven't been up to scratch even for an average striker of our level for a while now.
Honestly I hope we sell him next Summer, as on his wage I'd imagine he wouldn't accept a rotation role. I realise he's been a great servant for the club, but it seems more and more it is coming time for us to part ways, as painful as that might be to hear.

I wonder if he realizes how badly he's playing.
Schweinsteiger has been less than just "fine" hes been bad and is on £275,000 a week, but its always this stupid thread that gets bumped to moan 3 minutes into a match, its just ridiculous.
Give me strength
