What worries me as well is that after big feck ups, like missing the sitter Martial passed to him in the first half, he seems to blame external things like the pitch or whatever, which doesn't bode well for improvement if it's always somebody else's fault.
 
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.
Didn't say Rooney is the worst player on the pitch.

Schweinsteiger is on £275k a week? Pretty sure that you have made that figure up

Schweinsteiger's been quite good so far. Looked composed when he's come on at times, made some lovely passes too. For someone who's still settling in, he's done a decent job thus far. Rooney's certainly played worse than him.

If Schweinsteiger had been shite for 90% of games this season his thread would get bumped too but he's actually been playing well this season. Rooney on the other hand...
 
Considering Rooney is on around £300k a week he needs to do better. Considering his complaining about the lack of great signings he needs to really be performing at a level above what he is now. Definitely needs to improve
 
This is becoming a big problem now because I am actually starting to become really angry towards him as are a lot of you it seems, I hate being like that to someone who has done so much for our club but thats Van Gaals fault for being blind to the fact that his history and name should not come before what he actually does on that pitch, he's been nothing short of garbage for a few seasons now, I mean his stats for last season were rubbish, for being the highest paid player and someone thats to lead by example he's a passenger, especially in tonights game, he should of been the first player off tonight and thats becoming a regular occurrence now
 
He's not undroppable on this form, not wth Van Gaal as manager. I think it's been the correct decision to give him the chance to play into some form, given his record, but it's time to give Herrera a chance imo.
 
Hasn't been a captain's performance tonight. Standing and watching the defensive phases at times here. A catalyst for poor possession and failing to influence the team in these times of panic.

Utter shit. On the pitch Bastians the real captain.
 
He had a nightmare tonight. We look so good as a team at times, but Rooney never looks good. He struggles with the most simple of touches these days. Its quite something to see actually. Cant see him being dropped, but something has to be done here. God, he's rotten.
 
Yes calling people pathetic for laughing at something isn't childish at all. What the matter with you?

Bit strange of him. I can understand someone being pissed off at you for laughing at our own players if it had led to an opposition goal in a CL final, but seems a bit pointless to get angry when we've won. We can all have a sense of humour about United.
 
At some point someone around LvG has to start asking him what we could achieve with a player who's actually contributing in the number 10 role, instead of persisting with Rooney there. It's baffling that he's getting minutes in the form he's currently displaying.
 
Zero goalthreat. Zero creativity. But a goal line clearence. ROONAY! ROONAY!

That's pretty woeful. Terrible from someone whose role is to be one of our most creative and productive forces. Only thing that's even remotely decent there is his passing percentage.
 
The fact that Rooney defense has boiled down to the two other new guys played worse says it all.

Indeed.
The problem that I have with him is that he is undroppable. So as such, I'd expect him to be our talisman. But a talisman is not what he is.
A striker who finds it difficult to score or create chances. This is the reason why we got rid of Falcao, Hernandez and RVP. Yet, Rooney is undroppable.
 
Gave his all and worked his ass off. He may not be in top form, but you have to hand it to him that he gives his all.
 
I feel sorry for Rooney.

He's not playing well, no confidence and his sharpness has fallen off a cliff. He knows just as much as everyone else that he's un-droppable and that must add pressure to an already off form player
 
It's not even stats, every single pass he makes, it's either slowing everything to 0 or is too difficult for others to control it, his decision making is just baffling, he seems to have lost all footballing ability he's had, it's not even about pace, shooting, scoring or feck knows what anymore.
 
I see no signs of him getting better. He is physically shot IMO which is the worst part. He's not out of form. It's who he is right now which is the harsh truth.
