I think @Walters_19_MuFc takes Rooney's poor performances very personally. Sadly he's the only one who can see how well he's played

Very poor, along with blind he should have been taken off as both were contributing nothing positive. He is the weakest link up front and slows everything down.
Wayne Rooney can count himself blessed Ander Herrera is currently injured and Adnan's out on loan. He has done nothing to warrant the #10 role in this United side.
He was comfortably worse than both.
The hell is wrong with you? It was yet another example Rooney's lack of ability on the ball which has been evident for about three seasons now.
What's pathetic about wanting some confirmation of what we just witnessed? Or are you just fed up of being proved wrong (as nearly everyone on your side is) regarding Rooney's performance and value to this team?
Back to the game..
Absolutely killed us in the second half with his slow play. I was ready to scream near the end when he fecked up with Mata and nearly set them off on another attack. Just embarrassing at times given his status. What I will give him is he certainly tried to press well but if that's the best I can offer for him then deary me.
Thank god Smalling is in there and leading well because when Schweinsteiger leaves the pitch, it's clear we've lost a leader and Rooney is never in the same breath in that regard.
How dare you laugh at captian Rooney? Call yourself a United supporter?
He needs to go. Addition by subtraction really. He sticks out like a sore thumb given the overall technical ability of players like Blind, Martial, Mata, Carrick and Schweini in the team. Even Young has managed to look so much better than anything Rooney's put up.
FFS. He is earning silly money every week, money normally reserved to the too players in the world.
I could go out there be shit and work my ass off pal. Shouldnt be anywhere near the team, he makes us worse, that's all there is to it.
I was thinking the same. He's struggling to run and turn, he looks finished at the moment.
He was shit again, no disguising it. Thought he'd turned a corner against Sunderland - turns out that probably had more to do with Sunderland being shit.
I feel slightly sorry for him because physically he is done.
Needs new shoes for start, slipping all over the place..
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
Only saw a bit of the game but he looked fairly anonymous and didn't really offer much at all. I fear that he's going to be kept in the team due to sporadically scoring every so often, with an occasional goal being enough for LVG to justify his place. If he doesn't improve form wise, he's going to be fairly detrimental to us.
Are you atill going on?
Personally, I think its pathetic to laugh at our own players misfortune, but you obviously don't. Its gone now. Move on!
There were times he literally just stood there and watched their players run past him when we were trying to hang on to a lead.
My god he is diabolical. It's actually become a parody.
Poor, he gets the ball on the break 3 or 4 times and doesn't know what to do with the ball except slow the fecking game down and then lose possession.
Doesn't contribute at all going forward. He's getting a free pass.
Not much than Schneiderlin. Couldn't decide who was crappier from both.
Depay I think was ok.
Well maybe not, but I've seen players doing fck all if things don't go their way. Atleast he tries.. Not discrediting his great performance ofcourse...
If Van Gaal still can't see how shite he is and bad for us, I guess his reputation for not looking for names but performances should be fecked off. Absolutely horrible today. Useless. This guy is our captain and highest earner. Joke.
Exactly
Thats not what not what the stats say. Top 3 in distance covered.
Yeah not all of us take football as seriously as you do so refrain from calling people pathetic next time maybe
Each and every one of us here would run and give our all till we puke on the pitch. So?
Unfortunately, I think you're right. Looks too tired these days. Worked his socks off at times, but he paid the price for it for a few minutes afterwards as he tried catching his breath and stuff.
At least Brendon had the balls to drop Mr.liverpool
Rooney is MLS standard now laughable his fanboys and worryingly lvg can keep supporting him

Captain or not, he needs a wakeup call.
I don't think he was physically able at times.
Rooney is done, we should be looking to replace him in summer.
He's fecking shite.
He just doesn't have many qualities any more. He can't dribble, can't hold up the ball, his short passing is sloppy, doesn't get into good positions, lost a fair bit of pace, prone to a poor first touch and isn't clinical in front of goal either any more. Basically the Anti-Martial. He's one of our biggest weaknesses these days unfortunately.
That's the issue I have in all honesty! If Rooney was sitting on the bench as a bit-part player, I wouldn't care that much (I'd be much less angry about him anyway) but its the fact he's robbing someone else of an opportunity.
There's no way in hell Herrera or Mata couldn't perform better in that role.
Poor today for me, probably the worst player on the park. Thought he showed a few nice passes in the first half but bottled his chance and was horrendous in the 2nd.
Interesting to see what LvG does with him, surely he can't be oblivious to this.

He worked hard but his play bar the odd moment was average/poor. Could say the same for most the players today but for the majority of them it's an odd blip in their season, for Rooney it's in keeping with his overall play. When you look at what Mata shows he can bring when he comes inside I just think with him allowed a central role for a series of games, he could bring a lot more than Rooney is. And if not him then surely this game was calling out for Herrera to help get control and get the passing back on. I really hope LVG lives up to his reputation with Rooney if he keeps on like this.
He looked like he was after running a marathon at the end of that game, could barely even jog he was that exhausted. He was absolute garbage tonight. He is a major step below everyone else in the team, and I don't think this is even a bad patch, he's past it and needs to be dropped. He would be good for us coming off the bench instead of starting games, but for whatever reason it's not going to happen. He's going to keep starting games and being shit for the whole season. I really can't see what Van Gaal is hoping is going to happen. It's going to cost us in the long run if he keeps playing.
Did I say he should start, or he makes us better? Off the ball he wasn't playing that bad. On the ball however it was dreadful...
It happens, he's playing since 16 years old, unfortunately the end is here and the only way now is down.
