MEN ratings:

Rooney

Started in midfield and ended in the No.10 role. His passing was often shambolic and he was easily dispossessed. No longer good enough for the first XI. 3

 

[AndyJ1985]

We need a Van Persie moment. He needs to get injured for the sake of our team.

Nah. Our manager needs to grow some bollocks and drop him. That's what needs to happen. Injury won't make anything better as he'd just return straight to the first team. The problem needs to be fixed at the root.

Why don't you try reading the comment I actually left after the game rather than trying to call me out

Because this thread is being flooded by posts?

If you're going to leap to conclusions andros sarky comments after a frigging Europa game then expect a rebuttal.

 

[WPMUFC]

he's not a midfielder, jose said he's not a midfielder, yet he's playing midfield. Play an actual midfielder and use rooney as a striker sub.

 

[clarkydaz]

Nothing to prove

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

I thought you said we missed him in the last game.

No. Do your research then get back to me.

 

[Bubz27]

In other games where he has playes poorly, he still manages something half decent in the game. A pass that opens them up or a good tackle.

I am genuinely struggling to think of anything today.

Bumbling with the ball under his feet. Misplacing simple passes with no pressure on him or the receiver. Bebe-like crosses.

Absolutely abysmal today. He isn't the only problem, but he is a huge problem for sure.

 

[Brophs]

He's now a huge problem for us. But he's far from the only one. Dropping him won't sort everything out. But it'd be a useful first step.

I don't know why you are trying to pick an argument when we are in agreement. Probably leave it there.

Van Persie did not return to the team as a regular when we got injured then. As such, that is why I referred to it as a Van Persie moment. I do not believe our manager will drop him. I believe there is something in his contract that requires him to play certain game.

 

[bosnian_red]

Really was hoping he would headbutt the ref at the end or something. Get him suspended for a long time. Since clearly no manager has the balls to drop him, the only way we won't see him start in a league game is for him to be suspended or pick up an injury right? Something like a pulled muscle to keep him out for a few weeks would do nicely really. Doesn't really hurt, just won't let him play.

 

[manunited1919]

I just hope Jose's hands are not tied and he is able to drop him. I would hate to see Rooney booed at Old Trafford sometime in the near future. That's not what our club is about.

 

[Devil81]

Wanted him to get a red at the end of that game just so he'd miss the next three matches.

 

[Judge Red]

We're at the point where you could have called a fan down from the stands to play, informed them to 'just blindly lump the ball anywhere you can whenever it's passed to you' and that performance literally could not have been any worse than Rooney's.

 

[Shark]

Just look at how Pep dealt with Hart, why the feck can't a single United manager do the same to Rooney?

 

[MDFC Manager]

Did you watch how bad we were with him?

You and @wr8_utd really wanted to prove how shit we are without him after last game, so what happened today?

Yeah one of his fanatics was saying after the Feyenoord game that we were poor without Rooney. I said, we'll be worse with him.


And I wasn't even fully serious

There isn't its the most ridiculous thing you hear on here. If mourinho wants to drop him for the next game he does. Either that or he makes it public through leaks that clause exists as otherwise he would only be harming his reputation. The clause does not exist.

 

[Devil may care]

He isn't the only problem, lack of a brainy player in defense without Blind and midfield without Carrick is a big issue, we are all muscle and no mind. However he's a big problem as we are playing with 10 men with him on, and it's so clear Jose is afraid to even sub him, we just keep moving him to a different position, it's like juggling a hot potato.

 

[van Persie]

Just look at how Pep dealt with Hart, why the feck can't a single United manager do the same to Rooney?

Good question. He's not loyal, he's a wanker who tried to force a transfer twice. We owe him nothing. It's astonishing really.

 

[Cheesy]

I'm really not sure. For a while I'd have used the argument that he's a big personality in the dressing room but that's surely been nullified to an extent with Zlatan and Pogba coming in. Even if Rooney holds a lot of sway a ballsy manager should be able to come in and drop him without too much trouble.

 

[Treble]

There is no bigger discrepancy in world football between wages and stature, on the one hand, and performances on the pitch, on the other. We are living in a Orwell world.

 

[Rada]

I don't understand. The caf favorites are playing and Rooney is dropped so how is it we aren't playing glorious and fluid football?

You wanted a game without Wayne Rooney, you got one. 45 minutes gone without their GK being tested

People seriously thought we'd turn into Barcelona without him. Bless em.

Another half of garbage football despite no Wayne on the pitch. Who's to blame now?!

am surprised the anti Rooney brigade are not complaining yet on here about his performance against Feyenoord so far today.

He invisibility (by not playing) is allowing them to waltz through our defences.

F*cking Rooney.

Well Well well

 

[Dinghy]

I dont think Faria is a big fan...

I'm not allowed to embed.

For me it seems obvious that they have given him a chance to play himself out of the team and Rooney has taken it. He's not starting the next league-game.

 

[Amadaeus]

Calm down, it is just a speculation because Rooney deserve to be dropped, yet he has not. Mhkitaryan and Lingard recently seem outcasted for one poor performance, yet Rooney has somehow survived the drop despite being poor for awhile.

 

[ZDwyr]

He has us by the balls. Mourinho is not stupid. Van Gaal is not stupid. Moyes...eh, maybe. But anyway, the fact he is continually picked is wrong. They all know he is done. Everyone knows he is done. The fact he still starts despite playing like garbage for 90 minutes week in, week out is baffling. There is something at play here. There has to be. He's shite.

 

[clarkydaz]

wheres Nick with his page of smilies?

 

[Shane88]

"Please choose a rating between 1 and 10 for all players."

What did he do to deserve that 1 though?

 

[pseudo_canadian]

I am absolutely disgusted with him as a footballer.

 

[Kaos]

I'm so livid I've relegated him to the reserves in the fifa 17 demo, that'll show him.

There's no clause.

Jose refused to drop Ivanovic last season too. He just has misguided faith in some players.

 

[manunited1919]

Would love to see Scholes do a tackle on Rooney. Call him out, Scholesy!!

 

[Ixion]

Last season he had two goals in the league by New Years Day. Two! This was after all summer going on about how he could be a 20 goal a season guy and we didn't need a striker. Now he's in his best position with pace out wide, Ibrahimovic and Pogba around him and he's still not a threat, I doubt he is given any special consideration by opposition manager's before games. He'll inevitably break Sir Bobby's record but he should have already done it ages ago.

 

[Random Task]

"Please choose a rating between 1 and 10 for all players."

What did he do to deserve that 1 though?

He played a 30 yard pass out to the right which landed on the chest of Antonio Valencia. Yeah, that happened.

 

[Alex Styles]

Wonder what Rio/Nevilles et al will say?

They can't criticize him coz they're mates.

 

[clarkydaz]

They can't criticize him coz they're mates.

I know but it will be entertaining hearing them blame team mates and manager

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

When's the Chinese transfer window open again?

 

[anant]

Well Well well

I did say in the last page that he was poor, there are no questions about that. He should be dropped. All the quoted post was, was to point out that he isn't the only problem and removing him won't magically make us Barcelona or real Madrid

 

[BocaJuniors]

You people should be ashamed of yourselves. How could you talk down one of our club legends? He played a pretty good game by his standards. Our fans are too spoilt.

 

[Adisa]

Will lose total faith in the season if he starts the next pl game.

 

[SeaCarrot]

I'm so livid I've relegated him to the reserves in the fifa 17 demo, that'll show him.

Savage.

Deserves a 65 Fifa rating though. Should be a Bronze in ultimate team.
