it's over Wayne. can't remember when the last time he had a good game
 
Majestic, game controlling dictation! Like Xavi in his prime, Malta could play in the PL if PL stood for Pub League.
 
And could very easily have had a red card too.
 
Absolute spent. I'd argue that he would struggle in the Championship these days. Should maybe go the Scottish League or something.
 
It's getting sad, he looks tragic. He looks like one of those very old boxers who has to come out of retirement for one last payday cause they're broke.
 
If we dint know him by his name and he played for malta, then judging by his game alone we d be asking if he is a farmer or shephard and plays part time football for malta. He is now a floater shit. Fans want to flush him but the fecker refuses to go.
 
Couldn't be bothered watching the game, surely he didn't play bad? Booed? That's quite sad to hear regardless

He wasn't great. The next game will show more where he is at. We don't know how easy England were taking it today or if they were just inept. He slowed the game down completely. Against a pacy side he will get overrun.

If he can't see that he is under pressure to perform and prove his doubters wrong against Malta, its either because he doesn't care and doesn't feel that he has anything to prove or he's just plain crap now or both. If there was anyone that needed to put in a performance against Malta it was Rooney.

He needed to and he didn't. He could have bossed this game and at times I actually forgot he was there.
 
He was terrible tonight. How has Mark Noble not gotten a call up yet? Drinkwater or Barkley would have been a much better option than an aging out of form, out of position Wayne Rooney. The English just never learn.

I was looking at the player scores in the Daily Mail. He got 6 and they said he kept the game ticking over. Whaaaat?:lol:
 
Southgate has just confirmed Rooney will be starting and captaining the side against Malta ffs. What does it fecking take to drop this useless sack of potatoes? Ridiculous.
I heard that this guy thought that Rooney was past it in 2012, so what gives now?

I can't stand him anymore but even I was surprised at how bad and how obvious the booing was when he ballooned that shot.
 
The Anti Rooney Mob are destroying the caf for everyone else,any excuse to have a go at him is taken,he wasn't bad today but it was a boring game to watch but not as boring as the attack on Rooney has become...
 
Hard not to conclude that he is holding back club and country.

Mourinho has already nipped that in the bud. Southgate unfortunately........

'His ability to control games, his experience, because we know it's one where we will have a lot of the ball. In the last few matches have had 40 or 30 per cent of the ball so I expect us to be controlling the game.'

Lol. He was being booed at the stadium and you're having a go at us.

Hmmmm I can't put my finger on why but I feel you may be slightly biased.

Interesting username.
 
It's true what he's saying though, the entire forum is obsessed with Rooney it's boring
It's not obsession. It's the fact he's really, like really bad and all us are fearing every game will he start or not. He doesn't even have enough to give from the bench imo.
I mean after all this is his performance thread right? So people will comment on his performances and his performances are not good, to say it nicely.

Yeah we all fear he might play so we talk about it all the time. It's not just his performance thread the majority of the main part of the forum is Rooney threads it's sad.

It's maybe sad. But you know what else is sad? How his form has gone downhill so rapidly.
 
It's sad that people complain about the threads as a disguised way of stopping criticism. But then, Rooney himself can't take any criticism, as we've seen recently.
 
Press reaction:
Mail:
Rooney was like an old man watching his grandchildren frolic around in the garden. He was slow. He was indecisive
Indie:
...but his selection appeared nothing less than indulgence, with the Manchester United player doing little to suggest he will become indispensable in a deeper role.

Where to start? Rooney, 31 in three weeks’ time, lacks the mobility to move the ball around quickly enough against quality opposition and there seems to be a confidence issue creeping into his game, with him rejecting any opportunity to receive the ball and run forward.

Torygraph:
His efforts to justify his place in the team were also hardly helped by him being completely outshone by his midfield partner, who surely must start alongside Dier in Slovenia....With all the talk about Rooney starting in midfield again, his partner Jordan Henderson showed how the role should be played when the opposition give you all the time and space you need to display your full array of passing skills..

Mirror:
There are only 33 countries officially worse than Pietro Ghedin’s men.
And the sight of Rooney struggling to make his mark as a deep-lying midfielder ensured the jeers that greeted his confirmation as skipper before kick-off resurfaced towards the end.

Because he's like a log stuck in the clubs bowel, no one is going to be comfortable until it's shit out and we can move forward.
 
It's really sad to see it come to this for Rooney, but it's hard to feel sorry for him because he's too stubborn to see the writing on the wall.
