Honestly no idea what he's meant to offer the team. And it was definitely a first touch :lol:
 
I think its time to switch the hair game Rooney. Reverting to Wane Rooney again. Dreadlocks maybe?
 
Don't know if I'm sad or annoyed at the version of Rooney we now have to live with. Absolute shadow of the man he was. How has this happened just over a couple of seasons?
 
Is it any wonder we're shite at creating chances and scoring goals when we have this useless lump in the team.
 
He's not awful anymore but he's still a mixed bag and his finishing is not good enough.
 
He looks ok physically, good even by his standards these days. Mentally though, seems to be taking that extra second to suss things out and by then the opportunity is lost.
 
If people think his performances are good enough then we really have cemented our place as a Europa league team.
 
Didn't think he was that bad, I was as angry as him when we were chasing a goal and subbed him off.
 
Loved the part where he was banging his boot against the wall of the bench and Jose turned around and asked WTF he was doing. :lol:
 
Finishing ranges from downright shocking to good at times. I guess that happens with many strikers though.

A few more to go boys!
 
I think he was good. Had that chance which their keeper saved and 2 good shots. Had one chance where he fluffed the first touch but overall a decent game imo.
 
He wasn't bad - not his usual bad anyway. He wasn't overly good though. A mixed bag, pretty average.
 
If only he was at end of some of chances our other player miss, right @wr8_utd ?
 
Where has his shooting ability gone?

In fairness that shot on the turn would have been a hell of a goal.

I don't think it is his shooting ability so much that has deserted him as the ability to make half a yard of space for himself. That's the biggest difference in him now, he's so sluggish compared to what he was and doesn't have that core strength to out muscle defenders and it translates to scuffed half chances instead of prime opportunities.
 
He was ok I guess, he wasn't awful he just doesn't offer much of anything, we need better, we should be aspiring to have better, not acting like this is a level of player that is acceptable at United.
 
Did he throw a tantrum when he was subbed? It certainly looked like it.

That would be embarrassing from our captain.
