Doesn't matter how badly he plays to some people, every tap in or penalty he scores makes up for it and proves he's still got it in him to be a great player.
 
It was a very good header, but that doesn't change the fact that he's not good enough to justify his place.

If he'd been off and we'd had Mkhitaryan on instead we'd probably have been a few up already.
 
and then he plays one of the worst passes of the season to start another counter attack :lol:
 
He's a forward who's got a goal. So job done you could say. But he's been poor overall.

He should be offering much more than goals alone, unless he's consistently getting impressive numbers.
 
Has he done anything good except the goal today? Another terrible performance where he is literally stopping us from playing some football.
 
The point being your captain should be your most consistently best player. Not your consistently worst player
Well he isnt our worst performer today herrera will take that honour as things stand and everyone bums him.
Obviously he is well respected in the club and that's why he is captain I'll listen to jose thanks for
When he plays bad he is indefensible but when he isn't playing bad and people whinge its seriously irritating.
I am pleased he is no longer on free kick duty tho

Based on what?
 
The fact that Rooney ruined almost every attack he became involved in. Change Mkhitaryan to Rashford if you like.

Wow, great logic that! So we were 2 up until that point but with someone else instead of him we would score even more? Why stop there, let's imagine having Messi instead of Mata on the right, perhaps we would be something like 7:0 in the 60th minute, poor Mata scored only 1 goal, pathetic.

Off the 20 seconds he has against Leicester probably

:lol:

I think there's a lot of politics involving him still being captain. It would be more trouble than it's worth to take it off him.

Herrera has been anonymous today. I can't of a single good or bad thing he did. Rooney was pretty poor but he scored too. Both getting a 6 from me.
 
Poor game but he put it in the goal which is what he is on the pitch to do. Same again next week and we're laughing.

You do realise than both Mkhitaryan and Rashford actually play for United? feck knows where Messi comes into this.
 
Bigger issue is the midfield... How the F is Fellaini starting for the third straight Man Utd manager? He's crap. Herrera is crap too. All they do is hoof it.

Rooney was ok today. Scored so it makes things ok. Control is still shaky and makes bad passing decisions too surprisingly. I'm thinking the later is fixable. The control worries me though.

Fellaini was better than Rooney today.
 
He got a goal. That is ultimately his main objective, but who knows how many more goals we could have got at earlier stages had Rashford/Mkhitaryan been playing instead of him?

Herrera wasn't great, but he was a lot better than Rooney. He scored one, but he should have had 3 and broke down another 3-4 promising attacking moves with poor passes or by being tackled. Rooney was awful, again. I can't understand how anyone can watch Utd and not get that...
 
It's just beyond ridiculous now. He was terrible again. Forget about the goal, he broke up more of our attacks than any Bournemoth defender. He shouldn't even be making our bench, so many of us have said it so many times before so it's all a bit pointless now, but God I hope he gets dropped soon.
