I don't think Carragher knows I've criticized Rooney.

Strange that......Liverpool players giving him credit.
Hmmmm.....wonder why.
Hmmmm.....wonder why.
I wonder if this is the kind of game with the kind of system city are using is best dropping rooney, play Pogba closer to the striker so he has the free reigns to press city, imagine that 6 ft 3 athletic tank of a player coming after your back 4 and midfield, with also a 6 ft 5 animal dangerous in the air also pressing your back 4, with Martial and Rashford pressing city, its something I think jose will think about, with perhaps herrera teaming up with Pogba to press teams with fellaini sitting deeper, it could give us the physical edge, the pace to hurt city and the energy to win those 50/50 challenges
Once again, digs at the imaginary posters.
It's a bit silly, yeah. It's noticeable how the rebuttals to criticisms against Rooney typically aren't anything to do with Rooney's actual form on the pitch besides the occasional references to his stats which have admittedly been decent - it's always that people are obsessed, have an agenda, have a personal dislike to him etc when the reality is that a lot of people just don't think he's good enough anymore.
Come on Weetabix head, do something today!
Looking forward to seeing Rooney stink up the pitch again with his pub league first touches.
Hope he has a good game but can really see him struggle and lose the ball again and again.
That's the worry. He can get away with it against the likes of Hull (where we will dominate) but not against good teams. He needs to be a lot better today.
Yes. It's a big worry.
Please play well, his piss poor touch and sluggishness could really punish us today.
He'll have an awful game. Pep will have his players on him the moment he picks up the ball and as we've seen countless times, Rooney just doesn't have the technique any more to deal with it.
Just hope he plays out wide on the left rather than centrally where he can make the most disturbances to ourselves. Damage limitation if you want to call it.
I absolutely agree. If you're not gonna drop him, at least drop him for this game only. Rooney crumbles under pressure and Pep's style is that of extreme pressure, especially on the weakest links in the team. Remember that Bayern game under Moyes when they let Fellaini take the ball and then pressured him constantly until he gave the ball? This will be the same game, although Rooney will be the one that will get battered this time.
Hope this isn't the case but can't help feel like this too.
This City side isn't Bayern, nowhere close. In talent or physicality.
Pep style is the same everywhere he goes. If Rooney can lose the ball 3 times in the space of 1 min against Hull...
Let's just wait and see. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Pep has only been to two other places, where he had two squads that far eclipse this City side. I'll trust Mourinho has the experience in this league to know what he's doing. Feck Pep.
I hopes he has a good game for United's sake but I have zero confidence!
Zero confidence means no hope though.
Hopefully he is thrown under the bus if things go tits up.

This is how stupid some of you lot sound. Carragher has spoke about numerous United players in a positive light. As soon as its Rooney "his friends in the media" and stupid conspiracy theories come out.
You're a new member. I don't think The best way to get promoted is to insult one of our longest serving playersHopefully he is thrown under the bus if things go tits up.
Man Utd 1:2 Man City
He's doing his best to give the ball away.
Good turn and ball to Mhkitaryan.
Rooney gives a shit today. Fighting for this game
He and Fellaini the only ones showing a bit of passion.
Looks like our only competent player
Yup. Not great but still pulling his weight more than others.
A match when he's doing ok and Neville finally offers him up as a likely candidate for substitution while ignoring players that have been worse. What the feck?
What's he doing that is "ok"? He's as useless as always.
He needs that long drawn out first touch before thinking about doing anything productive with the ball.
It's crazy.
Absolute rubbish
Pff. A player who tried to force a move twice and gets paid over twice as much as he deserves because of it.
He looks like Maradona compared to the two wingers. Well he did until the last few minutes anyway. He's been more constructive in counter attacks, even if they did involve the automatic ball to the right wing. He's doing something at least.
Agreed. He does look like Maradona compared to our wingers
he's trash nothing new here.
To be fair they have been so shit Stephen Hawking would look better than them.
Wasn't a half bad cross to Zlatan there.
