Suarez was deployed in a withdrawn striking role behind Sturridge and Sterling last season, similar to how Rooney has been deployed in the last 2 games.

Shirley07:

On Rvp, he wasn't just a striker for Arsenal, he was their source of creativity in his last season for Arsenal. Infact, Rvp and Song were Arsenal's most important players that season and do tell me the players that stepped out of Rvp's shadow as soon as he left?

Shirley07:

Lastly, when I say Rooney's play is nothing like a SS, it means he doesn't play like one evethough he's deployed in that role. The second striker/false 9 role requires intelligent movement and awareness, good short interplay, appreciation of space and superb techniques. Rooney showed none of these in that role. As a matter of fact, Totti and Messi are still the master in that role. Ibra and Suarez are not slouch either.
Abeg, I wan sleep.

Elamps better channel your efforts to better things, their criticism of rooney won't affect his weekly wages nor change the good works he has done for both country and club, the managers rooney played under should be termed foolish for playing a poor player for over a decade, wazza the double captain, united fan's home and abroad love your contributions and passion for united.

Di Maria v Everton - 5 assists in 3
games

PietroRico:
lol. Stop making things up.
[b]No one[b] doubts What he has contributed to the club

If na by that one, the likes of giggs, scholes, and even bobby charlton would still be in the starting 11

We're more concerned with what he can offer now.

As for he being our best player, all I can type is lol.

elampiro:


Di Maria or Mata

leggo:
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka (c), Stones,
Baines, Barry, Besic, Pienaar, Mcgeady,
Naismith, Lukaku... Falcao should have no problems with hibbert

Odunharry:
De Gea Rafael, McNair, Rojo, Shaw
Di Maria,VALENCIA, Blind, Mata
van Persie, Falcao

Enegod:
United XI: De Gea; Rafael,
McNair, Rojo, Shaw; Blind;
Valencia, Di Maria; Mata; Falcao,

I can't believe what am reading in dis thread? Wayne Rooney is not good as a striker, he doesn't hv d movement blah blah blah...

...in 2009/2010 season who was our main focal point of attack? in 2007/2008 n in 2008/2009 who were d deadliest attacking duo in EPL n in Europe? d fact is Rooney is a game changer n he is versatile i.e he can play as a winger,a supporting striker(which brings d best outta him),an attacking midfielder, a defensive midfielder n finally a left back but being versatile does not mk u d master of all positions n as far as I know, he is at his best playing behind d striker not in d midfield.... as I know, Sir Alex Ferguson loves versatile players n his squad was full of versatile players who can switch roles when needed...n dats why Rooney was able to fill in d midfield role in 2011/2012 season n even played d defensive midfield role against Otelu Galati in d UCL dat season but u should know, its not his position n dis season, he's being played out of position cos we hv falcao now so don't expect him to do wonders dia...Wayne Rooney is a wonderful striker n is still adapting to being captain of both his club n country n let me tell u,it ain't easy at all...


...let's just pray n hope dat Juan mata fills in perfectly in dat role so dat we will hv a good game today...we need to outscore Everton if we r to win dis match... #UpManUtd

What time are we playing?

chrisley024 :
My fear is we being overrun in that midfield; if Val hugs the line, that leaves Blind exposed with Mata 's lack of tracking back.
Goodluck to us!

RuuDie:
pls who heard what hasselbank had to say about welbeck!?

afrodoc2:

I heard him HOWEVER everybody has his own opinion, certainly Jimmy Floyd isn't all knowing....he just stated an opinion.

RuuDie:


Here is where the bench have to help... Instruct 'em as game progresses.



I feel you... Its not like he 'damned' welbeck; but IMO he was fairly correct in his assessment.
