wayne rooney against everton - 3 poorly taken cornerkicks & elampawa told the public rooney never took cornerkicks in 11/12 season. grin

You will have to produce evidence that I said Rooney never took a corner kick. You dont pay attention to details.

You said Rooney was our corner kick taker, that was the dispute.

And you lied to us these were long balls. If these were long balls, how did Rooney made over 70% accurate long balls all season?


Ukwu!!!

If you considered a playmaker as one who dictate the direction of a team's play and influences virtually all matches in his team favour, Herrera is not there yet. You saw the other day when he played against Liecester and Southampton, the games were somewhat beyond him.
so if a playmaker has a bad day, he seizes to be one until he gets another good day on the pitch?

this long argument na just English Language cause am ooo.

was Okocha a playmaker?
is Fabregas a playmaker?
who was the playmaker for the Netherlands in Brazil?
can you name your top 5 playmakers in the world presently.

Shirley was stressing the point that a playmaker very different from a deep-lying midfielder, that was why I asked her that question.

when van Gaal deployed the diamond Herrera - Blind - Angel - Rooney; Blind & Herrera did most of the midfield interchanges & little one-twos to keep possession with the full backs, Angel started most of the attacks functioning as an inverted winger & a central midfielder together, Rooney made lots of late runs into the channel created by one of the strikers who drags his marker away. their roles were clearly defined & the pattern worked. the downside was the lack of energy & pace tracking back, and that's why van Gaal is looking to add steel in the mix - step forward Fellaini.

Shirley harping on this playmaker subject & nullifying the gaffer's (obvious) reach for balance, is just singing awilo

Coogar lied to us Rooney was taking corner kicks.

I saw at least two goals Rooney scored from corner in 2011/2012. From Giggs (right flag), Young (left flag). grin Liverpool and Tottenham respectively.

your lies are so advanced - you are now lying that you lied. were you not the one that posted this last night or your neighbour lent your laptop? grin

in about 4 different games i have checked, rooney took about 10 corner kicks already. who then was our corner kick taker if it wasn't rooney?


And you lied to us these were long balls. If these were long balls, how did Rooney made over 70% accurate long balls all season?
Ukwu!!!

corner kicks are part of long balls. opta defined long ball as any pass over 25 yards. i repeat, 25 yards. the distance from the corner flag to the penalty spot is about 35 yards. all those corner kicks count as long passes or long balls.

the reason rooney had 70% accuracy is because he had many passes over the 25-yard barrier. these passes aren't necessarily forward passes. they could be square, forward or backward.

rooney likes doing the cross field pass to the flanks while he quickly darts into the box to meet a cross - all those scholesesque passes he does are long balls - it's got nothing to do with him being number 9 or number 19.

this is logic.....stop lying!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 8:49pm On Dec 16, 2014
this is rooney's total passes(ALL) image against everton in 11/12 that ended 4-4.

elampiro, if you are not blind, you should be able to see the 3 corner kicks i posted earlier counted as some of his passes.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/1948411_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

it's from this image that opta will now isolate the short passes, long ones, corner, square, forward, backward, key pass, assist, etc.

You like to make up stories from the blues. In any case, it means Rooney played deep. Having 5.4 of such balls per match tells it all where Rooney played.

Also, if he took corner kicks for us as you said, his long balls stats should have been screwed by the high number of corner kicks.

You may just have find some matches where other corner kicks takers were injured in a certain period.

a playmaker is someone who dictates play..moves all about the pitch stringing passes together..and controlling the game. he decides when the team attacks and the tempo and speed with which the game is played, etc

it didn't mean he played deep, it only means you lack the gift of comprehension. long ball doesn't necessarily mean a forward pass, it could be backward or a square pass. a striker can receive the ball with his back to goal, spread the ball to the wing & run into the box. if his pass to the wing is more than 25 yards, then it's a long ball.


Also, if he took corner kicks for us as you said, his long balls stats should have been screwed by the high number of corner kicks.

nani started against everton - according to you, he's one of our wingers taking corner kicks that season. so how did rooney end up taking 3 while nani was on the pitch?

Rooney wasn't taking corner kicks. That meant he was not our regular corner kick taker. That was why I ask you to produce the stats to show that Anderson, Young and Giggs took our corner kicks.

coogar:

He wasn't. Anderson took, Giggs took, Nani took and Young took. Rooney probably took over towards the end of the season when others were not delivery.

You are yet to show any Rooney's accurate corner that is 25 yards.

All you showed were inaccurate 25+ yards corners. This tells me Rooney did not take many corners, else his stats would be screwed.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:18pm On Dec 16, 2014
[b]* Coogar cannot see that Rooney was the initiator of Chicha's goal from midfield. Rooney passed diagonally to Nani.

* When Rooney scored our second goal, he was in the midfield when the ball was passed to the right wing. Then he race into the box when the cross ariived, Bolton cleared, finally United put the ball back and Rooney adjusted his position to score.

* Rooney raced behind Hernadez from the number 10 position to score the 3rd goal.

* When Chicha missed a clear chance, only Young, Chicha and Nani were in the opposition half.

* When Rooney scored the 4th goal, he was far when Go=igg's long ball find Nani. Chicha and Young were the closest players. Chcha was in the box already. Rooney arrived to score from outside the box.

* Giggs was further up the pitch, then Rooney raced froward from our half into the left wing, Rooney raced into final 3rd and gave a yhrough pass to Chicha who missed badly.

* Anderson took a corner kick and a free kick. Yet Rooney was our set piece taker. [/b]

i am not interested in spamming the thread with opta images. i just counted over 25 corner kicks rooney took - spread over that season. if rooney isn't a regular corner taker, heaven help the ones who did. they musta taken 100 each.

rooney took more than young & anderson.

nah, there were accurate ones in the images i have posted. if you have any gift of sight, you would see all rooney's long passes included corners, indirect freekicks & crosses. why are you focusing on corners alone? are crosses or cross-field passes not part of long balls - isn't that rooney's modus operandi?

Abegi, all Rooney's long balls vs Bolton you showed us were forward passes. 4 forward passes with two even landing in Bolton box.

Rooney took corners against Everton because Nani was the only other player on the pitch who could take corner kicks. It wouldnt make sense running drom flank to flank.

The question is, how many accurate long balls did Rooney make from corners? In my experience as a United fan, Rooney doesnt take free kick from the middle of the field. His free kicks were mostly direct shots at goal. These wouldn't be long balls.

If you said he took set plays and still came up with 70%, I think you are making your case worse,

Lastly, in my scattered search, I have seen from whoscored that Young took many corners.

football is fluid - if everyone is permanently stuck to their starting positions then defenders & midfielders won't be scoring.

before the game, i thought city would smash the other team and just go on and win the title.

when city conceded & game was going to the death, i suddenly became hopeful thinking how shïtty city must have been to trail a team that had a man sent off.

at 2-2, i was like ok....
if city win this game from here then they deserved it. then our game ended with a victory at sunderland.....that was when my hopë went 500%.

only for that argentinian midget to dash my hopes in the added time. that game should be investigated. QPR stopped playing when they knew they were safe either way. all the games of that day should have stopped at the same time.

Coogar, in the Sunderland game above Rooney played the false 9. You can't see something was very obvious. He was our worst passer behind Valencia and DDG.

Scholes made 103 passes while Rooney made only 44 passes. That can only be possible when Rooney plays the number 9.

he was the main man, rooney played as the arrowhead, giggs played in the hole. so you see, your assertion has been destroyed.

there are other games such as this too in that season - this is just to prove to you that anyone can cop long passes in a game if they are good at playing them. rooney likes hopeless long passes to the wing - whether he plays as a striker or goalie, you can't stop him from doing it.

You are an Ekwe Sample. Mata abd Evra were seen around defence and midfield. Chicharito was mostly rooted in the final 3rd.

.

That was false 9. Moreover, number 9 can make a few long passes, but not 6 accurate long passes per game in a long run.

Moreover, Rooney was the least passer in that game bar Valencia and DDG. Which confirms he was 9.

coogar:


so if rooney as a striker was making passes to the wings, why is it impossible that he was making the same long passes from a 4-4-2 formation?

You have to consider the number of passes he made in matches and the zone he played. Number 9s don't make seasonal 4th highest passers in teams.

Is that not a 4-5-1?

In any case ZM said Rooney played the false 9 mostly when the formation was changed. United deployed 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 whenever Rooney had to lead.

I just checked. Whoscored recorded it as 4-5-1.

ad.

With the number of long passes, you can tell where he mostly operated. This is not like we parked the bus all season. That would be the only way a number 9 would be playing long passes, when you park the bus and leave two players high up field. To see one playing long passes all season says alot.

With the number of long passes, you can tell where he mostly operated. This is not like we parked the bus all season. That would be the only way a number 9 would be playing long passes, when you park the bus and leave two players high up field. To see one playing long passes all season says alot.

when whoscored said we played 4-4-2 for most of 11/12, you said they didn't know what they are saying. now you are referring to the same website cos it suits your argument?

you are a fraud!
