elampiro:

Wayne Rooney shines again in midfield as Wes Morgan bags vital equaliser
DAVID DE GEA 6.5 – Angrily slammed the tunnel at half-time, perhaps in annoyance at conceding, but did little wrong
.


ANTONIO VALENCIA 6.5 – Did superbly for the opening goal and regularly overlapped but failed to maximise his chances.

CHRIS SMALLING 6.5 – Hit the post with an excellent header that had Schmeichel scrambling and mixed it physically.


DALEY BLIND 6 – Decent set piece deliveries but positionally suspect at times in the second half.

MARCUS ROJO 5 – Left Morgan alone for equaliser and could have conceded a penalty when bringing down Mahrez but got forward well.

MICHAEL CARRICK 7 – Produced a rare enforcer type display with well-timed tackles and his usual early balls forward.

WAYNE ROONEY 7.5 – Good again in his deep midfield role, picking passes through Leicester's line.


JESSE LINGARD 5 – Enjoyed plenty of the ball and brought the best from Schmeichel but wasted possession too often and should have done better when clean through.


MAROUANE FELLAINI 5 – Very lucky his elbow on Huth went unnoticed but Premier League season likely to be over if FA take retrospective action.
ANTHONY MARTIAL 7.5 – Took his goal extremely well and was sharp throughout, linking play and taking on his man repeatedly.

MARCUS RASHFORD 6 – Missing the dynamism that has been such a feature of his amazing entrance to first-team football.

Sir,
Daily mail is the last place to refer to for meaningful analysis.
Rooney never gets criticized on that tabloid even when he commits blunders (e.g granny shagging in 2010).

Kagawa10:

Lol!
Only Carrick sat in the midfield with Rooney and Fellaini infront of him as box-box midfielders!
It was a 3-man midfield sort of.

No, that formation on was wrong. Rooney operated in deep midfield just like the other previous matches. Even when you see 4-1-4-1, there is one who is to play the deeper role while the other operate as number 10.

Gaal confirmed this last time, that Rooney played as a CM. But formation showed 4-1-4-1

Well those folks on our bench don't get paid as high as him so it's very difficult to ignore. This is what happens when you try to build your team around an average player like Rooney. That's why he gets moved so often from one position to another without anyone to permanently place him on the bench and he's the captain FFS. Mediocrity everywhere!

Preach, Brother GBR1, church is in session!!

I know exactly what i'm saying regards Rooney and it's not about having an agenda against him or something. Rooney performance levels has been so abysmal in recent years such average performances are labelled good and extremely frustrating are called average. The English press would only tell lies about how well he played in the midfield because Rooney has to go the Euros and there's no way they want him starting as CF over Kane, Vardy or Sturridge. That should be England's problem not United's.

I have not seen any rating that said Rooney was poor.

No one is saying Rooney is poor.
We are just saying he didn't stand out or do anything spectacular.

On name-recognition basis, Rooney should have been the difference between both sides.
But he didn't do too much with the ball. He can't even lift his free kicks above the wall.

Looking at his pay packet, I would say he is under performing seriously.

I think say na only me bin dey refuse to buy into the Kante hype.

He's a good player no doubt but me thinks Schnederlain has been pretty decent for us so far and deserves to be starting week in week out!

I'd rather we get Mahrez - the dude's sublime touches and skills are simply breathtaking .He also scores and assists consistently.

30m quid shouldnt be too much!

Meanwhile, me thinks it's high time "passenger Mata" left the club. In addition, the following players should leave as soon as the next transfer window opens ...

- Rojo
- Jones the sickbird
- Carrick
- Lingaard

Depay should be given a stern warning to either shape up or ship out!

Still undecided about Bastian

Yes that's the problem. Mediocrity by other players. They never do enough but regardless when they do, they would still get benched for him. LVG has claimed his captain has numerous advantages and would always play. It's frustrating that we are stuck with this guy i swear.

Only Martial rated higher than Rooney.

I knew people would bring the conspiracy of English press. English press are actually most critics of Rooney.

Look at whoscored, only Blind rated higher than Rooney. This is despite Rooney having a Yellow card which means some marks deducted. Even non English sites rate Rooney as one of the best.

I refuse to agree with this. There's no way Rooney can play RB better than Valencia.
Let's say we even go with this as an agreement. When Rooney plays poorly, why does he not get benched like the others?

I can't argue against facts but what you have stated is relative. Most rankings online are saying the whole team didn't play that well so they got poor figures and it's only relative to other poor players that Rooney appeared good.

So this is your defence, after being called out.

Instead of you to apologise you are trying to justify your gaffe.

You are obviously visually impaired because this is not the first time you are displaying your visionlessness. The other day you were still seeing Rooney on the pitch after he had been substituted.

You better go and treat the glaucoma in your brain and the brain tumor that has affected your eyes.

When Rooney returned from his injury, he played the number 10 excellently well. But Gaal rearenaged his game the next match and dropped Rooney deep in midfield to accommodate Lingard in the attacking zone. This was despite Lingard not being able to match Rooney's performance in the attacking zone when he came on.

If Rooney played in the number 10, that is AM instead of CM, I would blame him for not influencing the match enough. But today he played in a zone where he needed to be careful not to go forward. He did his primary duty oustandingly well. He was played out of position.
