All of you criticising rooney, how many times did the ball get to rooney in the box? Abeg let's cut the guy some slack

how many times did rooney make a run into a position where the ball can be played to him?
do you think the chances just arrive for the top strikers in the world? they isolate the last man and they make themselves available to receive through passes......rooney didn't even make himself a focal point of the attack, he ran away from that position to hustle the ball in the midfield. that is not how to play as a forward.

hahahaha.....
apart from valencia that arrived late to the party, rooney was the worst player of the pitch. an armoured tank would turn faster than rooney - if LVG does not sort out this striker problem, we would be lucky to score up to 40 goals all season. we were very poor in the final third.
His fans should come and say what he offers this team as a CF.

Holdup poor, movement poor, passes poor, finishing poor. They should lecture me on that cos I don't know.

I still don't think rooney is to be blamed, we didn't move the ball forward and it was getting frustrating for our lone striker, he had no choice but to come back and look for the ball, we were always going to the flanks and walker wasn't giving young any chance to make his crosses into the box, mata on the other hand was always trying to drift to the middle but couldn't get through and ended up going back, as a lone striker what would you have done


I'll fault rooney for his sluggishness today and nothing else

He is bad. We're not just going to know how bad until we get a top striker.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 4:37pm On Aug 08, 2015
Good players, terrible combination!
LvG will probably be the last man on earth to notice we move the ball faster & with more purpose when Herrera is in the side. It took him forever last season, I can't bet against the same this season.

This is the Rooney to lead our line to EPL glory? Couldn't even press from the front, something Hernandez does with little fuss.

Romero did very well, made only one mistake so I don't get the noise.

Memphis should do his thing in his best position, no need experimenting. It's just Young, Memphis, Januzaj & Pereira for the wings - let them compete.

Smalling MOTM easily. Rooney/Valencia flops of the match!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ocephraim(m): 4:37pm On Aug 08, 2015
Cool 3points....

Romero looks like he ll be just fine

You just have to love the fight.Svhweini and Schneiderlin brings to the middle of the park

Darmian should please stay injury free

Not sure whether its Young thats pure fraud going foward and just a good defensive winger...or its Walker who had a fantastic game

I think a Smalling Rojo patnership is wat we should look forward to this season

Depay's confidence is lovely

Rooney is a fishhead.. The sooner he realises he is a striker not a midfielder the better for all. he is that good and can give us the goals we want... LVG shouldnt shut out Hernandez either, would have loved to see him go today.

Cool start. The team will gel and get better with.time

Not a bad start against a consistent top 6 team.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 4:54pm On Aug 08, 2015
If we are going for a 4 2 3 1 formation dis season the two CMF(s) should be Morgan and Herrera with the CAM postition giving to mata.
During the man.u vs spurs game i expect L.V.G to move depay to the left wing, with mata occupyin de hole nd young moving to de right side (dat is when walker started getting the better of young) nd i expect de switch (due to depay being a better dribler dan young) but the stoopid mr.plato just removed memphis and persisted with young on the left wing, sumtimes i wonder if mr.plato is partially blind.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 5:03pm On Aug 08, 2015
I still think there is a certain calmness Arrick brings to the side and his passing is still top notch,both short and long range.

But we need strikers. Rooney keeps falling back to join in the play and it's going to affect his output come season ending.

People don't know what they are saying. Kane received service more than Rooney but couldn't do anything. Rooney was in his position in the first half, when there was no much service, he had to drop occasionally. Memphis was also playing on same line with Rooney which made things difficult.

It's only first match of the season, you guys are acting funny with this too early criticism

Many players are not even 70% of their fitness level yet. Did you see the other matches at 3.00*clock?

I didn't want to talk about Rooney this season but you guys have kicked start it.

His overall play was okay, except the missed chance. Even Harry Kane went out of position. CFs mustn't be there all the time. Last season, Falcao went out of position several times, even RVP. Everyone must not be like Chicha.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 5:21pm On Aug 08, 2015
I won't lie, Rooney didn't do well today He should've scored before walker closed him down. Carrick,and Memphis didn't do anything for me. Blind na suspect for that defence. MoTM is between Darmain and Smalling. I miss Fellani.

Yeah, problem is that we now have a DM[Schneiderlin] which is his position(Carrick) so Carrick has to be more mobile and we know he lacks that.

he should be given a try though I don't know what happens to them when they join the national team.

I don't think rooney had one shot on target.
He hasn't convinced anybody he deserve to start with his performance today.

Young mostly over hit his crosses that there was nothing even Peter Crouch would have done.

He doesn't pin point his crosses. Last season, he would cross 10 before one can connect while Di Maria might have a bad game but got far more of his crosses connected.

Today Young had 0/6. I think Darmian had 1/2 connected.
