Odunharry: Manchester United striker Robin van Persie wants to find a way to play effectively alongside both Wayne Rooney and Radamel Falcao. Falcao's deadline-day arrival on a
season-long loan from Monaco left
manager Louis van Gaal with an
embarrassment of riches in the final
third. While the Red Devils boss is yet to find the right mix between the trio - who all started Sunday's shock 5-3 loss to Leicester City - Van Persie insists that they can all play at the same time and work well. "We want to play together," he told
Fox Sports News. "We are constantly
talking to each other [on] how we ca
improve our game together because
everyone feels that [when] we are
together we are stronger. "It's quite interesting to see one of
those conversations because we all
have the target. We want to win
games. We want to share success. I
don't think we have a confidence
issue, if I'm really honest." Van Persie also reiterated his faith in
Van Gaal - despite United having wo
just one of their first six matches in all
competitions under the new boss thi
season. The pair worked together when Van
Gaal was in charge of Netherlands an
the striker is convinced that the 63-
year-old can handle the pressures th
come with the top job at Old Trafford. "I think his numbers speak for itself,"
the forward argued. "He has
succeeded everywhere he has
managed. Everyone believes in his
philosophy as well. "If you look at the players we have
now, the staff we have, the stadium,
the fans - if you add all those things
up, I'm very confident for the future.

chrisley024: If you ask me I will liken RVP and Rooney to Cat and Dog. Both should never be on the pitch at the same cos it's rather a harm to the squad than a gain.

What's the need when Rooney, playing behind RVP, makes a max of 2 passes to him for a whole 90mins since SAF left?. I've noticed Rooney makes more passes to Welbeck or Chicha.

Louis van Gaal has told MUTV that young defenders Paddy McNair and Tom Thorpe are both in the squad for tomorrow's game, with both hoping to make their first appearance for the Reds.

coogar:

rooney finds it difficult to make forward accurate passes. close to 60% of his passes this season have been backwards.

so what do you expect?

chrisley024: I've noticed he's better at long passes than common 4-6 yard passes.

Odunharry:
i still dnt knw why they keep playing him in the number 10 role..
Chaii,i miss Kagawa....though he is nt strong bt his forward passes are awesome..
Moyes killed his career at United,i wonder why he always play him at left wing..No wonder Jorgen Klupp said he always get mad anytime he sees Kagawa play number 11

Odunharry: What do u guys think abt Miranda??

Leyqute:

Who is Miranda? I only see Miranda in PES ML Default team.

mata doesn't earn £300k/week. mata hasn't been overhyped. he's actually underrated. 8 league goals in his last 11 games is the sort of record rooney should have but for where?



if my great grandmother with one eye is put in rooney's position @ man utd for 11 seasons, she would have scored more goals against top teams.

rooney has played 3,000 more minutes than van persie. that's about 33 full matches & he has just 4 UCL goals to show for that huge difference.

rooney is a failure!

Manchester United fans have been voting on the MEN website and the majority think Robin van Persie should be dropped from the team to play West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The 31-year-old striker hasn't found his best form so far this season - despite scoring his first goal against Leicester on Sunday.

MEN writer James Robson agrees with the fans that the Dutchman should miss out against West Ham this weekend. Play the video above to find out why

* Mata can only score against shyte teams.

* Remove the 3 (or more ) assists Rooney gave to RVP from Van Persie's goals.

Remove penalties.

How many UCL goals does RVP have left.

If Rooney had been used as an hyena for United instead of hunting, he would have 60 UCL goals now. He was made to play deep behind strikers since his arrival. Even in Madrid he played deep while RVP, Kagawa and Welbeck played forward. Rooney was marking Di Maria and CR7.

Nistelooy , Saha, Tevez, Berbatov, Chicha, Welbeck and RVP were our arrow heads. Yet Rooney has the record.

Rooney is king.

* Chart 1 below- This was RVP vs Brazil in the world cup. All RVP's passes.

* Chart two is how RVP has declined in takes on.

you & the person that wrote that blog are both soccer illiterates. is that how to plot statistics? using absolute values instead of the 90 metrics? can you not see the number of minutes is different for all the 3 seasons?

elampawa, give up!!!

elampiro:
You are getting poorer with figures and stat analysis. What is happening to you?

That stuff is in %. Percentage of successful takes on over a period- whether in a match, or 10 matches or a season.

elampiro: RVP is finished.

coogar:

see your rooney....

rooney was more useful when his weekly wage was £250k/week. he's been declining every season since 12/13. look at the stats for feck sake.....

elampiro:
I thought the argument was on take on? Now you have pulled out so many parameters.

* Dribbles: Rooney 2014/15 =1.4 per game, 2013/14= 1.4, 2012/13= 1.4

* Can we see for RVP in all the parameters you listed for Rooney?

SailorXY: from match-day to match day, same argument
and e go still continue after tomorrow, i fit bet my container


where does it end? story for the gods
