Make Mourinho no start ibra and Rooney together, because that attack will be slow as f'ck, which begs the question...



Which position will fit rooney in this team that will cause less damage?

raumdeuter:


I can explain some of the cusses to you

"dindindrin" - Foool,

"amukunmeko" - Someone so foolish that he drinks his akamu with his mucus

"oponu" - Foolishh person like airmark

Why would anyone still be comparing Germany with England unless that person is a masochist. 50yrs of consistent EPL inspired England failure while Germany inspired by their Bundesliga players are making their 6th consecutive semi finals, the last time Engerland went that far was 20yrs ago

airmark:
Welcome back sinizia. Last year raumdeuter's boatank was mocked by y'all for falling under messi's boots, this year to avoid repetition, he is flying all over the place. Grand improvement. I hope you saw it.

sinizia:


We've been through this before. England NT is useless but their players dont constitute the bulk of total EPL players. Some EPL players are amongst those doing great for the semi-finalists. The Three Lions are just cursed, dunno why.

Spy360:

The last time you finished out of the top 4, you signed Di Maria, what happened?

Last season I was here when you guys were moaning about Depay, Schneiderlin, Blind, Darmian, Schweini, infact you cried your hearts out about all your signings except Martial. Martial that Giroud is even better than (SMH furiously). Soon what we would be seeing here would be...

Mourinho na bastard, #MouOut

Spy360:

common don't make it sound nice...

He meant Rooney was shitty as a midfielder. He should either be scoring goals or clapping for those who do.

Leyqute:


Why will a world class forward be pushed to the midfield so that 18-year old Rashford can be the top striker?

Please accept that Rooney's days are gone so we can avoid a 10-page debate.

Nihilist:


Elampiro just needs to understand that Rooney's star has faded.

I remember Carragher saying something about Rooney. This guy has been playing football at the very highest level for the past 12 years. Even though his birth certificate says 30, he has the body of a 35 year old man. When you consider that he has had no real serious injury during his career and factor in his lack of fastidiousness when it comes to diet, it's no surprise that his body can no longer perform at the required level

MrTA:

He is quite obviously no longer a world class forward.

GBR1:

Why did you claim he needs to reinvent himself in the forward positions if he's world class? World class players don't need to do anything like that.

Why did Rooney want to play in midfield instead of as forward? You claim it's easier to play in midfield, right? That means Rooney chose to play where it's easier according to you. So why does Rooney find it harder to play as a forward if he's world class?

Your entire logic is in a loop and you have put yourself in a fix. You've been saying nonsense for a long time.

SailorXY:
So na "record books" go score goals for us next season?

Elampiro sef

SailorXY:

If it's 4-3-3 then I don't see the position Rooney is best for as @ current players.

- - - - - - - - - de Gea - - - - - - - -
Valencia - Smalling - Jones - Shaw
- Morgan - - Carrick - - Hererra -
Henrikh - - Ibrahimovic - - Martial

Form dependent tho but this is about the best I can think of

elampiro:


The issue here is not whether his star has faded. The issue is that Mourinho said Rooney will be more useful to him in crowded zone than less crowded midfield.

elampiro:


Same way Drogba gave way to Diego Costa. Henry gave way to Adebayo. World class doesn't mean you have to play till 90 years.

joeace2020:


Looking across Europe...one finds that world class forwards are played where they belong...to strike. But our dear Rooney is one minute a world class forward in brother dayos book n at other times a midfield maestro in the mould of the scholes n pirlos of this world. A world class forward that can't even be left to play there

Leyqute:


Rooney's sharpness in front of goal and concentration has dipped in recent years. At times he's confused with what to do with the ball when in a position he's supposed to make quick decisions, losing possession dangerously. Maybe this is due to LVG or Moye's straight-jacket tactics, I don't know.

However he needs to increase his sharpness to remain competitive and survive. The other day he had to be pushed so the ball could deflect off him into the net.

elampiro:


If you had common sense, you would know that someone shitty as a midfielder cannot play as number 10.

Mourinho meant the midfield is too small for Rooney.

MOURINHO DEFENDS YOUTH RECORD
“I have promoted 49 youth players from Academies. If you want, I can give you that list. Two factors that are very important on these records, because sometimes you promote because you don’t have another chance or so many injuries, you have to bring them in. The second factor is when you are not playing for big targets then it is easier to bring them up. My record of injuries is very, very low. I never promote players because of a need – I do it because of conviction."

SailorXY:

How does this change the fact you finished trophy-less & on another trophy-less span?

lekkie073:
Rooney is about to b disgraced from the team. all things point to it that this is probably his last season with utd.
1. his testimonial match has been arranged.

2. Jose said he doesn't fancy players who tend to be multifunctional. he likes specialists. that means Rooney should go back to his support strike role.m where we all know his physical attributes can't allow again

3. Jose will expect Rooney to play his original role and when he is shyte he would have a justifiable reason to bench him for long periods. and if results keep getting better in those periods, God epp Rooney.

4. Rooney sitting on d bench for long periods will see the writing on d wall and subsequently go to USA or China.

5. Ans Jose managed happily ever after

Rooney doesn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his time is up the earlier he goes,the better for him...
