Oasis007:


Elampiro is so happy Rooney is not in the Game! Cos the blame would have been pinned on him!

Oasis007:
He's not a bad Defender, but kinda tired of his persistent Injury!

Oasis007:


So someone is still expecting Jone to prove himself?!

We ain't Arsenal, hence we don't have to make another Diaby out of him!

Oasis007:


To be realistic, it's over for him as a Player! He should follow Hargreaves Footstep by hanging up his Boots at the end of this Campaign!

chrisley024:
@elampiro, where's your guy Jones? Probably got injured while on his bed

Jose wouldn't have travelled with Ibra. He's old, needs rest and only a game per week.

Oasis007:
List of Squad Members for the Europa Match



Luke Shaw and Valencia are rested! Rojo and Mensah are likely to start as LB and RB respectively!

Lingard is honorably left out too! Same as Mkhitaryan (because of injury though).

ROONEY is rested or deliberately left out?!

LongD:
Good Afternoon fellow United fans, I just joined nairaland yesterday and I have been reading through this thread . I would look to commend some people like sailorxy Oasis007 Diademk07 elampiro eph12 e.t.c for their contribution in this thread. I hope to also be part of the family and contribute Like u guys

eph12:
Really? For which match abeg?


Anyway it's useless having this argument. Na to just watch as things unfold. Rooney can have that spot if Miki isn't ready yet.

OEmperor:
You can't rate someone with their goals and assists only. Performance also matters

eph12:
Yea his energy is amazing but end product is shit. He can't be in that position and average less than 1 key pass. It's a waste of space and energy.

SailorXY:
Abeg make una die this matter.

The seasons Rooney boasts the best player/top scorer since 2013 has seen the club win nada, that should tell us something.

Danhumprey:
Fallacy! Big fallacy!




The current Rooney is the most useless player we currently have. A waste of space for a number 10.



Yes! I said it.

Odunharry:
Elampiro De Gae is our most important player next is Rashford.
Abeg no put Rooney for the matter.

Danhumprey:
Mkhitaryan had a bad day in the first competitive match he is starting for us, and already you want to crucify him? Even comparing him with Rooney who has been serving us sh!t for more than 5years?




Haba elampiro. small small na.

eph12:
Do you know Fellaini was asked to play furthest of the 3 midfielders? And that was why balls were being looped into the sky at every given opportunity. Pogba was poor in decision making though as he always wanted to make things happen by himself but most times he was too deep for that

eph12:
Sure. I believe it was between him and Smalling or Valencia? Oh I forgot Falcao

eph12:
So how can you say Ali was asked to play furthest when Rooney is in that team? That he was finding his way up there to make things happen does not mean he was asked to play furthest. His finding himself up there was creating holes in the midfield

Danhumprey:
elampiro, however you look at it, sailorxy was spot on correct.

The truth is, Rooney has no use, no reason to be in the starting lineup. He adds nothing to our play, he's taking up useful space in the team.

If Mourinho won't play a 3-man midfield where does well, then he should bench Rooney and free up the number 10 position for Pogba, Micki,et al.




Simple.

eph12:
Who were the midfielders for England in that competition please? Who partnered Dele?

eph12:
When you have a player that has all the energy but efficiency is zero something is wrong. It makes that player look like candidates for average teams. I am not blaming Rooney for yesterday so don't think it's about last match. Hw has not been efficient over the last two years and everyone knows this not just nigerian fans on NL. And that's why the debate is still on even in England as to where they can fix Rooney.

eph12:
The purpose of the three man midfield is to make Pogba further up the pitch and not Rooney

SailorXY:
it's not about favorites. I believe when you identify a problem in your team as a manager & you spend with intentions of fixing that problem, then your should give them priority cuz the problem was there with the current players. Time & time again we have failed to do this starting from Kagawa (I know SAF couldn't pass up the RvP opportunity so I can make the exception).

This thing whereby we barely give new players opportunities to adapt & see how they solve issues why they were bought in the first place is terrible.

Last term the defense was good but we were creating next to nothing without Martial/Rashford. We bring in attacking reinforcements & deploy them wrongly or on the bench cuz their positions clash with Rooney? Mehn fück that!

dopeJemi:
Elampiro!!! whose misplaced pass cause the goal? Who developed cold feet one on one against the goalkeeper?

dopeJemi:
You must be a Country fool, what was rooney's involvement in that game against swansea, tell me what led to Swansea's goal and when you are done with that, tell me if you blamed rooney or not
