Van Gaal, Mourinho and Ole have always played Rashford ahead of the rest. So far he has demonstrated that even when things are not going on well with United, he could still be biting the defence and giving some hope that one of his missed chances can too easily resulted in a goal if he had made a better decision.

But the same cannot be said of Martial, Lingard, James, and the rest, their games flow with the level of the team's performance. If the team is playing well, they shine, if the team is being dominated, these guys cannot be counted on to bring something special from nowhere.

Martial plays well when he is playing with Rashford and he Martial is not stressed from a long series of games. Lingard will cover his right back 100%. James needs plenty of space in front of him to do his running. Greenwood is trusted to score if we keep pressure on the final third.

“It’s interesting, but I can’t see it,” Rooney said when quizzed about the move. “I don’t think someone with Cristiano’s legacy would go to City. I think you have to do what is right for you as a person, for your family. Everybody knows that I could never play for Liverpool or City. That’s obvious, but each to their own.”

The Ebola virus vaccine
Ervebo® (Ebola Zaire Vaccine, Live also known as V920, rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP or rVSV-ZEBOV) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus in individuals 18 years of age and older as a single dose administration. Ervebo® is a replication-competent, live, attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vaccine manufactured by Merck. It is not possible to become infected with EBOV from the vaccine because the vaccine only contains a gene from the Ebola virus, not the whole virus. Specifically, it contains a gene for the EBOV glycoprotein that replaces the gene for the native VSV glycoprotein. Ervebo® does not provide protection against other species of Ebolavirus or Marburgvirus.
https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/clinicians/vaccine/index.html
................................

Chickenpox vaccine became available in the United States in 1995. Each year, more than 3.5 million cases of chickenpox, 9,000 hospitalizations, and 100 deaths are prevented by chickenpox vaccination in the United States.

CDC recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for children, adolescents, and adults who have never had chickenpox and were never vaccinated. Children are routinely recommended to receive the first dose at age 12 through 15 months and the second dose at age 4 through 6 years.

Noooooooooo!

Vaccine like medicine ke?

Let me explain it like I'd explain to my 5yr old nephew

Medicine is a reactive measure. It means it's taken to fight something

Vaccines are proactive. They are taken to try and prevent something

Medicines seek out to destroy the enemy that has already entered your body whereas vaccines build and train the armies in your body so that when the enemy comes they know how to kill them before they cause too much damage.

The vaccine (training) may not be effective if your body is too weak already or the enemy changes tactics (new variant).

I hope this explains it for you

By the way, there is no Ebola vaccine or chicken pox vaccine, guy are you serious??
You no know book. I did not say vaccine is a medicine. I said vaccine is like the medicine that goes into your body. Immunization is the process. So stop trying to talk about immunization in this case. Corona vaccines don't wiork.

Just to educate u. There is a difference between vaccination and immunization.
Vaccination is just the process of injecting vaccines. It is one thing to inject, it's another to inject properly and it's another thing entirely for the body to react to the vaccine and mount immunity which is the actual immunization.
Vaccines are meant to achieve immunization but not all vaccinations eventually result in immunization.
In fact, u can achieve immunization without vaccination.
Seek for knowledge if u don't know something.
You dont know what you are saying. Stop confusing yourself. Vaccine is like the medicine. It has to work in your body. Like the yellow fever vaccine, ebola vaccine, chicken pox etc. All work. But Coronavirus vaccine doesn't work. Chikena. It is just a tool of global control.

In many places in Europe, it is now mandated to enter church, club, restaurant, gym, etc. That is vaccination certificate. I live in Europe

People should get enlightened. The fact that one is vaccinated doesn't mean one can't be infected. It means ur body will be more capacitated to fight it better than those not vaccinated.
People still come down with tuberculosis, meningitis despite vaccination.
Moreso, there is vaccination and there is immunization. U may get vaccinated that is your body is inoculated with the vaccine but ur body might not generate the immunity for one reason or the other. So not all that are vaccinated are immunized.
Another fact is that only people that are negative for the virus are the ones to be vaccinated. So many already had the infection but not aware because they were not symptomatic and still got the vaccines. For this set of people, the vaccination is just like a placebo.
This is a lie. Vaccines are meant to provide immunity. Nevertheless, people who are critically ill in Israel where mass vaccinated happened most earlier in the year are those who are fully vaccinated

Yes... possible!

Principles of Vaccination, not only CoVID19, have been explained over and over again..

Vaccines doesn't not confers immunity against getting infected, NO...Vaccines only prepares your immune system to fight viruses, to reduce their virulence or potency against you.

So, your chances of getting complications, hospitalisation and death is greatly reduced.

This is how vaccines works...From Chicken Pox , to Hepatitis to CoVID19..it's same principle.

Two left legged DMs did not work even when we had the possession at 0-0. McTominany would have brought something different from Matic. Matic can't even match the physicality of Southampton players. His passes are good while positioned on his left, but again what is the use acting as a 3rd central defender while we want to play out from the back. He sits between Maguire and Linderlof once we want to pass out from the back.

Martial is heavy. Hope we are not going to have another Anderson's situation in our hands?

Stop unsettling the waters.

Ferdinand was talking about 10/11 preseason when one of Berbatov or Hernandez played ahead of Rooney. Nobody is disputing Rooney’s position in 10/11 season.

It’s funny how Rooney’s position always changes according to the narrative. Gary Neville the other day said Rooney was the best centre forward in the history of Man Utd. He didn’t say he was the best #10.

To add to the confusion, Rooney told LVG he loved playing as #9 because he scored plenty of goals in the period he played there.

Few years later, he told BT Sports he hated playing as #9 because it was the most difficult position on the pitch with plenty of centre halves giving him a tough time. He also said he loved to get more involved in the build up.



You are obviously lying here.

Solskjaer and Saha played in a 4-4-2 after Yorke/Cole we’re offloaded. Ruud and Forlan also played in a 4-4-2.

Dead this argument.
SAF change star doesn't mean that there will not be one or two occasions when formation change. Also, the preparer of your formation chart might not be so enlightened to know that one striker could be asked to function as a number 10 behind another. Welbeck is a striker but functioned many times as AM behind Chicharito. Under Moyes, Van Persie was used as 10 in one match behind Chicha. This kind of your chat will not know that on that day, RVP was playing the number 10

I think the use of English is a fat challenge for you.

Rooney said here that 08/09 and 09/10 were the two seasons he played as a lone striker.

There are other formations where you can have a strike partner like 4-4-2, 4-3-1-2, 4-1-2-1-2, etc. The two strikers in these formations are centre forwards.

Rooney at Everton was in a 4-4-2 formation. Rooney in England was in a 4-4-2 formation in Euro 2004. Rooney at Man Utd in several seasons was played in a 4-4-2 formation. So why are you arguing he’s a #10?

Between Wood and Barnes at Burnley, who’s the #10? What about Anelka and Drogba(09/10 season), who was the #10? How are you such a football fanatic but you have no understanding of football formation? cheesy grin cheesy grin
Did you see this? Ferdinand added: "We spoke when we came back to pre-season. I remember speaking to you and you said, 'I'm going to speak to the manager and say I want to play as a number ten.'

Also, Ferguson said he stopped playing two strikers when he bought Nilsterooy. He said it was the need to change from the traditional way that he offloaded Yorke and Cole for Nilsterooy. Remember, Rooney played with Nilsterooy, so they were not playing as two strikers based on what SAF said.

Does he owe you or you miss him so much you want to fück him?

Your comments are littered with anti-Pogba rhetorics. He’s slow, United win more games without him and other nonsense you managed to conjure in your head.

The fact is - Pogba is United’s best player that is being mismanaged because of his physique. If you are black, tall, strong, etc - the media tend to judge you by being a defensive powerhouse, instead of being a creative outlet.

The long and short of this story is - Pogba has shut you up.

Hopefully, it’s forever. cheesy grin
You are Coogar. You argue exactly as you did in 2013 to 2015 or thereabout.

- The Rooney argument is exactly the same. He was a striker and must be compared to strikers only with goals scoring.
- Mourinho is defended t´with all your life
- DDG must never be criticized.
- You insults

Pogba was doing that all summer at the Euros. This is why it’s a waste having him play next to Fred as a DM. Get him up the pitch and find an elite DM.

Elampiro wants him sold though. Elampiro wants a man that can produce 4 open play assists in a single PL game sold. grin
Coogar, show me where I said he should be sold. He is not consistent, that is his problem. He is like Anthony Marshal. They play well when they are fresh, but as the fatigue of the long season sets in, it becomes hard.

I am not your pastor.

Do the research yourself and tell me what you found.

Fact remains Rooney is a striker, started out as a striker before he was deemed not good enough and he was moved back a little to accommodate those that have a natural ability for scoring.
Rooney was not Everton striker, so how did he start as a striker? Even for the three lions at that time, he was not the striker. He always played as a number 10 behind another striker. Rooney himself did not see himself as a striker to begin with. He was being forced to play close to the goal because of his scoring ability. Rooney has confirmed he played as a number 9 in only two seasons. This has been my argument since joining this sports section in 2013.
.................................................
"Them two seasons (2008-09, 2009-10) were the two seasons I played as a number nine on my own," Rooney said on BT Sport.

"I played there in and out in different games but I played for the whole season in them two years.

"I actually didn't enjoy the games as much. I've always been a player that wants to get involved in the game and it is something which Marcus will learn over next few years.


"It took me seven or eight years to learn how to play there and to learn to play with your back to goal. It's the hardest position to play. You've got big centre-backs coming through back of you and you're on your own.

"I weren't enjoying it, but it was my best two years of scoring. I remember coming off the pitch and scoring two goals and saying, 'I was awful. I didn't play that well today. I didn't have that many touches of the ball.

In 2009/10, Rooney hit an impressive 26 goals in the Premier League and won the PFA Player of the Year. Only Didier Drogba notched more in the top flight that season, but Rooney wasn't best-pleased.

Ferdinand recalled his long-time teammate asking Sir Alex Ferguson to change his position going into the next campaign.

Ferdinand added: "We spoke when we came back to pre-season. I remember speaking to you and you said, 'I'm going to speak to the manager and say I want to play as a number ten.'

"I was sitting there going, 'But you scored 30-odd goals this season Wazza.' But you weren't enjoying your football and I couldn't get my head around that."

Rooney did end up moving further back at United, before going on to return to boyhood club Everton in 2017.

After a spell stateside with D.C United, he finished his career at Derby County, who he has just kept in the Championship on the final day after being appointed manager in January.

This is amateur talk.

Ronaldinho was actually more prolific than Cesc Fabregas. You are looking at Cesc’s volume of goals and assists without considering the number of minutes played.

Ronaldinho scored 1 goal in every 217 minutes in his career, Cesc scored a goal in every 417 minutes in his career. Ronaldinho is twice as prolific as Fabregas despite playing as a left wing forward at his peak.

Opta muddled up the roles of Striker, SS, AM, RF, LF in the earlier years. Even as at 2010, 2011, they muddled up FW, SS, AM roles as all forwards in most of the times. Opta evolved over time. What opta did before 2012 is that when it registered a player as a striker in the beginning of the season, it keeps counting FW for that player irrespective of the teams formation in matches and how the player was used. Same way, if it counts a player as an AM, it goes on auto mode.

Opta has evolved. If it were those days, it would still have been registering KDB as a winger in every match
