Senior players like Rooney and Carrick that should lead by example are not better

chrisley024:
Anthony Martial injured in warm-up. Ander Herrera replaces him.



What sort of warm- up they do

Bassee:
Jonathan met 5000km of motorable roads when he came in, when he left we had 25,000km of motorable roads. No be to talk nonsense be am, Buhari, shey you've budgeted 200 trillion for roads, by 2017 Nigerians go know how far.




P/S Those quoting me asking where the roads are, That you choose not to see them doesn't mean they aren't there. Afterall we were all in this country when your Minister of Transport said that in his 8 year rule as governor of rivers state he never knew a rail line passed through his backyard. You choose what you see, my friends!!!

Pidggin:
This man is tormented by GEJ

HIGHESTPOPORI:
If Jonathan could construct the Benin Ore road with Paltry 18Billionaira,let's see how many Federal roads Buhari would repair with 200Billionaira

Empress Njamah started an unexpected war when she posted this throwback photo of herself and colleague Rukky Sanda.

Rukayat (real names) who is now light skinned was unrecognizable in the photo as fans began to wonder if she is truly the one. The fact that it was Rukky in the photo was not questionable as her colleague tagged her in the photo.

It is not the first time that the actress will be accused of bleaching.

One is an attacker though while the other is a defender. Not to mention that Martial higher pass percentage should have offset his turn overs compared to Rojo's pass percentage.
Also, Martial was far better than Rojo in that match.
That's why I don't take their rating serious which is based on the stats. Viewing the game is what is most important.

Kagawa10:
You still haven't answered as to why Rojo was rated higher than Martial in the f.a cup replay match.

Kagawa10:
Scholes was creating chances with his over the top passes to the forwards from which Rooney only had to lay off. Same way he did to Valencia. Valecia best form even coincided with Scholes's best form or Giggs' when he played in the midfield.
And It wasn't a surprise that Rooney and Rvp suddenly became strangers and lacked any cohesion the moment Scholes was out of the team because without Scholes over the top passes, all Rooney could only do is make his stup!d long pass to the wing. Even Fergie had to drop him or put him on the wing to accommodate Welbeck and RVp partnership in the forward role.

Kagawa10:
Lol at your use of Ronaldo and Messi topping the stat chart of their team when they are the focal players of their team.
Also, all you wrote are just conjectures with no basis, you aint their staff by the way and every stat in that site is put there because they are all useful in the rating of players.
Why don't you tell us why Rojo had higher rating than Martial in the F.a cup replay match?

Kagawa10:
Don't say that again.
I still remembered the moment Scholes tired out in the second half of our league season win in Fergie last reign, Rvp also stopped scoring due to the lack of over the top long passes Scholes do fashioned out to him in the 1st half of that season.

Kagawa10:
Lol!
Are you saying covering most ground doesn't have positive effect in the team? Or pass accuracy?
Better go siddon!

Kagawa10:
Out of about 10-15 long passes Rooney makes per game, only 1-2 slices the opposition open as opposed to the ginger master, Scholes long passes which are always delivered to the winger in acres of spaces.
The truth is Rooney long ball are mostly predictable and only his fanbois would say otherwise.

lekkie073:
noted...dats y u be my man u must be a good onyekuzi

lekkie073:
ok...am new

I need proof.....and dont tell me to start digging a 2000+ page thread for answers or else ...

lekkie073:
it would be quite difficult to agree to this unless u have proof dat u r one of their statisticians

Kagawa10:
Lol!
Ofcourse you would defend whoscored because otherwise, your love, Rooney would look bad for the rating constantly given to him for his needless predictable long ball!
Continue! More power to your elbow.

Kagawa10:
Wetin this one dey talk.
Whoscored rating is based on some unnecessary stats. Points are given for stats like Pass accuracy even if it was sideways like that of Herrera, long passing even it were unnecessary and predictable like that of Rooney, distance covered etc and all dem unnecessary stats and so-on.
I only visit there to check the stats of players and not their rating.
I'm sure Rojo was rated higher than Martial in the westham F.a cup match for his distance covered, endless crosses, pass accuracy etc. As a matter of fact, whoscored tends to rate player who tends to run more on the pitch for their distance covered. Doesn't matter whether they were useless or not while doing so.

SailorXY:
I'm not saying anyone should win on a platter of gold. My point is that nobody actually won the game it ended in a draw with Chelshit not exactly needing the point. Everyone could have moved on after the final whistle as usual but there were great hallelujah shouts from every corner.
Anyway e get as e be to me tho

SailorXY:
But on another note, why did Chelshit carry the last night game on their heads like ewa agoyin & being all cheesy wheezy @ full time? It wasn't as if they were playing for anything really...

chrisley024:
Mehn! Spurs is full of kids that can't withstand pressure. A title contender getting 2 straight draws. Hahaha

Pochettino my äss

Kagawa10:
And where was Martial? On the wing of course!
That said! I don't know which game you were watching that had Rooney recovering ball 10 times. You probably mistook him for Kante who made 5 tackles and 6 interception in the game.
Also, Rooney heatmap wass mostly concentrated just outside the 18 yard box while the change of tactic in the second half was the reason Fellaini was often found in the box.
The reality is Rooney was predictable with his constant stup!d long passes to the wing and contributed little despite seeing more of the ball. He was just useless yesterday! There's no 2 way about it.

Kagawa10:
I disagree!
Rooney saw more of the ball because the forwards, the midfielders and even right back constantly passed to him.
Rooney game was to receive the ball from Carrick to ping at Valencia who would then cut back for Lingard who would pass back to Rooney and the cycles continues, probably to Rojo the next time!
Fellaini on the other hand had fewer touches yet still made more impact with his movement and quick passing which were causing havoc for Leicester. It was only in the second half that the Lvg tried to make use of his aerial prowess by pushing him further forward and subsequently, we lost our foothold in the midfield as a result of that.
Fellaini was our best midfielder, then Carrick. Rooney was slow, lethargic and just too predictable with his constant long pass to the wing.
Also, Fellaini didn't play the whole minutes!
