You are a big olodo.

Aguero wasn’t a striker every time he played. He played as a supporting striker in many games particularly in his debut season.

He was a supporting striker for Balotelli when they pumped United 6-1 at Old Trafford. grin cheesy

Like I told you, the era where you can lie your way around a discussion is well and truly over.

The image below is Aguero vs United(Oct 23, 2011)

I dare you to tell us another lie. grin cheesy
Only one match as support striker or one season. Mtchew

Compared to Rooney who never had even one season as a striker. He was in the wing right from his debut season. Nilsterooy, Smith, Saha, Tevez, Berbatov, Chacharito, Van Person were our strikers. Sometimes Welbeck still still strike.

Unlike Aguero who was mostly the striker throughout his years.

Rooney finished ahead of Aguero in FIFA Ballon D'or rankings. Rooney finished 5th, made world XIs. Aguero cannot talk when Rooney is mentioned.

We are not Igbos. It was a Benin prince during the time of crisis centuries ago, who migrated to form this village and two neighbouring villages- Fugar and Iraokhor. It is a long story. The Etsako, Owan and Esan were originally Beni people until disagreement in the kingdom kept making some prince to go afar. Same with Urhobo, Itsekiri and some others in Delta state

Who is collating the statistics? Opta? You want to us to believe anything from anywhere? Rooney played as a striker in only one season.

Stats are screwed if his AM role is counted as a striker

If you need to shed bitter tears because everything you were made to believe about Rooney has been exposed to be a lie, I could send you boxes of Kleenex.

No one asked you to argue with me in the first place, you jumped into what didn’t concern you and now you are backing out because you couldn’t stand the heat in this kitchen.

Shame on you!

Bringing out one useless article to generalize that Rooney was often sacrificed to accommodate other players is a lie cooked from hell. I have information of how many games Rooney played as a centre forward. In actuality, he played most of his games as a centre forward contrary to what you RooneyBots have been made to believe over the years.

No matter how you shake it, Rooney is about 2 tiers below Aguero. Stats(facts) don’t care about your feelings. The statistics show Rooney played 238 games as the main striker, 165 games as supporting(2nd) striker, 75 games as attacking midfielder, 21 games as left winger, 17 as right winger and 13 games as a central midfielder. grin

After extracting these facts from the web, I filtered the games played as a main striker and compared to Sergio Aguero. The result was even grimmer than the total stats showed. Rooney was found wanting again and again. grin cheesy I know this would come as a shock to you but that’s what my expertise is. The whole point is to rehabilitate all you media sheep that believe Rooney scored fewer goals because of his versatility.

The stats comparing Rooney and Aguero from the same position(main striker) are below.

Aguero(striker) - 207 goals, 52 assists in 296 games.
Rooney(striker) - 104 goals, 55 assists in 238 games.

Drink it and weep. grin cheesy
Everything you wrote is rubbish because Arguero was a striker 100% times he appeared. Rooney was a striker only like 20%

Wayne Rooney has revealed he sacrificed parts of his own game so former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo could excel at Manchester United.

The Everton striker appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football and spoke at length about the Real Madrid star.

The pair played together at Old Trafford for five seasons, winning three Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy in that time.

Rooney even revealed what he said to Ronaldo after the pair's spat at World Cup 2004 - when the England man was sent off against Portugal.


However, Rooney also spoke about the five-time Ballon d'Or winner in high regard - and even revealed that he would sacrifice his attacking role to defend so Ronaldo wouldn't have to.

On Sky Sports, Rooney said: "If you've got Cristiano Ronaldo in your team, you don't take away from him what he's best - and that's being fresh and being ready when win the ball getting to score you a goal.


"If you're asking Cristiano Ronaldo to chase full-backs and run back in you're taking a lot away from his game


"It probably does [take a lot from Rooney's game], but at the time he was the more dangerous player and he's the one who's going to produce that magic which is going to win us games.

"As a I said before we're a team you didn't mind doing that.


"We had a good compromise because me and Tevez would do a lot more work defensively than Cristiano.


"But with Cristiano, you knew he would win us those big games with the big moments. With any other player, you probably wouldn't but with Cristiano, he was that good you had to accommodate him.

"I would gladly do that for him to score big goals and help us win trophies."

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wayne-rooney-reveals-sacrifice-made-11982229.amp




Rooney started scoring more goals when Tevez and Ronaldo left and before RVP came.

How did Ronaldo outscore Rooney in 07/08?

Was Ronaldo a striker?

How did Salah outscore Kane, Lukaku, etc from the wing? Was Salah a striker?

Rooney - shit as a striker
Rooney - shit as a #10.

I peeped the statistically best seasons of selected PL players, as predicted Rooney was at the bottom of the pile. grin cheesy
Rooney mostly played from the wing and Ronaldo from the centre. The front three often switched. Garry Neville said Ronaldo can be asked to start from the right but he ends up in the middle or left because he picked the weakest area of the opposition to attack.

Tevez was our striker. Rooney was playing from the wing in a fluid three. Ronaldo even played in the middle more than Rooney.

Rooney was being used as the sacrifice for Ronaldo.

Even in the following season when Rooney provided the Assist for Ronaldo to score against Inter Milan, at half time SAF had withdrawn Rooney from attack to protect the left back where Inter attacked us in the 1st half. Rooney was acting more like a wingback throughout the 2nd half while Giggs moved closer to the opposition box. It was the first time Rooney overlapped that he picked Ronaldo with a pinpointing cross that resulted in the second goal.

Stats will not tell you all these Same way stats will not tell you that Scholes and Ronadinho did great things.

Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut so that people won’t think of you as being a stüpid fellow.

So that poorly put together image designed by a brain dead blogger is proof that Rooney was better than Aguero? grin cheesy

Unfortunately for you RooneyBots, there are statistics on the internet to silence this myth once and for all that Rooney is a better player than Aguero.


Aguero played half the number of minutes Rooney played in the PL and the Argentine was only 20 goals away from eclipsing Rooney’s entire career goals in England. Aguero arrived in the PL 9 years after Rooney’s debut. cheesy

Aguero averaged a goal every 128 minutes in his entire career to Rooney’s 1 goal every 192 minutes.

SMH!
Did they play in the same team and position? No.

One was being a 9 throughout with the league best AM (Silva) helping him. Another was playing all round supplying RVP passes from 60 yards, etc

How many goals did Aguero score for Argentina.

Anyway, FIFA XI and FIFA Ballon D'or top finish says it all. Good bye

I haven't read much of his posts, but the little I read, the guy is Coogar. Also, he likes the same players and managers he liked before he left, and hates the same players he hated previously. Mourinho will ever be a god to him.

Coogar might be rusty in some areas because there appear to be a period of time he did not argue football. So he can't have all the details as before.

This really confirm your knowledge about football is limited bro you don't watch football bro. All you do write english m not so sure you can even speak with useless sta and insulting everyone who tried to engage you in discourse. Watch live match

Aguero isn't Rooney mate as long as football is concerned. Rooney is 200 times high and shoulder above aguero as football is concern.

As striker you might say aguero is better with goal ratio but as footballer ROONEY 100 times player aguero was/us

This is useless comparison.

Rooney is overall footballer, he attacked, he defend, orchestrated attack, create chances. While aguero spend his time in 18 box waiting to be feed.


Rooney started as a striker but he spent his entire career been played out of position by Manchester United and England.

You wanna bring sta to argue your point ? Ok bring aguero assists compared to Rooney

Learn how to watch live football stop this stat of thing it is valid to judge players career achievement but it is irrelevant when it comes to player abilities bro.


If it is by sta players like Ronaldinho, zidane, iniesta and paul Scholes etc got nothing on other footballers

They probably have a relative who died and is suffering seriously in purgatory. The dead person needs prayers from relatives still living in this world to help atone for his sins so that he can be hopeful of leaving purgatory early.

Unfortunately, this family members will never know. They will never go to Mass, they will not pray. So the dead relative might suffer for decades or centuries in purgatory. Probably, he is in the hot bottom part.

Cc Eph12...... your Man dey Ball.
We are being vindicated. The problem we have is some fans over analyse football. We all see Fred work rate and his tendency for forward play. I remember when people blamed him for losing possession quickly, mostly with his second touch, I said it is because his mind is to go forward as quickly as possible. No matter how the space is tight, Fred wants to take the ball forward. This is his first taught.

That was when Bruno came in. January last year. The run went on for a while, and gave credence to the #SellPogba brigade.
I think even before Bruno arrived, we had beaten Man City at away with 10 men.

I guess also that that period was not the only period we did well without Pogba. I think too, the first time he was out of the team under Moutinho, we started being consistent with good results.

Unnecessary holding on to the ball? Where? How?

Pundits are applauding his passing range throughout the tournament but you blame Pogba for doing what he was supposed to be doing.

France couldn’t progress because Mbappe had a shit tournament. One of you guys alluded that Mbappe is 500 miles ahead of Haaland. grin

[b]Pogba is too good to be playing for Man Ut[/b]d. Some of the line breaking passes Pogba attempted in this tournament were as good as anything I have seen from Xavi or Iniesta. He was cutting defences apart with laser guided passes.
But some of our best times have been without Pogba.
