88 - RVP
88 - falcao
86 - rooney.
As at what date?

Link?

How come Rooney was shortlisted as one of the best strikers in the world while RVP was over looked by FIFA worldwide votes leading to the ballon d'or?

.........
The FIFA FIFPro World XI is decided by the players, for the players. It involves votes from tens of thousands professional footballers worldwide. They select one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.FIFPro and its national affiliates are responsible for gathering votes from professional footballers worldwide. It is the only global award that truly represents the views of those who play the beautiful game. For more information on the voting procedure can be found on the FIFPro website.

The forward shortlist is: (home country / club)

Sergio Aguero (Argentina / Manchester City FC)
Gareth Bale (Wales / Real Madrid CF)
Karim Benzema (France / Real Madrid CF)
Diego Costa (Spain / Chelsea FC)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal / Real Madrid CF)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden / Paris Saint-Germain FC)
Robert Lewandowski (Poland / FC Bayern München)
Lionel Messi (Argentina / FC Barcelona)
Thomas Muller (Germany / FC Bayern München)
Neymar (Brazil / FC Barcelona)
Marco Reus (Germany / Borussia Dortmund)
Arjen Robben (Netherlands / FC Bayern München)
Franck Ribery (France / FC Bayern München)
Wayne Rooney (England / Manchester United FC)
Luis Suarez (Uruguay / FC Barcelona)

The final FIFA FIFPro World XI will then be announced at the FIFA Ballon d’Or award ceremony at the Kongresshaus in Zurich on 12 January 2015. During the televised ceremony, the winner of the FIFA Ballon d’Or for the best player of 2014 and the winner of the FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year 2014 award will also be revealed, while the FIFA World Coach of the Year awards for men’s and women’s football will be presented for the fifth time.

in other words - we had an unbeaten run going on in rooney's absence - he came back and dashed us a loss at the etihad. cheesy rooney is bad luck.

I just find the time to check sharp sharp.

Everton, West Brom, Chelsea. Coogar said we won all. Yet we won one.

Thank God it was when Rooney returned we went on a winning run from his second match after the game at Ethihad. If the run had started earlier, Coogar for no let us hear word.





Mr. Coogar, you need break. This goof of yours is unpardonable. Your hate for Rooney don screw your thinking....

How many people who shout water water here do wash their hands with soap and water afterwards? When I discover someone uses water, I immediately become irritated with anything the person touches, particularly food. There will always be some water-shit left in the hands if no thoroughly washed with soapd and enough water.

rooney's 12 seasons at old trafford - never led the assist chart, never topped the scorer's chart and he's played with the best of the best players in those seasons. cheesy
When will RVP top assists chart in UCL? When will he top goals chart in world club cup? When will he win most valuable player in the world club cup? When will he score a UCL final goal? cheesy

rooney didn't play against everton - that's why i didn't include it. rooney fired blanks against city & southampton. RVP scored 2 goals against southampton.
And you saw him against Chelsea? cheesy The one RVP scored, you added, the one he didnt score you deleted. Ukwu!

Southampton is a middle team table, they finished 8th last season. Even at that Rooney was not match fit.

coogar:
rooney couldn't have scored against chelsea - he has the poorest goal return against them. RVP always räpes chelsea. he's bagged a hatrick against em in the past at SB.
As a lone striker abi?

coogar:
you have been cut & diced.....
rooney's poor football skills were responsible for our slow start in the season. if he was any good, we shoulda gotten 6 points in the first 3 games.
RVP came and worsened the situation, abi. If It were RVP who started the season, we would have 0 point in 3 games. grin

RVP will dream to be what Rooney is in football. RVP may retire without a UCL. He has never been listed among FIFA pro XI. He has never top assist in UCL.

Goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard answers quickfire questions on his Manchester United team-mates...

Best dressed player
I would say Ashley Young. He makes a big effort most days.

Funniest team-mate
Ander Herrera. Even though I don’t always understand what he says, he is a funny guy!

Best new signing for banter
Ander, definitely.

Best singer
I think it’s Phil Jones, even though Wayne would try to claim this title, but at our last Christmas party he kicked himself off the throne! [laughs]

Best dancer
Phil Jones again – if he gets on the dancefloor, the whole party is saved.

Biggest prankster
Hmmm... now we haven’t got Rio [Ferdinand] here and Quinny [Quinton Fortune] isn’t in the locker room anymore… I’d probably say Darren Fletcher.

Team-mate with the best music taste
Ashley Young again or Tyler [Blackett] – Tyler does well.

coogar:
fatigue!
it's worse than injury. it's kept fellaini out of the team for 2-3 games now.



rooney did nothing in the summer. how many games did he play? the last group game was a formality sef. england was already out of the tourney. so why did he need any rest like RVP that played till the eve of the final?




cesc leads the assist stat playing beside matic. how come rooney isn't leading or close to the top playing beside carrick? grin



it's called an individual award - not a team award. suarez's golden boot got him the barca deal.



ronaldo won it playing from the wing. suarez won it without being a lone striker. since then(09/10), tevez, berbatov, etc have all won it without making excuses.

why is rooney such a poor footballer? grin
You are no longer talking abeg,

Fellaini has fatigue + virus + rib injury. You are not current at all. You dey yan fallacy. Berbatoveand Tevez were our top strikers with Rooney supporting them.

Jus go sleep.

how many did rooney score against southampton? we have played against chelsea, liverpool, southampton, city & arsenal.....(top 5 last season + top 5 currently) and rooney has only 2 goals to show for it. RVP has double that amount. grin

you are not making sense.
Everton finished 5th last season. Rooney did not play against Chelsea and Everton. RVP did. What a biased comparison. Even against Southampton, Rooney was not fit.




Coogar, go and sleep now because you are not talking. grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:50am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
rooney was fit - he had a full preseason. RVP wasn't fit, he didn't even make the preseason. he had to be rushed back to fitness after a tiring world cup campaign for country.
Did RVP have any injury in te world cup? NO.

Rooney rested two weeks before preseason. RVP rested two weeks before the charity shield weekend.

so?

coogar:
shouldn't he have more assists? cesc - the assist leader in the league plays from which position? grin
Is Cesc a United player? Is Cesc a striker? I am telling you Rooney's stat from striking position for Man United.

coogar:
RVP's standard is higher than rooney's. even my pet dog knows that. the day rooney wins a golden boot in this league, cameron would declare a month's holiday for everyone. grin
Good boot is nothing. What did golden boot do for RVP at Arsenal? What about Suarez?

If Rooney was played as a lone srriker as RVP has been used over the years, Rooney would have won golden boot every season since 2009/10.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:40am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
and he scored only 2 goals in those 5 apps as a striker. how many would he have scored in 15 apps, simple arithmetic says about 6 goals. way less than RVP has managed.
How many did RVP score that period? You are talking about our first four matches when the team lacked any direction.

The fifth one was when he just returned from injury and he could barely move.

Yet he has about three assist from the position in addition to the goals.

coogar:
as a back-to-back golden boot winner, of course he would say he's struggling. however, RVP struggling = rooney's excellence.

RVP said he struggled at the world cup in spite of his 4 goals for holland. rooney scored only 1 goal in 3 different world cup appearances and he got a captain's band as a reward. grin
You have shifted goal post. This aspect is reserved for another day.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:33am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
RVP had already left the pitch before we switched to counter-attack. there's nothing to say he wouldn't have scored if he was kept on the pitch when the arsës decided to throw caution to the wind.
4 against QPR, he didnt score one for 90+ minutes.

coogar:
falcao - 1.5 stars? and whoscored rated him above RVP in theirs. this is why these player rating ish is nonsense. it's a popularity contest.
At least, none above Rooney. It's still fair comparison of ratings.

coogar:
so it's now about passing - not interceptions and ball recoveries? cheesy if i give you an example of rooney as a striker making more passes than any of our defenders or midfielders - does that mean rooney played defensively? cheesy grin
You will have to back it with heat map or/and players position.

coogar:
and rooney hasn't played in the striking position at all this season? before falcao was fit, who partnered RVP upfront? louis saha? grin
Rooney has only played in centre forward 5 times in 15 appearances. All as a co-srtriker. RVP has played all as striker and sometimes lone striker.

coogar:
RVP has performed reasonably well this season. with our dodgy midfield & injuries to key players, the chances have been far & few in between.
I hear you. Even RVP has agreed he has been struggling.

we killed liverpool & it was 50-50 against arsenal. arsës were great in the first half but we took the second half from them.

all the chances liverpool had was because evans had a mission to give liverpool a free goal. cheesy
We were dominated completely in both games. We all acknowledged it here. DDG was the saving grace. We beat Arsenal on the counter. Liverpool by our clinical finishing.


coogar:
rating RVP high like how?
yesterday's game or throughout the season?
Yesterday's game.

http://www.goal.com/en/match/tottenham-hotspur-vs-manchester-united/1703871/ratings

One more rating: RVP two stars. Rooney 3 1/2 star over 5. Falcao 1 1/2 star. Mata 4 stars. Young 3 1/2


coogar:
and falcao made more interceptions & recoveries than carrick - does this mean falcao played behind carrick too? i can show you which area of the pitch falcao made these recoveries. it will shock you & your dodgy stats back to amodu's tactics board. grin
What is Falcao's heat map and player position?

How many passes did he make? Midfielders or/and defemnders make the highest passes. Strikers usually the least. If Falcao did not come out as one of our top passers, your arguments is for the gutters.

This is not bear palour.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:09am On Dec 30, 2014
Coogar, do you realize that Van Persie has been our top striker this season? Rooney is playing in midfield? RVP has more playing time?

You shouldn't have brought them in comparison in terms of goals. Because at this time, you cannot win.

RVP should be on 15 goals already.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:05am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
but he made 2 interceptions? isn't that your point? grin falcao made 8 recoveries too....are you sure he didn't play beside de gea? cheesy
You are just distracting the main argument. You brought it up that Carrick made 5 or 6 recoveries, I showed you Rooney made 8.

Rooney beats Carrick in virtually all things done in the deep.

coogar:
whoscored ratings are shyte!
RVP didn't have the best of games but he's bailed us out in plenty of games where the general performance was shytë!

he gets a pass - you only see rooney shining when we dominate games. in games where we cannot get hold of the ball, rooney becomes anonymous.
Rooney scored at Emirate. He scored against Liverpool.

Did we dominate?

I am yet to see anyone rating RVP high. Goal.com, etc
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:56am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
no, i am saying your point is null & void. why is falcao making more interceptions than rooney? does that mean falcao covered rooney's behind? grin
Except Falcao's heat map and position didnt reflect someone who played more in our half. You have not lay a foundation for Falcao to be considered as a deep lying player.

And he made only 20 passes. His is 9th while Carrick is 8th on the pass list. cheesy
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:49am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
why is a DM only making one interception? young, valencia & wait for it..... falcao made 2 interceptions each, they musta played as a DM too. grin
You are buttressing my point that Carrick played out of his usual position. He was find wanting in everything he used to dominate. Rooney covered his as.s
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:39am On Dec 30, 2014
coogar:
that's all the clearance he made - they were in the box & they were all headed clearance. maybe rooney was our centre-back too. grin
And he had one interception. Carrick nil.

I beg Carrick left his duty for rooney. Rooney beats him in vitually everything defensive.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:23am On Dec 30, 2014
whoscored.com

RVP 5.7
Falcao 6.2
Young 6.9...................... due to poor passing accuracy and poor crossing accuracy. Crossing 1/7, passing 69%, 2/6 long balls. 0 clearance
Valencia 7.1
Rooney 7.1
Mata 7.1

Carrick 7.0

cheesy cheesy cheesy




You see RVP rated 5.7? I have never ever seen Rooney rated below 6.0 even when he got a red card. You see what RVP missed chances caused.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/1983203_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

these were all rooney's clearances - they were all headers. or are you going to tell us rooney played in jones/evans position? grin
Rooney was rated higher than most of our players by many pundits, he was outstanding. Carrick did little jor.

Your chart says nothing. Is this the heat map? You have already seen the whoscred chart.

it was a difficult away game - what do you expect? go to spurs & boss the pitch like he does against the minnows? come on, son! was cesc also played out of his position at old trafford when he had a very poor number of passes?
Fabregas operated in the attacking zone at OT as shown by position chart. Matic sat far deeper than Fab. That was how Matic was able to out-passed him.

coogar:
28/34. no need to lie to cover the truth.
rooney completed 31, carrick completed 28.
Yes, 28.

coogar:
all were headed clearances in our 6-yard box. another evidence that they were from set plays. cheesy
It does not always follow.

coogar:
he wasn't a DM - he was just hopeless offensively yesterday & he offered nothing as far as creativity was concerned.
That may just have been the tactics. His physicality was needed to check Spurs forward play while giving some freedom to Young and Carrick. Tactics is different from formation. If a coach has seen that your left back could be punished by a team like Tottenham, he would use strong a player to do the checking. It could also be that the coach saw some weakness in the Tottenham right back and needed Young to terrorize it.

It doesnt mean Rooney couldn't get forward at all, it meant he was to sit back while the other less physical players wwre allowed to torment the opposition.

i dunno the amodu apprentice from nowhere - i just don't like when he uses excuses to defend rooney's poor performances.

whenever rooney fails to deliver, they quickly say it's because he was helping the team to defend. how can rooney play behind carrick in a league game?
How do you mean Rooney did not perform in a match that ended 0-0? Who mow performed? Was it those that missed clear cut chances from 4 yards? If anyone performed, then the match should have been won. o-o at away, we give kudos to those who saved us.

20 of those passes were backwards....and he only completed 31 of the 40 passes. one of the duels was also a header at lloris(his only shot on target).

how's rooney the DM? grin
It doesn't matter if they were backward passes. It shows Carrick operated out of his usual DM position where he usually make 60 to 110 passes. How can a whole Carrick make 34 passes?

Carrick completed 26 passes far less passes than Rooney.

Rooney made 5 clearances.

Rooney is not a DM but he operated as a DM considering the position he played and his defensive stat. He was defence conscious on the left side of our play.

3/4 tackles won

Rooney

2 aerial duel won.
Total passes 40. ... Only out-passes by Jones (49) and Mata (46).

VS Newcastle, I already said Carrick behind Rooney and Mata was ahead of Rooney.

vs Tottenham. The chart shows Rooney was slightly behind. However, the chart doesnt tell the whole story. This is why heatmap will give you more. I downloaded the heat map this moning, I am indisposed to produce the heat map now. I will produce it soon, hopefully tonight.
