elampiro: Elrony substabdard midfielder hailed by SAF
Ferguson hails midfielder Rooney
Thu, Nov 3, 2011
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson praised Wayne Rooney's performance in an unaccustomed central midfield role in the 2-0 Champions League victory over Otelul Galati. The England international played in a withdrawn position in the weekend win over Everton and found himself alongside Anderson for the Group C match because of injuries to Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley, while Darren Fletcher is working his way back to fitness. Rooney responded by dictating from deep as it was his long diagonal pass which started the build-up to Antonio Valencia's eighth-minute goal and he rounded off a laboured team performance with a hugely-deflected goal seven minutes from time. "I think he was our best player. He showed great awareness of that role," said Ferguson. He added: "His selection of passes at times was very good and showed great energy and determination - we got a really good performance out of him. We had injuries and that is one of the reasons we played him there. Cleverley is injured, Carrick is injured, Darren Fletcher played on Saturday but it was better he played next Saturday. "It was an option for us and a good option because he has all the qualities you need to be a central midfield player. The first thing you have to say about him is that he receives the ball very well.
"He is aided by the fact he plays in a forward role, when receiving the ball is more of an issue but that was an advantage for him. I am not surprised the team we were playing against were aggressive in defending so he has to take credit in being able to handle that part." www.express.co.uk/sport/football/281468/Ferguson-hails-midfielder-Rooney epadomo, forget this outdated appraisal...... we talking 2016 you are talking 2011,thats archaic sh1t mehn!!! can you compare Rooney as a Striker in 2011 and the current captain burger of 2016? it's not just logical na,he had a good day in the midfield against minnows eons ago doesn't change the fact that Rooney is a substandard player when deployed in the midfield role..... Rooney is not a Midfielder abeg....just leave it at that!.. it's just like saying Carrick is a good CB just cos he played there on few occasions.  |

kokaneprodigy: You just regurgitated what that Ibadan tout spat into ur mouth, I'm really disappointed. cos now, u gat me confused who the puppy is btw u two. If u must lick some bûtt at least have some taste!! don't be ridiculous boy. try understand what you read before you start typing sh1t like a lunatic. we 've seen how people deactivated here without any trace of their former alter ego(now you might classify that as cowardice, depending on the context).They fukcing hide or stay low when their rep is fucking tarnished. now you claim he allegedly deactivated because you destroyed his rep,and yet his moniker springs up almost identical with the former, same attributes in entirety,homie that doesn't look the picture you painting. and just for clarity that ain't bûtt licking, unless you are indirectly telling me you are a demented douchebag!!  |

elampiro: How did I defend Rooney? I am only making clarification.
Again, Rooney actually defended himself when he came from injury last season. He did very well in midfield, but I actually prefer him in attack. Let him fight for his place there. your epistles are akin to a bodyguard and master episode. well,Rooney is at his best a substandard midfielder and that's a no brainer trying to deploy him there again! the era of Louis Van Daft is gone with the wind. Mr Wayne like you rightly said should go fight for his place as the striker he his at default or chop bench!!! no time for experimentations again!...either you man up and provide competition for your position or you pack your bags and leave!!!!!! we need specialists and not makeshifts!!!!!! |

GBR1: The Morgan case is a curious one. Some believe he was mismanaged by LVG and that's why he underperformed while others say he's simply mediocre and never gonna be capable of performances good enough for a top team.
He has been linked with Everton recently with a reunion with Koeman who his former coach at the saints.
Anything is possible but it all depends on Jose's plans. We could see a new Morgan next season putting in decent performances in a new system or he could do badly again and get sold next season or it's even possible Jose doesn't really rate him and he could get sold in this transfer window. It's all speculative. well,like you said "anything is possible ". I really cannot give any reason for his lackluster outing last season tho... maybe the LVG syndrome.  |

afrodoc2: Pogba is not and will never be worth 100m pounds. Unless he comes and start scoring at a Cronaldo/Messi rate paying more than 60m pounds for any midfielder is daylight robbery. my thoughts exactly  .... who buys a CM for £80m sef!!! unless he guarantees 3 points whenever he's on the pitch!!! Pogba is dope no doubt,buh we should never be magaed by this yahoo yahoo agents and useless clubs with outrageous price tags on their players! |

Ibime: Boateng isn't organised enough to bunker. He cannot anticipate or position himself in those situations eg a striker making a quick dart to the near post from a lateral cross or cutback.
That's what Bonucci did dozens of times tonight.
If it is to chase a striker for a 50 yard through ball that he can see from a mile away, then he is good at that one.
Anything involving constant concentration, positioning and organisation, he is below par.
All these matches you mentioned were dominated by Bayern and he had nothing to do besides chasing strikers in a foot race.
That's why you see him conceding 5 goals when Barca put him on backfoot. lol... Boateng is a fraud!!!!...very limited and unstable! |

joeace2020: This Dayo is the real definition of shapeshifting..someone who cannot be man enough to stand by his world or accept defeat. After wasting countless pages to prove how the EPL has failed in the EUROS he then brings up the WORLD CUP played 2 years ago as an excuse for Germany, even if they are beaten 10-0 by Italy. You cannot argue objectively n anyone arguing with you should be bright enough to know and avoid you
Infact going by your pitiably warped logic.... The bundesliga dominated Germany shouldn't even be in this tournament since its a tin cup compared to the world cup and have nothing to prove...Spain should celebrate leaving after all they are the defending champions n have nothing to prove. Only if sense grew on trees Oluwa Okike Abiama!!!!  |

Italy dismantled Spain afterall!.. and according to what you preach :Azzurri =Serie'A and Espanà = La Liga.  PS: what should we call the Nigerian AFCON winning team? (any ideas) |
