stop lying.....
there's no heat map on the planet that would put rooney behind carrick. unconsciously revised? against the tactical approach of LVG? united played 3-1-4-2. carrick was the 1 in front of the back-3 and one of rooney's aerial duel was his only shot on target. what was rooney doing in the tottenham's box if he was unconsciously playing behind carrick?
You dont know football. The formation changes with the game, particularly when the opponent becomes difficult. The heat map shows Rooney played deeper. You can check it out.

Even whoscored positional average chart shows Rooney and Carrick played on same line while Mata operated in front of them. Go check it our again.


coogar:
what was rooney doing in tottenham's box when he was our most advanced player when his first touch let him down?
Where was Carrick when Rooney cleared from inside the 6 yard box from open play? Where was Carrick when Rooney made five clearances?

coogar:
how can young be more advanced when he was a wingback? do you even understand tactics at all?
Why not go check it our?

Even whoscored put Rooney slightly behind Carrick in player's position chart. Mata was almost levelled with Falcao while RVP was the most advanced player. cheesy


Two different sources saying same thing.

Robin van Persie in particular was horrible. missing easy chances right, left and center. It was a very poor second 45 minutes showing from the team. Had they continued to push on from the first 45 minutes, I'm sure someone would have scored at some point.

Merry Christmas.

I thought we missed Valencia in the second half. His substitution unbalanced our play, coupled with fatigue.

carrick played behind rooney....
rooney made those clearances when united were defending set-plays. nothing to do with his average position in the game. rooney was poor yesterday but it's not his natural position so he gets a pass....

our best players were mata, carrick, young.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 7:28pm On Dec 29, 2014
Is this back 3 possible?

Jones---- rojo---- shaw

Have you checked the position in whoscored? Also the heat map?

Rooney did the dirty job. That's how a team work is. When you go into a match, you could use your unique quality for the overall benefit of the team. I am not talking about the clearances but players overall movement in the game as captured by opta heatmap.

Against Newcastle for instance, CVarrick sat deeper than Rooney, while Mata still play higher than Rooney. Both on opta heat map and position chart of whoscored.

shaw is too short for that.

the most ideal back 3 = jones smalling rojo.

mcnair has lost his confidence after the match against the saints. he should be ahead of jones. evans should be loaned to sunderland.

Yes. But I think Rojo is a bit lacking in pace to play alone in the middle.

Was just wondering where di maria, blind and herrera would fit in

I will show it later.

But you can check whoscored position play for now. Everyone has access to that. Under 'match report' click on 'players position'.

For instance, the link below is for Newcastle game.

we would go back to 4-3-3 when they all get back. the lack of natural midfielders at the moment is the reason we are lining up 5 players there.

i checked & carrick is behind rooney against the toon army. i also checked the spurs game, rooney & carrick held the same position throughout. how come carrick made more forward passes than rooney? why did half of rooney's total passes went backwards? grin

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.


Why was Carrick defensive play lacking? grin

when you don't have proof, it's better not to speak.

3/4 tackles won
6 ball recoveries
1 clearance
1 aerial duel.

it's more than enough for a DM protected by 4 other players in the midfield.

Does Martinez want to take Everton to relegation?

Nemesis is catching up with them at Everton (coach and players) for their disrespect of Moyes with bad comments at this time last season. They felt Moyes was their problem for a decade 'cos they were in top 4 under Martinez.
















Ukwu!
lol. Azzin ehn. Especially those useless everton fans with short memory

When I was telling guys to calm down on the martinez hype and see if he could sustain the initial gra gra, they didn't listen.

He has not even faced half of what moyes faced and he don dey see oba grin

valencia is better than herrera in that position. he's stronger, pacier and more difficult to bully than herrera. herrera is a better passer of the ball though.

Rooney

3 tackles won
8 ball recoveries
5 clearances
2 aerial duel won.
Total passes 40. ... Only out-passes by Jones (49) and Mata (46).

Is is not obvious Rooney did the DM job?

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

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?
