unfortunately, opta stats didn't cover that game - i woulda showed you that what you read on papers is different from what transpires on the pitch.

coogar:
show us the goal.com link......

elampiro:
I have read where Rooney himself said he played in the wing in that game. But he refused to admit he was on same level with Messi as the press were comparing him with Messi's play from the wing.

coogar:
that's just british media nonsense.
ronaldo scored 2 goals & assisted park and people compared rooney to messi?

rooney did nothing in that game. the 2-0 lead was as early as the first 20 mins. arsenal were shell-shocked and in the second half, they threw the kitchen sink & united countered for the third.

what did rooney do in the game?

elampiro:
You think say I dey lie?

I have closed all my links. I am about ending the argument.

elampiro:
The Venables praise and press MOTM I was referring to was in the fist leg. Ronaldo and Park were rated highest by goal in the second.

what did rooney do in the game?

elampiro:
He didnt do anything. Coogar u funnel.

coogar:
park - 8.5
rooney - 8.0
ronaldo - 9.0
anderson - 8.0.

i ask again, what did rooney do in the game that got venables comparing him to messi?

rooney was the lowest rated attacking player in the first leg - which proves my point that he contributed nothing.....according to goal.com

anderson - 8.5
rooney - 7.0
ronaldo - 8.0
tevez - 8.0

so where's the hype from?

elampiro:
Where is the link to the first leg?

coogar:
and between rooney & shinji, who really played on the left wing against southampton from the images i posted?

elampiro:
Kagawa from your chart. But dont forget how Silva plays his number 10. When City came to OT under Moyes, Silva drifted mostly wide.

It may not be his favourite position or even his best position. But, like it or lump it, I believe it is where Rooney is most effective for United right now.

coogar:
so let's stop depending on starting line up images as the almighty factual evidence where someone played. managers often alter tactics during the game.....to counter their opponents.

elampiro:
Agreed. No disputing this.

This was why I relied mostly on Zonal Marking to back my argument. But they didnt have for this match.

coogar:
this bit says it all.

coogar:
i dey go monitor transfer deadline. it seems hummels is on his way.

JayKayMaybachz:
Coogar are you serious bout this?

coogar:
the rumours seem to be growing in strength. dunno which is which. i saw a pic of him in manchester but it seems fake.

elampiro:
Hope we get Hummels.

purplekayc:
De gea is leaving ?

elampiro:
Parotibaba,

Your assumption that whenever Park and Giggs played that they were in the wing is wrong. Park had many games in three man midfield. I am sure same can be said of Giggs.
