rooney is my favourite player? his diagonal ball have the same flight pattern as boko haram scud-missile.



dirty harry!
he must have been pissed with the lack of transfer activities last night. the owner must be an idiöt not to spend about £20m on that squad. QPR will go down - austin can't do it alone.

strictly 4-4-2 diamond. Fellaini was easily the second striker with Mata @ the tip of the diamond

It looked more like a 4-1-4-1 particularly in the first half. Di Maria and Rooney were wide while Mata and Fellaini operated behind RVP.

i am not totally convinced yet that LVG knows his first team. until we do it against all the teams below us on the table, i would be keeping my fat fingers crossed.

Your coach has also been charged. Mourinho and his elder brother have now turned Fa money making machine.

Central midfield will kill his career quicker. If we are to accommodate RVP, Falcao in striking positions, We can use Rooney and Mata in the number 10 and wings. Rooney will be better playing from the left side than the right he played last night. Playing from the left will enable him to cut into the edge of the box to shoot his his right foot. It will also gradually bring back the best in him.

If I were Rooney, I would hold a private conversation with the manager, to be played in striking position or number 10 or at worst in the wing. If it doesn't work, I would privately request to be allowed to go to a club I would be used as a striker to keep my career running.

Since 2008, SAF identified that he needed to be specialized in a position. What has been stopping them from doing that. Those day we could understand that playing him in the striking position was like asking him to use only 40% of his energy and athleticism in a match. You wouldn't extract all that he could give. But now part of the athleticism is gone, and time to limit him to a position or two. A forward position.

However, I still think Rooney can be athletic and energetic if he wanted to. He still sometimes exhibit this attribute. But he himself has said he wants to play more intelligently. This might be where the problem lies. Just imagine if Robben stopped playing energetically. May be if Rooney had joined Mourinho in summer of 2013, the special one would have rejuvenated him to his good old days and challenge him to push himself to a ballon d'or candidate. Remember Mourinho at Inter, he said in 2009 that Ibrahimovic was better than Ronaldo. He came to Chelsea and has been challenging Hazard to be world best with strong words. Mourinho's style of play allows players to fully express themselves on the pitch as opposed to Gaal's style which fixes specialists in positions.

My opinion.
