elampiro:
He was in the box many times but Mata ways preferred to play with Darmian and long pass down to Memphis.

When he was not serviced he dropped out. However, even in 09/10 he was not always in the box.

In other words, Rooney's poor performance was because of our midfielders?

Our keeper and top 9 striker share the same stats in shots on goal (both on target and off target)

SMH!

Rooney couldn't control the ball because of our midfielders!

codedguy1:
Oh so you can use stats of two key passes to defend Rooney now not what we use our two naked korokoro eyes watch abi. You should be ashamed of defending Rooney, atleast for last night and comparing his key passes with that of mata that gave us a goal.

What say u about this?

What I say about that? Whoscored has something different. And stats were generally poor.

See RVP last season. The people who blamed Rooney now defended RVP with their blood last season for having 12 touches in a match. They even blamed Rooney for this.

According to Goal.com, he was not poor. He led his line well.

With performances like that RVP deserved to be sold!

Elampiro! Don't u think we should sell Rooney too?

Did Rooney touch the ball only 12 times?

How can you sell a striker who had 28 out of 36 accurate passes and created two chances?

He is also balanced on the ball unlike falling falling Falcao and RVP last season.

[quote author=Leyqute post=36972405]Rooney isn't sharp - that's the problem. He'd ctrl a ball (howbeit clumsily) and he'd be out of options. He'll roll the ball over for 3 seconds and then pass back. Whatever happened to threatening defenders? Making an effort? This might not get a him goal but it'll surely lead to goal scoring opportunities for others and help the team generally. Until baba get that sharpness defenders won't fear Utd's attack.

Depay is sh.it after 2 matches? Okay. Jzj is also sh.it? Okay. I guess everybody who played yesterday were sh.it except for White pele because 'the team isn't playing to his strength' eh?

You like the 6pts but the team that got it is sh.it.
na wa for u so depay's display so far is world class ? u lots just focus on a single player the team's two displays lack highlights

So we should hail and commend a top striker for a club like United because he touched the ball 12 times and had accurate passes. A striker that touched the ball just once in the opponents 18 box.

Is that only what he should be doing for 90mins.

Which Goal.com? Goal.com of Nairaland, or the Goal.com of Elampiro?

This is what Goal had to say on Fatso..

Wayne Rooney looked no more potent either. Despite starting as the lone striker, it was his work dropping behind the three attacking midfielders which did him most credit. At no point did he really turn around the Villa defenders and appear ready to cause them serious trouble.

So which Goal.com are you reading? The one in your dream? The ONLY person commending Rooney that I've heard or read is YOU. And it's only you that's blaming our midfield too.

Elampiro's defense of Fatso is inexplicable. There's something he sees Rooney that no-one else does.

Exactly my point. RVP touched the ball 12 times last season and you all defended him. Rooney touched it 46 times, created 2 chances and you guys persecute him.

Rooney dey send am western Union na! U nor know!

fools dont see some retards leave leprosy to treat lice. we have been boring from the initial 2 games the full backs arent bombing forward to support the attack till united get thumped b4 people realize

If we get Pedro, Mata should be played behind the striker, but the issue is; with Mata as your AM, you definitely need a mobile striker one that makes moves searching for the killer pass... In our team that striker is Chicharito not Rooney... how long do we have to wait to get Chicharito in place of Rooney?

He got the basic right. The goals will come as he gains sharpness with game time.

Before our full backs start bombing forward, we need our middle sorted out in terms of the best combo... And with Blind as your starting Centre back, I don't see any coach unleashing his full backs not even Pep...
Use of derogatory words like fools and retards don't belong in a healthy discussion...

Correct. Even that snapshots wrote he was no threat in the 18-yard box. That he was constantly dropping into the midfield. That's why i told you that Rooney was not even in the box for people to feed him the ball. He led the line from the midfield.

Strikers in the world are known for the goals they get their team. But elampiro thinks Rooney is the new messiah just because he had 28 accurate passes and no....yes 'NO' shot on target! I go like sabi u in person so i can give u a knock on ur head

Gbam. When he didn't get service he dropped deep. But the bottom line is that he led the line well.

Remember too, Aguero and Suarez don't stay in the box but they get serviced. Also Rooney didn't play always in the box in 2009 /10.

It's the way he plays his 9 that Gaal likes.

Okay na, make we drop this Rooney matter for today, let's see what Rooney go do in future matches.

Na wa oh... from page 1893-1901. Oops! this is serious. Even make you no see this match, come here and picture every comment.



I almost fell off from my bed because of some people's comments... United sha... we're getting there but we still need goals oh... because goal difference do pays sometimes.

lol..... no ki mi with laff

Lol, so man u fans are not satisfied with the results their gettin ..... Entertainment football and losing d title race? Or boring football and stayin in the title race?.. the choice is yours

coogar:
2 games, 6 points, 2 clean sheets.
whatever it is we are doing to get these wins, long may it continue.
the moment jones gets back, we would concede goals and lose games. i hope he never recovers from his injuries.

the less said about rooney, the better......
at least, the whole world can now see he's a fraud and his position last season had nothing to do with his poor performance.
a poor footballer will always be a poor footballer. he cannot pass, he cannot trap the ball and he has the first touch of a serial rapist.

u ve said it all...Rooney has been exposed!

He wont score in 15 out of 38 matches if at all he played all

The end justifies the means bro.....
Of what essence is full backs bombing forward and at the end of the day the match ends 4-3 or 3-2?

even rival fans are against us using Rooney as our top 9 if we wanna go far in winning any tangible trophy dis season

Well said. Darmian and Shaw did good jobs of protecting the CBs yesterday. If not, we'd ve drawn d match
