Rooney will deliver more than 20 goals. No question about that.

Can you guarantee this and remind us at season's end?

Wait remain one last post before e end.

How many strikers actually stay inside the box?

Wayne Rooney vs Kane.
TBH, i give less fúck about Kane. I'm happy our defenders shut him out because he's more dangerous than Rooney.


See, a striker of Rooney's caliber should have made more impact than Kane. He shouldn't even be compared with Kane. Can you compare Kane and Suarez?

In our preseason match with Barca, Suarez didn't score, but he ripped us apart. That's why he's that good. Rooney has no tangible contribution at all on top not scoring.

Last but not the least.

Giroud vs Sakho

Not by being in the box. See Giroud made inside the box his bedroom and still not score.

It depends on flow of game.

If I showed you Suarez`s heat map you will see that he doesn't sit inside the box.

Striking is not about sitting inside the box. Suarez is the king of evading the Centre backs. He could even go to camp in the wing while playing 9

@elampiro
To rubbish the box theory.

It's an issue when it comes to Rooney but all strikers do it.

If you are pressing a striker will be in the box. But we were not pressing.

if giroud leads our line we will win the league, the English legend is a box to box DM at heart. Keep posting irrelevant heat maps

No doubt, i agree. But you can't compare the GENERAL CONTRIBUTION of Suarez with Rooney. Suarez makes more impact in a match than Rooney even when he was in the average Looserfool team.

Elampiro no one is saying Rooney should carry vita foam and sleep inside the box.

Wat we're all saying is dat he should focus more on staying in front and spear heading the attack and getting us goals dan dropping back and clogging up the midfield

He is not clogging any midfield. What then would your say of Suarez, Aguero, when they play 9.

Rooney played this way in 2009. How many times did he even came out. I saw him making runs but no pass.

The facts remains that Suarez stays in midfield and wing. He is outside of the box number 9.

The heat map said it all. It shows where a player was most active with the ball.

All strikers rarely stay in the box, except a pressing side like Arsenal.

I can also show AMCs drifting wide. Football is no longer traditional. Even Yekini pure traditional 9 came back to midfield occasionally.

Aguero and Suarez are pacy forwards. They can afford to drop deep into midfield and help wit the defence and then get back up front in a flash wen the team is on a counter. Rooney played like dat in 09/10 season wen he still had some pace in him. But he cant play like dat now. He's older and he's gotten slower.

So many times on the counter yesterday wen Mata had the ball, Rooney was always behind the ball. A striker o. Behind the ball on a counter. Thats why all of our attacks were goin thru Depay. Watch and rewatch the highlights of yesterday's game and notice Rooney's position wen we scored and wen Mata gve dat pass that Depay missed.

Rooney is past his prime. He cant be dropping into midfield and be expecting to get service upfront wen he's not even there. He should leave midfield work to the midfielders and stay up front and focus on scoring more goals for us. Its dat simple

There was a counter started by Rooney yesterday in our own third from a set play. By time Januzaj got the pass Rooney was already in the opposition box. Unfortunately Januzaj doesn't know the meaning of counter. He is more obsessed with beating a man.

That reminds me of JS Park. It's just a pass. We were three or four against two.
