I disagree, azin completely
There are times his first dribbling had opened or splitted the defence for a pass, but he goes on to the next dribbling instead of the pass. It was most evident against CSKA. There were two occasions Fellaini was asking for the ball while so free at the edge of the left side of the box. There are some others like that but it is expected as it's not everyone who sees a pass like Giggs or Mata.

Giggs running at 200mh will see a pass.

Leave this homie! Maybe he prefers how rooney UNDER DOES THINGS instead? Like that senseless cross field pass he sent from midfield to the assistant linesman when all his team mates where still jogging forward and had not gotten into their positions!

5 draws huh Think it's 3

Mane didn't deserve that 2nd yellow card
Yeah, he was unlucky. If Soton should appeal against it it'll be rescinded.

L'pool had 2 consecutive draws before Jorgen Klopp signed on.

See the reason I'm a bit displeased with Jones is the fact that he hasn't finally gotten rid of those evil spirits whispering in his ear. He's not yet composed and settled as he should. Jones unlike others is known for making silly mistakes. I'm not saying he didn't have a fantastic game but we could've g0one behind in the first half because of him.
Leave all these tales by moonlight from your dream. Jones was very calm, collective, tidy today. He even had the highest pass accuracy behind Valencia. Always a good interceptor of the ball. He anticipated threats and delt with them decisively.

I don't know, but I fancy our chances. Liverpool are a team that simply cannot keep cleansheets right now, and they are also struggling to score.

Should be an open game.

Yeah. Apart from that I think the instruction to players on that wing was to single-handedly create a chance when they get the ball. That's where Depay has been failing maybe. I could've thought wrong however

It's going to be a good clash. Both teams want a win badly and both managers need the 3 points. However with L'pool's attacking vigor the bridge might crumble again if Chelsea keep up with their lackadaisical displays.

Martial has done very well though. CSKA put two players on him. His mistake in the first half was that he aways wanted to single-handedly take them on. He was caught time and time again.

Today was a big match and he made it look so easy. If Rooney must always play, I wonder why they can't even rorate positions inside of the match.

Teams have been doubling up on him since he scored his last EPL goal. That doesn't seem to have hampered him in any major way. I"m still waiting for the dude to have a bad/not so good match outing.

No clarification. Just give it any explanation. We will not be far apart.

anyone who says he prefers rooney to martial as a CF is a lunatic. martial would have kompany/otamendi ragged today. one of the reasons mata/herrera didn't have a good game was because rooney wasn't running the channels to create the space for the creators to operate.

martial would have stretched city's defence further back. no centre back likes a player running at them at full speed apart from smalling who completely destroyed walcott in the 2nd half against arsenal. even when rooney wasn't this horrible, he was mostly kompany's bïtch.

there's no moral justification for LVG to play rooney. he has consistently been the worst player in our squad this season. the front four of martial, mata, memphis & herrera would have suited us better particularly towards the end of the game.......if it's true rooney has a "must play" clause in his contract then LVG's hands are tied!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 8:43pm On Oct 25, 2015

Jones was rated highest on our side.

Smalling and Jones are our best CB pairing. The earlier we allow them to develop the better. They have not lost a game together since last season.
True. For me the two have been fantastic. I just hope Jones have gotten over his injury problems. If the two can stay fit, they`ll be great for the team.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 8:46pm On Oct 25, 2015
Who saw Suarez's 3rd goal tonight?? Talk abt the touch of a Striker....


Meanwhile, its pretty obvious our best attacking plays coincided wit the inclusion of Martial into the team. We averaged three goals a match in 85% of our matches in September.

And its pretty obvious dat since Martial's been shunted down to the left wing and Rooney played up front, we've struggled to score goals. Scoring 4 in 4 matches so far this and averaging 3 goals in 25% of matches so far this October.

The sooner we push Martial back to CF and do away with Rooney, the sooner we can start finding the net again.

i have also asked the same question. that's why i think LvG is insane cuz even Mata make runs into the middle with Herrera drifting out to create some sort of confusion but the other wing is just static - makes little sense & its definitely according to Mr. Philo's instructions.

the man no dey try some times. even Rooney on the left with Martial in the middle makes better sense except there's something else we don't know in public.

They were there. You said their defenders were solid because Rooney gave them nothing to worry about.

Are you telling me that Martial would`ve been anonymous the way Rooney was? Didn`t you see number of Martial`s take ons? He would`ve been constatly attacking them which might have created something different. He would`ve offered something different for them to think about. Rooney didn`t muster anything against their defence.
Martial take on was that high because he mainly faced Sagna and whichever help defender city throws at him if he played as a CF otamendi and kompany go be like him 2nd skin.
My point is simple.
Martial would've done better than rooney but considering our lack of attacking option martial has to continue playing from that position until young is fit or Memphis shows some promise.

why not just drop rooney & play memphis on the left? move martial back as CF & let mata/herrera work their spanish flavour.....

the odd man out now in the team is rooney. i am quite sure you still think he will score 25 league goals per season. grin cheesy

Unless rooney start scoring own goals for the next five matches he won't be dropped.

Concerning the 25 goals maybe just 20goals now.

playing rooney is like attempting to have sex without a pënis. you keep thrusting but nothing is going on.

the media/journos are now waking up. i heard they bombarded LVG with questions in the post-match conference concerning rooney's poor form.......LVG dodged the question as usual.

i just saw an article now where a journo tore rooney to shreds.

if he persists with such shïtty performances, it is only a matter of time before he gets dropped. for a manager like LVG that is obsessed with possession, it's baffling how he tolerates a dispossession machine known as wayne rooney.

No just bring another excuse to isolate WR... He's shit and shit still. Only if Plato has singlehandedly told WR and AM to rotate bfr them. Who no go fear the man's ballhuh
