ANCELOTTI DENIES BAYERN MUNICH INTEREST: I CANNOT STAND THEIR DOMINANCE
The former AC Milan and Real Madrid boss feels a
lack of stimulation watching the German
champions due to the total absence of competition
for the Bundesliga crown
Carlo Ancelotti has appeared to rule himself out of
contention for the Bayern Munich job, saying
the lack of competition they face for the
Bundesliga title makes it difficult for him to enjoy
watching them.
The Italian has been without a club since departing
Real Madrid at the end of the 2014-15 season,
and has been linked to the Bayern post with no
renewal for incumbent coach Pep Guardiola -
whose contract is due to expire next June - in
sight.
Nevertheless, the German champions won their
1000th Bundesliga game on Saturday, defeating
Cologne 4-0 to keep both their challenge for a
record fourth Bundesliga crown and a 100 per cent
record from 10 league games this season intact.
But Ancelotti suggested it is precisely the
Bavarians' absolute superiority at domestic level that could deter him from taking up the coaching
role at Allianz Arena.
"Bayern will win the Bundesliga without even
taking their hands out their pockets," Ancelotti told
La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I must confess that I cannot enjoy Bayern's
games.
"There is simply too little real competition."
Ancelotti previously confirmed he will be looking
to return to coaching soon, but admitted he would
prefer it to be a club level rather than with a
national team.
"I just like to be on the pitch every day and have
close contact with the players," he added.

When Wayne Rooney scored at Goodison last
weekend, people queued up to tell us why, actually, this is why you don’t write off the man. The last 2 games have demonstrated that, in his current guise, disappointment is the rule, not exception.

It’s not just that Rooney is offering nothing to
United’s attack; he is hampering it significantly.
Martial, Mata and Herrera can do all they can to take attacks so far, but at some point their team-mate needs to get involved. Then all promise turns to dust.

It is as if Rooney is playing with lead weights under
his shirt, labouring around the opposition half like a
35-year-old League Two striker telling everyone
who’ll listen that he’s still got it. He completed nine
passes in the first half, and gave the ball away
seven times. There is an increasingly familiar Old
Trafford groan reserved for a Rooney pass
straight into touch. It is becoming the soundtrack
of his decline.

The bizarre thing about Rooney is just how much goodwill he retains from those within the game, he is effectively immune to criticism. Here is his game in numbers: No shots on target, No chances created. A passing accuracy of 55% (the lowest on the pitch). Lost possession 28 times (highest on the pitch). One touch in the opposition penalty area.

Yet the only reaction from Gary Neville was to
twice praise Rooney for his defensive work, while
Martin Tyler remarked that he was “defensively
responsible at 30”. For a striker, that should be
the ultimate damnation by faint praise. The person with the most faith is Van Gaal, who still starts Rooney to the detriment of the team. Depay has struggled to settle in during his early months in England, but at least with Depay, age provides reason for patience.

More importantly, playing Depay on the left would
allow Martial to operate as a central striker. For a manager who demands movement from his forwards, it is difficult to see how dropping Rooney wouldn’t assist United’s creativity. Van
Gaal must surely now be at least considering that
option.

In terms of this game, the biggest crime was that
Rooney stayed on until the final whistle. He may
once have been United’s magic man, the player
who could conjure something out of nothing to win
you the game, but that time has passed. He was
a 90-minute passenger.

“Sir, I have to talk every week about Rooney,”
said United’s manager to a journalist in his post-
match press conference. “Why? I don’t give any
opinion. Sick of it. You have your opinion, write
it.” Not as sick as some United fans are at the
free ride given to the captain.

When having faith that Rooney could rediscover his greatness, bear this question in mind: What did he excel at? The 3 most obvious responses to that
question are pace, power and positive aggression.
Not only do all now look lost, but these are
impossible characteristics to switch on and off.
You can’t just decide to have more pace or add
ten times more power, and the aggression in
Rooney’s game has been reduced to swearing in
the direction of the officials. He has become a
parody of the jaded striker, a brightness dulled by
the rigours of his career. He is the old fighter still
stepping into the ring but now being punched from
rope to rope.

So the question to Rooney’s backers is this: What
are you waiting for? Rooney isn’t naturally fit
enough to regain his missing athleticism. He’s
played too many career games to find the spark associated with his early years at United. He has never been the type of striker who you would expect to redefine his style in order to prolong his career. It’s all very sad, but there’s a shell of a player where Wayne Rooney used to be. Van Gaal is one of few who must still have faith, and even that is waning.

The tide seems to be turning @ last! I think next summer the club is going to break the bank for either "lewandowski, muller or some other supreme striking force waiting in the wings"! This season is rooneys last chance saloon and I know for a fact that van gaal is going to drop him @ some breaking point this season! He should ask rivaldo, mario gomez or luca toni!

G.neville,scholes and hagreaves know more about rooney than some guy who probably never played before.
Why do you all have this sick need to see those three tear rooney a new one ?

StarBoard:
They don't know jack.
If anything it's the opinion of former players that is most suspect.
Jamie Carragher prophesied that no player outside Chelsea could get into that squad at the start of this season. Neville claimed he didn't see anybody challenging Chelsea for the title.
Do we need to go back to Peles prediction about an African nation winning the World Cup before the end of last century?

What I see in the above mentioned blokes are people too scared to criticize one of their own.

It is obvious Rooney is nowhere near the force he was early in his career when he should be peaking at his age.

SIRcumalot:
We passed that breaking point 5 games ago.
I don't want Muller (I don't understand that guy)

Rooney should stay on the bench "for rest" just for like 3 games make we see how far.

it's extremely hard to win when you're effectively playing with 10 men. rooney is the only reason we don't have at least 27 points on the league table as we speak.

StarBoard:
*sigh*
Like I said I'm wondering what it will take for anyone defending Rooney on these pages to see the light,
The truth is that he is a scam, earning wages that are not commensurate with his output or those on far less pay..

Jamie Vardy may be a one season wonder but he's full of running and always on hand to put defenders on their toes.
Dude has 10 goals in 10 league games on a salary that would be less than a sixth of our resident pregnant hippo.

codedguy1:
When you called him a fraud it sounded like he had been a fraud all his career in United. We wanted to separate what he serves now with his exceptional service to United in previous years before this shameful displays in recent years. I guess Moyes and Woodward where still high on osogbo Vodka when they agreed to the ridiculous pay for him.
If there is bounty on Rooney right now I would get on the job ASAP, some are ready to do it for free sef.
I see Rooney in our lineup these days and get so irritated.

parrotibaba: E be like say Rooney de drop like €50,000 for el jefe every Friday so that he go de start and finish matches any time he's fit. How can a player be this bad and yet for some reason still starts?

coogar:
vardy is aggressive and everything he seems to touch these days becomes gold. meanwhile, he's just going through a purple patch.

the resident pregnant hippo has seen better days abeg. if he's not english, he would be driving white van in essex.....we should cut him off this summer.

!

codedguy1:
Burnthisleaguedown is like a whorehouse where bayern(customer) goes to pick any b!tch(team) to molest at will.

StarBoard:
My point is Vardy is 28, just two years younger than preggo. At 28 Rooney was already running on fumes yet he was given a second bumper package.

To me it seems he cannot go beyond what he has already offered us.
Yesterday he kept bumping into Herrera, falling back to retrieve the ball instead of making runs into the opposing box that would keep Otamendi or Kompany busy, thus nullifying Herrera. When your own player blunts other offensive weapons then I can't think of wha else to say. That was why Otamendi could be free to double up on Martial.

I don't want to call for his head but he isn't offering anything for us at this point.
Did you see the pass Martial gave to Lingard?
Rooney was closer to the area but Lingard out sprinted him to get the attempt. Instead of Rooney to anticipate a follow up for a simple tap-in,he just stood there when Lingards effort came off the woodwork and put his hands on his head.

At that point I knew this guy no longer has the drive and hunger anymore.

raumdeuter:
If I ask you to support your claim now you would run away

Bayerns last game only 2 out of 11 players were from other Bundesliga sides (Neuer and Lewandoski).

Man Utd last game Jones, Valencia, Smalling, Rooney, Mata and Schneiderlin were from other EPL sides making it 6 out of 11

On the bench you had , Carrick, Fellaini who were from other EPL sides too plus Young and Shaw who are injured

So who between Man Utd and Bayern molest their league for players
