[Discussion] Rooney in midfield (self.reddevils)

NariTMUF が 投稿

How are you guys liking Rooney in a more central role so far?

We know he has played there on some occasion under SAF and LvG.

Has he improved there?

Is he capable of playing there more comfortably in the future?

Would you like to see him play alongside Carrick or Schneiderlin as the holding midfielder in the future?

I'm not too impressed tbh.

He's great at pressing, tracking back and spraying those crossfield passes, but he's too careless on the ball and can get dispossessed easily at times.

We lack a player who can pass between the lines, Blind is the only one that's capable of playing passes through the middle. Carrick used to play those passes, but he's been way too safe this year.

I don't think Rooney will ever evolve into a top midfielder.

I think he is solid in midfield and I'm happy with him continuing there for the rest of the season. In the future however (next season)? I'd rather we went out and brought a proper CM. We have too many 'solid' players and not enough game changers and top players. I'm surprised its taken this long to put him in midfield again. He was fairly decent there last season and the only reason he moved up top is because we lacked goals, Rooney never solved that issue, possibly made it worse as he went scoreless in the last 7 matches in the season and then scored just 2 in the first 19 matches of this season.

I wonder if we do look to selling him, whether it be this summer or the next, if teams will look to him as a decent central midfield option because right now I'm not convinced he is good enough to be starting up top for a club like Everton (a team that should be pushing for top 6).
