Rooney's offensive contributions past 3 seasons (self.reddevils)

Takley が 投稿

Given a lot of people like to randomly comment on Rooneys past few seasons, here is a quick look of how he contributed and his rank compared to the rest of the team. All stats taken via whoscored and ESPNs statistics.

15/16

12 goals - 2nd
6 assists - 3rd
Overall - Joint 2nd
Key passes per game - 1st
Shots per game - 1st

Quarter of the season played as CM, still played the most key passes, tried the most shots, and came joint 2nd in overall goals and assists. But to be honest who gives a shit about goals and assists when he doesnt have an amazing first touch am i right?

14/15

14 goals - 1st
6 assists - Joint 2nd
Overall - 1st
Key passes per game - Joint 2nd
Shots per game - 2nd

13/14

19 goals - 1st
17 assists - 1st
Overall - 1st
Key passes per game - 2nd
Shots per game - 1st

Both seasons contributed the most in terms of goals and assists, and never dropped below second in terms of attempting the most shots and creating the most key passes.

Of course there will be people that blame everything on him, any bad play or form or tactics we have is down to him, he's at fault for everything, can't believe he let Brexit happen to be honest, but the reasonable people will see the simple fact that no matter how shit us manager has our playing, Rooney continues to perform above most of his other attacking colleagues.

Logic stands, when the rest of the team improves,which it will now with Ibra, and for the first time in many years two top tier wide players with pace and play direct, then Rooney will too.

Let's be real he's obviously still a decent player but is nowhere near as good as he used to be.

He shouldn't be an automatic starter but can still be an important squad player.

What do you want us to say? Yea, he contributes, but his stats for the last 2 years are not good enough to be LEADING the attack of one of the biggest clubs in world football. He was great in Moyes' season, but we need someone like that every year

Nobody would play like that every year , which is the whole point, we had players like Mata, Di Maria, Falcao, RvP, and none of them out performed him purely down to the system our past two managers had them all playing in.

Rooney outperformed these and other players within these seasons, as the bottom says, logic stats his owmn stats and performances improve when the team does and the style of play does.

If he turned 12 goals and 8 assists into 20 goals and 12 assists as a starter, easy expectations in a better team and season, would you not consider that good enough?

I don't think Rooney's the kind of player whom you can either attack or defend using statistics strictly. He may not be as great as he was years ago, but still his work rate is commendable and he is quite unselfish too, with both his passes and the various positions he has played in, which have affected his stats over the years.

He has been decent for the last two seasons but he was very good in the Moyes season. I've seen some here say that he can only play when the team plays well which I don't agree with. He is often quite fired up even when the rest of the team may not be in a great state. The Moyes season he carried us..even in the FA cup final I wouldn't see us equalizing unless he goes on that run with that cross-he doesn't have the pace he had earlier but still he has that willpower and passion in him. When we are losing games he seems to be one of the very few who at least seems to care.

Though I'm not sure how he'll do this season-as none of us know(surprising, I know...)-but hope he'll do well.

Thanks for making some sense. There is no denying that Rooney's form has dropped over last few years. But he still performs better than his teammates. And that's why managers are selecting him. Not just because he is Wayne Rooney.

When he came back from injury Martial and Rashford were not dropped because of him. Its not like he is taking away chances from players in better form.

We as a team haven't been so great for the past 3 years. With or without Rooney. Lets wait and see how much he contributes when team actually starts to perform well.
