Can we take a second to talk about Rooney's performance? (self.reddevils)

TyperSniperKeane が 投稿

I feel like the overall result has shrouded what was an extremely sloppy and overall wasteful performance from him. The amount of time I heard "Oh fuck sake Rooney" in the pub earlier was sad, would much prefer to see Mhki given a chance as our 10.

What did you guys think?

I think it's universally agreed that he was pretty poor.

I dont think it was shrouded. Everyone watching the game saw how poor he was. Honestly think he should be on the bench and should be the one fighting for a spot on the team and Mkhi or Mata get the preference ahead of him. Not going to happen anytime soon though

Poor, awful infact, needs to be benched for Mhki/Mata.

Terrible. His first touch killed so many attacks I lost count of them.

[–]IVIanUnited -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

always took the touch facing away from the opposition goalkeeper and ran it back instead of making runs forward

We should move rooney to the bench and put miki in the 10 role.

His passing was definitely poor

He picked up in the last 25-30 minutes but there's something wrong with Rooney. I'm sorry but I don't buy the fact that age has hindered his ability to control the ball or his awareness. At times today he looked like a league one player. Hope Mourinho ends up getting the best out of him, never want to see a legend leave.

He was quite disappointing, didn't seem to get into the game.. though to be fair, Martial, Carrick and Ibra (except the goal) were underwhelming too. Rooney usually does take a bit of time to get settled into the season. So let's see how he works in the team in the first few league games.

It's pretty funny though, everyone saying that the players in the team need around 5 games to get into the new system and season and by half time of the Community Shield people were completely writing off Rooney (one even saying that a season long injury is the only way he'll be out of the starting XI. Seriously.).

I think he has to be dropped guys to be honest.

We simply have much better options. Rashford, Martial, Zlatan as strikers.

Mkhitaryan and Mata are better behind the striker.

I think he is going to hinder the progress of Rashford if this keeps up. He simply isn't good enough any more to lead a team wanting to win major trophies. He can still play is part as a squad player, as for a starter? He just isn't good enough any more. Contributed a lot to us and hope he will continue to, but it's just time for him to step aside.

He was pretty poor the last few years and has been unbelievably inconsistent. Sorry to say it, but I think his time is just up. His passing, his touch, his lack of pace which has deteriorated massively. He can still finish though, so for that reason he still has a part to play.

Everything must come to an end, and as above, it's not about who plays it can sometimes be about who does not play. If that makes sense.

I think it's pretty obvious he was the weakest link today but I he was the only one getting valencia in the game today.

[–]tfitzg01 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Honestly, it's his first touch that the biggest problem. His first touch is so poor that he then is having to stretch so far to try to play the ball, which is then obviously not going off well.

Definitely will need him to clean that up as his position is so crucial to playing that final ball into Ibra, how distributing back out wide- but cannot keep losing possession in the final third when balls are played into his feet.

[–]ReflectingGodMata 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who?

On a serious note, very disappointed again. I've seen others point out other players were relatively poor also, but none have been consistently poor for so long. And it's Rooney that is keeping Mata and Mhkitaryan on the bench. He isn't a number 10. I'd rather see him play deeper. Well, I'd rather not see him play at all. Just make him our backup striker and not waste a good chance at winning the league.

[–]PabloPervguy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He made at least 5 glaring mistakes today that could have been avoided. I still give him the benefit of the doubt but if this keeps happening then something has to change.

[–]Augmentedforth 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's typical Rooney of the last couple seasons. He needs a couple games. But I do agree, an absolutely horrid performance

[–]dazcoates 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rooney carried us through the last 6 plus years. I'll never slag him off.

[–]EpicRumourTime 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't think he was that bad, probably misplaced the most passes though

[–]ImperitoMartial 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah but when you're a nailed on stater and captain that's not really good enough.

[–]EpicRumourTime -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh I agree, I really hope he gets dropped if he under performs consistently

[–]Pro4TLZZ#WelcomeMourinho 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Time to bin him

[–]RyanSorsbyFalcao -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

He had a poor game, I think he's just a bit unfit.

[–]IVIanUnited -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

trash

It's the start of the season with a less than optimal pre-season... we will probably see some players struggle. It is true that he wasn't good enough, but it might change later on. Or not. We will see.
It also depends on how he fits into Mourinho's tactics and how well can Rooney adapt to match his expectations. Either way, it is reassuring that we have great alternatives.
