Can Rooney play CM next to Pogba? (self.reddevils)

United7s が 投稿

I'm curious, as someone who isn't familiar with a 4-3-3 formation, as I've only studied 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1, does Rooney have what it takes to play next to Pogba?

I know that, from watching Real, Modric is the advancing MF(Pogba) who links the mids and forwards, while Kroos plays a more deep playmaking role with Casper protecting the back four.

I believe that Pogba and Blind would work well for the team we have, but is Fellaini the best option for the Casper role? Could Rooney not play there as well?

I'm asking, and this is not a critic of tactics, but I was wondering if there was a way to get our best players on the pitch at once in a 4-3-3.

I've said this before and I say it again, Rooney should be played next to Pogba with a proper DM behind them in a 4-3-3. That's literally the only position Rooney can thrive in our team right now. He gets time in the middle and doesn't have to make too many runs as Pogba would be doing that. Rooney can receive the ball from the DM and make decisions from that point but he'll be in a lot more space than he would as a #10.

yeah and we have seen this before for the most part rooneys passing is sideways and backwards we need a hell of a DM to cover Rooney and Pogbas positional awareness and lack of defending

Rooney defends. He covers the pitch. He makes tackles. Carrick is a good enough DM to handle those responsibilities. And how about all those cross field passes from Rooney last season ? Being paired with Pogba means he just needs to support Pogbas runs etc. collect the ball, wait for Pogba to move pass to him or find one of the wingers. It's far less work than where he's currently being deployed as a #10. If he can't play CM then he should be nowhere further up the pitch

No, Pogba needs an out and out defensive DM next to him, not Rooney.

The same Rooney that ran down 2/3rds of the pitch to head the ball off the line against Everton?

After that game, pundits and football fans alike were saying his performance was like that of Pirlo, he was damn impressive then

Now, I'm not saying Rooney is Pirlo, but as a CDM, I don't think he'd be so bad.

Aside maybe tackles..... that's quite important I guess.

Carrick is the one, we're done here, Rooney isn't as bad as what people would like to believe.
