Well no. Others are allowed to score as well, maybe if we didn't expect Rooney to be our only goal scorer? He's out of form but he's the captain. Though of any player has earned the right to play himself onto form, in this United side, its Rooney. He's been here a while after all, a few fall outs aside, he's done it all with and for us. And Rooney started out wide as a teenager, most do, its part of a natural progression for that type of striker.
So the penny has finally dropped for the utd fans in regards to woooney and how incredibly overrated he has been for yonks
Overrated? Yes, compared d with the standards he was set at 16. Yes, he was expected to go on and be the best player in English history. Overrated in hindsight? Nope. One of the PL all time greatest players. Better than any, and there are no exceptions, Liverpool player who has ever played in the PL. Anyway, some positives. 10 games 2015/16 - 20 points 10 games 2014/15 - 13 points 10 games 2013/14 - 14 points. Best start we've had in years.
I know others can score, but Rooney is being played in the main striker position at the expense of others who are being forced to make way for him. When Rooney was pushed out wide it was to do the donkey work for Ronaldo who was delivering with his goals. The difference here is Martial is being made to do the donkey work for Rooney, but Rooney isn't delivering consistently enough to warrant others being forced out wide to accomadate him. Martial is a better striker than Rooney, and Herrera is a better number 10, so Rooney shouldn't be in the side. It's as simple as that really
Unfortunately that's natural. Young strikers get shifted wide. Happened to Rooney, Henry, Messi etc. It's what you do. I agree he shouldn't be playing though. I disagree with the rewriting of history and blame being layer solely at his and the managers feet. We played against £billion bus.
Rooney. Led his team to multiple titles. Suarez. Usually banned. We can do a direct comparison of you like. We can even let you include Suarez goals in Holland, they can count for .5 yeh? Who's achieved more, individually and as part of a team?
You do come across as a bitter young man If it had been a goalless draw at the Etihad you'd have called it a defensive masterclass from the turtle Poor game,better point for City than Utd
Pfft none of that matters, suarez is a better player than Rooney has ever been at any stage of his career so far.... end of, full stop. Id bet my house if suarez had played for utd as long as Rooney has he would have surpassed all of Rooney records and achievements.
How is it a better point for you? You could have gone 5 clear of us but you were cowardly. Surprising from City tbh.
I can guarantee that's rubbish. Because Suarez would never have played for us. Ever. Plus even of he had, once he was outed as a racist, he would have been done. Some clubs have class you see, some clubs are Liverpool.
Oh right ok we are changing the subject again (I'll try to keep up) Are you saying that Rooney is a better player than suarez? Or just that his records and personal achievements are better? Because As stated in my previous post those are two very very different things indeed.
de bruyne has been found in Rojo's pocket. The Citybus bore the world with anti football at the home of the 20
Without our 2 best players and we've not been playing well for a while so a point at old Trafford is a good point for us as we were there for the taking if Utd had shown a bit more ambition
Its a local derby, anything can happen, City were scared of UTD and dont use the excuse of best 2 players out, you have plenty who can replace them. Still a draw was a fair result, City will be the happiest I agree.
