That's a decent effort from Rooney. Misses by an inch or so, hits it first time on the run. You lot are way too critical of him.
On the replay he was a little. Caught it with the back of his boot more which took it a few inches wide. Good movement though by him. Need to see more of that
No it doesn't. If in a wall when a free kick is being taken a player raises his hand instinctively he intends to handle it and give a penalty away? No. Is it a pen? Yes.
I don't know about that, I'd still class that example as intent. The law claims it has to be deliberate iirc. As I said, it's too close, too quick and "ball to hand" imo. If it was in the goal mouth I'd say the same, but a ball that went off at an awkward angle, how could the defender possibly anticipate that. Lingard scores a beauty 2-0
Yes, I'm well aware of that. I'm saying Rooney in his prime would that chance. Doesn't matter as Lingard made it game over.
Love LVG's reaction to the goal, stays seated and makes some notes. "Add width and pace on the wings to my philosophy. Try Herrera at 10 again, it might work. Get milk."
