    Anyone reading that will see the only one blubbering is you.

    Pray tell us Obi Wun, who is the "next Zidane"?

    I agree with Terry Henry. It takes a special kind of coward to stick a player like Tony Montana out on the wing to accommodate Rooney (and to hone his striker skills, like Henry did...)

    “What is he doing there? I actually do not know what he is doing there.
    “He should be in the penalty area, having a one versus one, scoring and celebrating. Is it fear? Is it because they have been brainwashed a bit too much? I just don’t get it.

    “They wanted a guy who scored goals. They wanted a guy to run in behind fast. He came in and did that. Suddenly now he finds himself out there, almost not touching the ball.

    “I think if I had a player like that, he would be my No, 9 and the rest are around him.”

    It's not tough. If a striker is fit, you have to play at least one striker over whatever the hell Wayne Rooney is getting paid for being... I assume he has Nike ticks inscribed on his arse and Chevrolet tattooed to his dick to recoup some of the money.

    That post was from months back and so is therefore no longer relevant.

    Lots of water under the bridge since then. Lots.

    I like 4-1-4-1 for you. With Martial at striker, Rooney and Herrera central, Mata right and Depay left.

    ---------------Martial
    Depay-Rooney-Herrera-Mata
    --------------Schneiderlin
    -Blind-Smalling-Jones-Young
    ---------------De Gea---------------
