Yay let's turn another thread into another Rooney bashing thread ranging from his personal life to how he's a terrible player etc etc etc.

I'd say Kaka's better than Rooney?

Have I missed your sarcasm?

Maybe years and years ago but no way is he any more.

As for why Rooney drops deep for England

1.) He's been asked to play wide left today
2.) He never gets the ball if he stays up front because the service is so damn ****, that's why he drops deep.

The way Johnson and Young are linking up down the right hand side looks promising for Liverpool next season

Rabid Wolf · 26 Mar 2011 at 15:59

I'd like to see Andy Carroll given 45 mins alongside Bent.

If he did any better than our midfielders that could be used as a valid excuse but he doesn't. In fact, he's worse.

What do you expect from an overpaid thick chav

I will admit that in the past he has shown world class skills, but over the past 12months in general I haven't seen much of it. Maybe a overhead kick and thats about it.

err , perhaps if he gives them a chance perhaps the service will be good , wilshire is a great provider of the ball , and with lampard as well i cant see why he needs to keep droping deep?

Bent and Defoe are a better combination.

In what way is he worse? This season for United he's set up more goals than any of the England midfielders by doing exactly that, dropping deep and getting the ball.

He's given the ball away more and creating nothing.

Lampard has 3 assists this year, Wilshere has two. I'd say Rooney is better.

We're only playing one up front today then Young right, Rooney left. Why is that so hard to see :confused:

It's the same thing Fergie does for United (except Nani right, Hernandez up front in that case)

Ace Modder · 26 Mar 2011 at 16:15

But Rooney is NOT a midfielder! He is a foward. Why don't we play Joe Hart up front? Cos he is a goalkeeper, so why do it with Shrek?

Ace Modder · 26 Mar 2011 at 16:17

So who has been Englands best player so far?

Collins.

beachBOYken · 26 Mar 2011 at 16:19

apparently rooney because he is better than everyone else!

Haha, too true!

Then tell the managers who keep playing him there!

Rooney has always operated in that gap between attack and midfield, he loves dropping deep and picking up the ball to distribute it wide or to the other forward.

How are Wilshere and Ramsey playing?

Ramsey was the worst attacking player on the pitch in the first half but has improved a little in the second. Wilshere looks like he's played for England for years.
