UEFA Champions League/Europa League ** Spoilers ** [27/28/29 September 2016]

Rooney has scored/assisted an amazing number of goals by completely scuffing his shot/pass.
 
hahahaha. Ibra pass to Rooney was great there, very narrow space to thread that ball and put him right in. Rooney's pass... utterly abysmal, completely embarrassing, pretty much over hit it by 20 yards.
 
What I never get is how you can go from being a professional footballer to having the technique and passing of a sunday league punter. You watch charity matches with ex-pros in their late 40s and they can still pass brilliantly. How is Rooney so bad.

Because he was never good at that, it just seems the entire industry decided he was a brilliant midfielder when he started to lose his touch up front.

It's like school playground selection, the best people up front but if you're not good at that then midfield and if you're not good at that defence and then the kid no one likes in goal.
 
Well that was appalling. Thought we were on the mend after the weekend but that was as bad as anything under LvG. Mourinho's team selections remain frustratingly clueless at times.

I don't think he's sure how he wants us to play and he's also taking a while to work out the best role for various players.
