Wigan Athletic vs. Manchester United

[OneUnited24]

Rooney is in a right huff out there, lucky not be off already, maybe he knows he isn't starting on Tuesday.

I would really be shocked if he didnt start vs Chelsea, i dont want him to given his current form but SAF does have a habit of playing him in the big game and hoping it pays off.

Rooney has always been inconsistant but this season he almost looks like hes forgotten the basics, every pass seems to be underhit or off target. Given the amount hes played this season you would think he would start to look the player of old.

 

[Lester Freamon]

What?

I hope he goes - i also hope he scores today as i want United to win.

I've just had enough of him.

I'd agree with that.

 

[JayWalker]

And I got criticised for suggesting Nani should have passed rather than shot during an incident midway through the half

Matchday threads usually contain two groups of posters, one who cant see anything wrong and one who cant see anything right. There's no balance, either a player is a legend, beyond improvement or he's shit, beyond repair.

 

[Red Dreams]

Rooney has no support.

hopefully that is addressed.

 

[RonaldoVII]

The system we've started with it wouldn't have made sense for someone to be bounding up front from the right back position. Evra is more conservative this afternoon too so far. I think it's just a symptom of the system we're playing as to why Rafael is on the bench.

Rafael can be conservative. He can also pass to someone in front of him, unlike O'Shea this afternoon who seems to be kicking it anywhere and expecting someone to chase it.

 

[MUFAN79]

Rooney will score in this half

 

[IhabX7]

Chicharito's movement for the goal is why he's so invaluable. Berbatov or Rooney would have just stood behind the defender waiting for Nani to do the impossible.

Absolutely. Rooney is so frustrating off the ball, makes the wrong run 4 times out 5.

My granny could have played better than Carrick did against Marseille.

Carrick went missing again for the first half hour today. Last fifteen he's played himself into it a liitle more.

I liked seeing him pick the ball up, take a couple touches forward, and then get rid of it. He's remarkably good on the ball, but didn't do this at all against Marseille.

 

[R.N7]

Poor streaming today.

 

[sidsutton]

now watch Rooney score and the cock sucking commence. We've got some shitty fans.

 

[Scholesy]

Rooney has no support.

hopefully that is addressed.

He has had the ball many times and failed to even keep possession.

 

[gbgary]

The defence has been fine. Its the Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime in midfield giving the ball away constantly yhat have left the back four exposed as usual.

a team with some finishers would have killed them.

 

[Werewolf]

Bloody hell

How about some objectivity ? If any other non United player had the same attitude Rooney had in the first half, he would have been slaughtered.

 

[Rado_N]

That's only the case should he get booked, I think.

Nah, as long as the ref saw it there's nothing they can do

 

[Aaron]

Poor streaming today.

Mine was alright first half. It tends to denigrate as the game goes on, which annoys me. People suddenly deciding they're interested in the game in the 80th minute and logging on slowing it down.

 

[Sir Matt]

Rooney has no support.

hopefully that is addressed.

He's supposed to be supporting Chicharito after he drops deep, but he drops deep and then passes the ball to the other team or loses it. He's done well once or twice, but he's screwed up more often.

Berbatov on, Rooney Off.

 

[Justin]

good save again VDS

 

[Tumbling-Dice]

VDS to the rescue again.

MotM.

 

[Drifter]

That was on target.Great save

 

[pauldyson1uk]

They can't do anything since they saw it, but he only saw that Rooney ran into him. He'd have sent Rooney off if he'd seen him just run up and elbow him, but his angle didn't allow that.

He should come off at half so he doesn't get his dumb, greedy arse sent off.

I agree he should of been sent off.
Yes he should come off , but some on her want him left on and Hernandez off , just madness

 

[CentreForward]

phew

 

[Sarni]

Carrick got the ball.

 

[tyrone red]

another great save vds

 

[Tumbling-Dice]

Well played Carrick.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

now watch Rooney score and the cock sucking commence. We've got some shitty fans.

even if he scores 10 you wont find me sucking up to him

 

[Mockney]

Rooney has no support.

hopefully that is addressed.

Considering he's been essentially playing himself in midfield, I'm not sure how you've worked that out.

 

[buckooo1978]

michael carrick doing well today - good to see

 

[phelans shorts]

Nah, as long as the ref saw it there's nothing they can do

The ref can't send a player off for something he doesn't see, he can call the game back for something he doesn't see though if there is a man down as a result.

 

[gbgary]

nice by vid there. wish we played more like that. deny the pass and shot.

 

[mariachi-19]

sir bobby wearing his cat again

 

[CentreForward]

Bebe and Obertan posting on the caf from thier cells?

 

[sdb4884]

I hope thats a match radio Obertan is listening to...

 

[prateik]

b3b3 reading the caf on his iphone
the tan listening to the podcast
giggs is bored

 

[Hellboy]

Good awareness from Rooney

 

[teh_dog]

we need three but i cannot see us scoring another unless changes are made. someone needs to hold the ball up top and wait for support

 

[Hitchcocker]

WTF is Obertan doing with headphones during the match? Pay some fecking attention unless you're listening to Football for Dummies.

 

[sdb4884]

Nani awesome

 

[CentreForward]

Nani ffs pass the ball

 

[prateik]

argh nani.

 

[buckooo1978]

giggs totally focused on match

meanwhile Bebe and Obertan on their Ipods/Phones
