Yeah. A blessing in disguise

From a man utd point of view. The world cup was not great for us, as LvG has such little time to assess his squad and make changes. We have a big opportunity to hit the ground running with the fixtures but he rightfully needs time to see who can adapt to his methods in the squad and who cant and then time required for negotiations of any signings which also doesnt leave time for those signings to bed in the squad. Its now less than a month to the start of the season.

Exactly, we should even be happy he didn't go on a break after the WC.

Since Giroud came to England, Rooney is yet to out score him. And Giroud is useless.

* Giroud is a lone striker for Arsenal.

* Rooney did not play as a striker even for a single match in 2012/13

* Rooney played less than 10 matches in the striker role for Man United in 2013/14

* Rooney scored at about 2 goals per match from the striker's role when he was given the run of games last season.

* Rooney and Giroud did not have same playing minutes.




Don't start what you cannot finish. Rooney plays same role as Ozill does for Arsenal. Rooney sometimes play in the midfield. I don't know the club you support, just incase.

Rooney plays d same position as ozil. For how long do u want to go on with this Ur epistle?

Elamps....Ur blood too dey rush. I never post my comment u don begin insult me. Thank God....the mod pass u

lekkie073: Elamps....Ur blood too dey rush. I never post my comment u don begin insult me. Thank God....the mod pass u

What were you even saying? Rooney has more goals in each season even though he had far less playing time. He also got more assists.

* I dint insult you. Dunno why the mod banned me.

Can't wait for our first pre season game.

Judinho59: So, Germany is ranked 1 and Brazil 7

Rooney is a supporting striker. In an average united 4-4-2 formation Rooney pairs with the striker. All these Ur saying Rooney plays the 10 position is rub..sh. Any time anyone in football world wants to discus Rooney, its from the perspective of him being a forward. QED!

Highest goal scorers in this WC were not CF so spare us those position sh!.t.

Highest earners should lead the goal scoring chart like CR7 n Messi

Dats a hybrid formation....conventional football understands backline , midfielders and forwards.....

2012/2013 season.
* Giroud..... Minutes played 2323, goals 11, assists 3, minutes per goal 211

* Rooney... Minutes played 2020, goals 12, assists 10, minutes per goal 202



2013/2014
*Giroud..... Minutes played 3081, goals 16, assists 8, goals per minutes played 192.5

* Rooney... Minutes played 2448, goals 17, assists 10, goals per minutes played 144

Flawless Victory !!!!!!!!! Best CB in EPL. Kos the BOSS!!!!!.

lekkie073: Dats a hybrid formation....conventional football understands backline , midfielders and forwards....4-2-3-1 is a derivation from 4-5-1 or 4-2-4. Stop mumu-ing yaself joor

This guy is insulting and the mod is quiet,but when I respond now they would want to ban me.

*** lekkie073, I leave your post to disgrace you.

4-2-3-1 was introduced mostly to help cope with the new offside rules. With the new offside rules in the mid 90s or so, the defenders tend to seat deeper thereby creating a huge gap in the midfield. Some managers created four tier formations and the 4-2-3-1 appeared to be most effective after years of study. Among many things, instead of having two up front strikers, one striker was required to seat upfront while a playmaker was required to play a far more withdrawn role bridging the gap between the two traditional CM and the forwards- (lonestriker, and two wingers)

With the new offside rule, the role of the traditional 'libero' was eliminated.

You have clearly deviated from the topic. And if we should tow this line, it will be endless.

* So why did the highest earners not end up as top scorers in the world cup? Ronaldo and Messi

* I though a certain Ibrahimvic was a 'highest earner'? Why did he not make the world cup?

* The argument was not about wages and goals. I guess you know this.


* I was surprised that some of you swallowed that guys statement like it was eba, even though it was highly screwed, incorrect and biased on arrival. You guys buy into any thing negative as far as it has to do with Rooney. It goes to show how much you guys are biased towards him.

It's a pity.

My 'enemies' on this thread grow every day. Someone will soon send antispamboat after me. It's happens when my arguments don't favour them, then they take side. Make una eat the thread.

So they earn highest in their national team?

It's also a pity u always screen this thread for the mention of the name 'Rooney'. I'm beginning to think he pays u for this job.
Anyone that speaks against him is your enemy. SMH!

Giroud is among the worst strikers in every stat out there. His CCC, his shots per goal inside the box, his chances created...

.....
I saw this:

Inside the box conversion rates are as follows

Balotelli: 8 for 57 = 14.0%

Giroud: 16 for 90 = 17.8%

Benzema: 15 for 82 = 18.3%

Mandzukic: 18 for 74 = 24.3%

Cavani: 15 for 75 = 20%

chrisley024:

You brought the world cup/goal scoring comparison. You left the topic at hand completely.
