elampiro, How is Paulinho doing nowadays. I know his pace and power things would dominate the EPL |

![]() THE PROBLEM WITH WAYNE: Rooney's desperation to make an impact is proving counter-productive. United desperately need a focal point for their attack, and rooney would best be served concentrating on his striking duties. Newcastle's centre-back pairing of steven taylor and fabricio coloccini are hardly blessed with great pace, but rooney's reluctance to play off the last man ensured that they were rarely tested. Rooney had more touches in the centre circle than in newcastle's box, and also shows his tendency to drift into wide positions and abandon his role as United's central striker. Rooney's performances so far this season have simply been down to a lack of positional focus!......sky sports! Abeg "zlatan ibrahimovic" is for sale and would cost only £6m! If this fat boy refuses to remember simple tactical instructions from the training ground, they should get ibra in so that he can learn 1st hand what the role of a center foward is about all over again from a master! |

funlord:de pace wey we de even talk about rooney no get am again, instead of him to find any source of means of troubling dia defence he was busy dragging the number10 role with januzaj which means even if mata is playing in the hole, he'll hardly make an impact cause the olodo fati bombom will be there with him looking for a ghost centre forward to pass to. Memphis depay was even moving up front than the fatso

My Review of United Attack So Far. Rooney Much has bin said about the untouchable captain.His performance can only be said to be next thing to mediocre.He will always struggle playing as a CF.He makes the 4-2-3-1 formation looks like we r playing with no striker.Rooney has lost the needed speed,tenacity and movement needed to be the focal point of the attack.He looks to be too slow in his movement &thinking dwells too long on the ball.He doesnt make runs to stretch defences. Hernandez is the closest thing we have to a CF. My opinion-If Rooney is too perform he is to play as a second striker or betterstill as number ten where he will be afforded more time and space.He doesn't look comfortable as a CF again.Rooney likes to get involved in the build up play,spreading passes to the wings.In my opinion he still has something to offer but a title challenging team shouldnt be built around some1 like him. Mata. Mata is our best performer going forward this season.His consistency has bin second to non in the attack.I just don't see why the easiest decision seems to be the most difficult one for Plato.I don't understand a philosophy that makes mata a winger.Bar Silva I don't know of a superior number 10 in the EPL.Mata is a liability on the wings.His best performance comes when he drifts infield. Opinion-Mata should be our no rival 10.Mata thrives on space.He can't survive in the 7 cubicle. Memphis. Memphis is a raw talent.Hez got the confidence and talent to be a top player.The two goals he scored in the playoff a testament.But the guy still needs to improve on his decision making and put in more seriousness in his game.Or else he might just be another Nani or Quaresma.His defensive contribution hasn't bin impressive too. Opinion-With time and a coach like LVG Memphis will come good.He will develop to be our game changer. Januzaj. Januzaj his still under progressive development.Hez got the potential.He needs more time.But not has a no10 and a starting 11.He has still got a lot to learn.Moreover not all player is blessed with the the exquisite skill of cropping out spaces behind the opponents defence line. Opinion-Januzaj still needs time to play off the bench and probably as a winger. 1 Like |

weedtaker: This is rubbish. I can show you uncountable times Van Persie was not the highest playing forward even in 2012/13 from opta average position. I can also go back to show you Rooney`s average position behind one or two players in 2009/2010 from opta. Even when Rooney averaged one goal per match as a striker in the absence of Van Persie and Welbeck under Moyes, Rooney scored most of the goals involving in the build up from the deep. When he scored the second goal against West Ham, Rooney played the ball out from our box for a counter, by time Ashley Young got to the opposition box, Rooney had arrived there already waiting for the ball, then he scored. This is how it was when Val, Nani and Giggs were the providers. But our new guys are still learning how to counter. We have lost 5 counters this season. One of them in the first match, Rooney started from our box, after running to the final third with defenders out of position, Januzaj attempted an unnecessary dribble in the midfield and lost possession. Yesterday, Mata killed two counters due to lack of pace, while Januzaj got caught trying to dribble instead of passing the ball. All in the first half. It's not all strikers who thrive staying inside of the box like Chicharito. Chicharito is a box specialist, he is has always been very active there and capitalizes on mistakes, passes, etc when we pressure. But if we don't pressure he offers nothing. This is why he has always been best when we need a goal badly. |

Behold the very first I checked. ![]() Using you guys deluded logic, we can say here Van Persie abadoned his striking duties and obstructed Welbeck. I can bring countless ones like this from Van Persie and world class strikers. See Ronaldo ahead of Higuain and Ozil. So we can say Ozil was obstructed by Higuain? I check these charts every now and then. The best positional chart is that of Zonal Marking. As for opta, I rely on their heat map.

Please lets stop antagonising rooney please. None of us here would be happy if someone came to our house and start accusing our wife or family member of something they didn't do. We would do all to prove that person wrong because blood is thicker than water. We should apply the same to Rooney on this thread. Lets repect his spouse here please! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:52pm On Aug 23, 2015 |

like I I hv already said ,let's give Wazza till December to decide if he worth de number nine position or not but to be honest he can't score up to 17 goals this season n more over LVG is not interested in a striker this window. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:12pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
This was when City beat us at Old Trafford in 2013. Silva played higher than Tevez according to opta Average position chart. Silva was actually highest on the line when Tevez was behind when they beat us.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 1:23pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
parrotibaba:till December? Are you kidding me? We'd be at what position on the table then without goals. 1 goal in 3 games is totally unacceptable. Our manager better address the attack very soon. The English media that asked he's moved to CF position last season now say his best position is behind a striker. |

When we beat City in 2012 at Ethihad, Valencia played the highest on our line. Higher than Van Persie and Rooney. Opta chart says Van Persie was fighting with Rooney according to you guys' logic. ![]() On City side, Ballotelli played top 9 but on average position he was behind Aguero and Nasri. Are you guys entertained? ![]()

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:34pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
^^^ The average position of our forward at Ethihad exactly same as against Newcastle.. Memphis = Valencia.... Playing highest. Rooney = Van Persie. Januzaj = Rooney. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 1:42pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
Thank God Rooney isn't on Nairaland, he would have voluntarily requested the Manager to bench him in the subsequent matches (probably playing as a sub) due to the massive bashing he's receiving on this thread every minute. ![]() ![]() ![]() Man United problem so far isn't Rooney rather LVG. Mata has shown he could flourish as No 10, then why is it difficult for Van Gaal to play him where he deserved? The Manager insists on playing a second Striker as No 10, yet his philosophy (tactic) is yielding no goal. Herreira would have been a perfect No 10 with his killer passes and eye for goals, yet he is rotten on the Bench. I hope the Coach listen to the Fans and do the needful in the next matches. GGMU!!! |
