Rooney has been our top scorer in the last two seasons, [s]and he is mostly likely to end our top scorer baring injuries[/s]. Under Moyes despite being injured and playing many minutes in the deep he ended top of our scorers chart. He was also was highest in Asists.

SAF is backing him to get into gear this season. Apart from Martial he is still most likely to get us goals. A proven player is a proven player.

StarBoard:

Sorry i had to edit this.

I do not agree with the above.

He dismantled the backroom staff and appointed his lackeys.
So it's not like he didn't have the freedom to do what he wanted, but because he has nothing upstairs, he bungled that opportunity, even with a side that was league defending champions.

On the matter of him running the ship, the job of Man. United manager is NOT for all and sundry.

As per his first season with Sociedad, where did he end up? mid-table, as is his usual position.
And if he was as good as some of us think he is, why couldn't he conjure up the same magic this season?

For all we want to say about LvG,both good and bad, he has earned the right to do things any way he likes. His career resume speaks for itself. Moyes cannot and should not be allowed to do anything his way till he wins a trophy. He shouldnt even coach a sunday league team sef.

nyabinghi:

SailorXY:

ogbeni no dey wish us bad abeg end top scorer ko. what did we manage with his top scoring the past two years? *spits*

AdeLaNa1:
Some people still believe Rooney will end up being our top scorer

We go all dey here together by May

AdeLaNa1:
He is jumping higher and higher. He is running faster. He is shooting more. He is stretching his muscles.

Wat are the basic requirements of a Striker if not to do these things on a regular basis??

Sometimes it feels as if its a 10 yr old that is behind this elàmpiro account

elampiro:


You don't know what it means to bring a player to fitness. My statements would be understood by any intelligent being.

Sometimes if you force fitness, you get a hamstring or a muscle injury and you go back to square one. If someone like Rooney should go to injury for a month, it means he will need another four months to get to where is is now.

Nihilist:


Ahh black people dey rugby?

The only ones I ever saw there were at the prisons at Onley

AdeLaNa1:
Yes! Yes! You're absolutely right! Lets give Rooney the pleasure of the whole season sef to get back to fitness.

elampiro:

Many of una no know ball. Why I dey even dey waste my time.

SIRcumalot:

Lwkmd!!
Soon as rooney goes on a wonderful run of assist and goal scoring then you
can say whatever now isn't the time.

190theclown:





where black people come de

elampiro:


I am not even saying anything of praise. I am giving some points like a situation report on his gradual improvement. And he really showed energy in his last game. I said he needs to add confidence to that. His confidence is currently shattered.

Anything bad in this?

SIRcumalot:

Lwkmd!!
Soon as rooney goes on a wonderful run of assist and goal scoring then you can say whatever, now isn't the time.

elampiro:

The last two games, we can see Rooney is doing things he refused to do in all previous games. He is jumping now - jumping higher, he is running faster and longer, he is shooting more, he is not just tackling but chasing back and wining them. He is passing better. His control and take downs are better. He's playing more direct and even confronting defenders with direct runs. Now he has to boost his confidence.

Sometimes I wonder if he were told to stretch his muscles less in previous games. I wonder how suddenly he played more with energy in the last one week, particularly the last game.

It looks like the managers knew something we didn't know. Hence they kept faith and tried to bring him to fitness.

I wish he continues even better and start scoring.

These your tales sef.
Do you know that the whole team being held back by Wayne Rooney? Let's not look into the last two years, player sales & surrounding circumstances, I'm looking @ this season.
As it stands, nothing suggests Chicharito would've fared worse than Rooney. Even if Chicharito is a poacher (let's assume cuz we all know his ball skills improved massively) & the team carries him, the opposition knows there's a genuine goal-threat in there somewhere & will be wary. What we get with Rooney is the team carrying him YET he offers nothing to trouble the opposition even when through on goal. As a "ball-playing striker" (refer to coogar's .gif) all he does is miscontrol the ball, run like a donkey, pride himself on 'work rate' & bull - who cares about that from a CF? Seeing Rooney score these days is an exception rather than a norm, & when you factor in the playing time he seizes from better options - it becomes a monumental disgrace!

Chicharito had a very poor showing in his final game before his sale there's no doubt about it, but what if he's already been told he stood no chance no matter how Rooney fares? We all heard LvG say something like that quite raw in public, how much less in private meetings?

Let's not deceive ourselves, Martial was brought in cuz it was glaring we would be closer to Chelshit right now than to top 4 if Rooney continued leading the line. Every single player has been benched or shunted about just to accommodate Rooney, where's the substantial result? Defensive stability will crack if the strikers are not turning defenders efforts to points!

Two paltry goals (he even had to pushed in for one) & you think Rooney is worth discussing? Grab a random Man United fan by the balls even from Rooney's county & demand a list performers this season - White Pele won't feature in anyone's top 15 except his regular ball lickers

coogar:


when will that be?

don't you people get tired of these excuses? rooney is the only player in the world that is allowed to have fitness problems during the course of a season.

if all these kinda excuses were given for the forwards sold by LVG, they would all still be here. admit it, rooney is finished! he's not at OT because anyone expects him to come back to fitness, he's still at OT because they want him to break SBC's goal record at the club.

SIRcumalot:

What does SBC's goal record mean ?
Check my reply to Elampiro's comment am not making excuses for the guy.

Rooney isn't finished and I don't think he has fitness issues he has just been playing horribly.

If he improves upon his performance in the last two games (which is possible) I see know reason why he won't hit a purple patch soon.

StarBoard:

For the record, this is not about LvG vs Moyes.
It' s about how incompetent Moyes was as United manager and how he should never have been one in the first place.

van Gaal might win nothing and could still be given leeway and benefit of the doubt at Man. United.
Moyes is still searching for his first trophy nearly a quarter of a decade into his management sojourn, where scraps like Allardyce, Redknapp, McLeish, MacLaren alll have won trophies.
