Guest TruToon94 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well the friendlies have been abysmal and if there was any justice in the world Rooney wouldn't be in the starting line up. Don't care how good he is at club level he is one of the worst international players I've ever seen at the tournament level. Especially up front. Shit attitude as well. To think he could become our top goalscorer when all he does is score against tiny shitty nations in the qualifiers and maybe one or two in a friendly is a joke. It's been ten years, I'm tired of this, "he'll do something this tournament" he won't and never will. Maybe it's because Pardew pisses me off so much but sick of this English view of, "let's just chuck our best players who change the match" on for the last thirty minutes. No successful club only sticks the better performing players on for half an hour. Not Barcelona bringing Messi on for half an hour, not Real Madrid with Ronaldo for half an hour. So ludicrous. Again this is probably due to Pardew ruining Ben Arfa by doing this. Would be really looking forward to this WC with the utmost faith in the lads if it weren't for Rooney's guaranteed starting position no matter what.

Ronaldo Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So you wouldn't start Rooney because you're totally against the idea of bringing the best players off the bench? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So one of them doesn't even exist now? Because he went in injured? I'd be pushing to acknowledge that one as hard as I could if I were you, given he performed no better when he went in fit. Though I'm sure there's another fantastic reason why he isn't to blame, even with his hilarious exit from the tournament. Which definitely wasn't his fault.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Rooney not performing for England is more to do with the managers as it is to do with him. The same with Gerrard not performing with Lampard etc. He doesn't randomly become one of the Premiership's top performers to a borderline clogger because he's pulling an England shirt on. If Hodgson cannot get Rooney to perform well for him then he has fucking no chance with the likes of Lallana and Barkley, who are in all honesty far inferior players.

Guest TruToon94 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Winning the game for us in 1 match out of 2 doesn't constitute a s*** tournament. He scored a header by running in when the ball was literally about to go in anyway. That is not, "winning the game for us" by any stretch of the imagination. It's called being a greedy bastard who does fuck all every time he plays for England in any major tournament. Even Shola could have scored that. Managers don't affect your first touch and everytime he's played for England it's been abysmal and it's like playing with ten men. Now I rate Rooney for UTD (out wide) and he demolishes us every time we play them but he's had his chance. I'd rather we start with the majority of the attack of a team who just finished second than an ungrateful bastard, who doesn't even play in the Europa League and lets us down, game in game out.

It's definitely his fault. In life if i'm blaming 4 or 5 different people for something i'm doing - I know it's something within me that's the root cause. Rooney's rarely been the star player for Man Utd either. And when he has iirc they've won nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a very good career there regardless of wether or not he's been outshone in patches by others. Leading into the last Euros, where he was 'shit', he scored 27 goals. World Cup 2010? 26. His 2 best seasons in terms of goalscoring form and then, along with most others, his form wasn't replicated in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they're trying a different approach this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I think he plays better out wide aswell, you need him in the team because of experience and also his teammates and opposition rate him higher than his current form dictates. I would go with: --------------------------Hart-------------------------- Johnson (aargh)------Jagielka-------Cahill-------Baines -----------Henderson(wiltshire)---Gerrard------------ ---Wellbeck--------Sterling-----------Rooney------ ----------------------Sturridge----------------------- Get some pace thrown at the italians as their defence has little pace. We need wellbeck to help out johnson cos' he's dogsh*te. I would also have wiltshire on for henderson at 60 minute mark or before if Woy was feeling a bit risque... Looking forward to see how we actually do in real games and if Woy has the guts to bring on some exitement instead of dreary defensive bolox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
