2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[kenada_blue]

I get that but if you are going to spend big on a player at least play him in the position he is most comfortable at and the one he was playing in that made us spunk 50 mil on him. (and yes i know if he cost 50mil he should be able to play any position across the front line)

He's comfortable playing where he is. It's where he played for Swansea last season. He's just not a player who can dictate a game.

Also, Koeman plays a 3 man attack rather than have a player off the striker, so he's not gonna play as a number 10. His system doesn't allow it.

I do think he's been one of our better players this season, although admittedly that's like saying he's been one of the better boxers at a chess club.

He desperately needs a rest now, though. He can't play the number of games he does.

The dropping really deep thing that he does leaving our 1 striker isolated. He seem to do that at Man Utd and England too. I find it really irritating

 

[KaiserEFC]

I love how that every single game he tries the 40 yard shot, when there are much better options on. Utter hero.

Mourinho knew it. Even Gareth Southgate knew it.

But no, Everton are a charity for the past it, Man U hand me downs.

Why is he still starting every single game?

Crap

He's 31, the same age that Olivia Newton John was when she played Sandy. And two years younger than Frank Bruno was when he won the world title for the first time.

He'll be 32 in a few weeks, though.

In football years he's nearer 40 though. Same way he was nearer 25 physically when he was 16.

United are a different side without him slowing them down.

Be interesting to see how sigurdson and klassen play with out him, I like him but maybe he's unbalancing the team.

One of issues at the moment but still one of our better performance. Doesn't need to be dropping deep if hes picked to play up front. Rather see him used every couple of games without the other 2

 

[roy vernon]

If that were true, how did you see his performance vs Stoke?

Adrenaline mate, he was so fired up for his first league game back, unfortunately, without real pace around him to give him options to use his football brain and passing ability (and he ain't getting any of that with this manager) then he is not worth his place.

 

[jonnyboy316]

He has been very difficult to accommodate in a team for 5 years now since he lost his burst of pace that enabled him to play as a 9. He is no good in midfield and gets in the way and slows down the play dropping deep when at 10. A lot of us saw this coming. He certainly puts in 100% but it just is not there. Very sad. It also appears the manager does not have the spine to drop him

Great goal last night.....

A lot of us did but you still have the cultish maniacs who see Wayne as incapable of doing nothing wrong. He simply cannot start on Sunday, but he will, which is why Koeman has to go.

He isn't out, is he?

During or after the game.

During. As predicted.
