2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[Zezti]

Even when he's poor, he still has an eye for key pass and always a good shot on him.
Another thing I noticed; toward the end when Lookman came on and Swans had a free kick in our half, Lookman was a bit out of place and Wayne immediately went over, pushed him back into a better position. He's a good captain.

He did, that was right in front of me and Rooney was absolutely livid screaming at him to get back into position.

Much better leadership

 

[marsh]

Doesn't count it was a penalty and vs a team in the bottom 3..

In all seriousness he was poor tonight, gave away the ball loads in that first half, but scored again so can't complain too much as i like goalscorers

 

[marcus]

Not one of Rooney's better games, although still managed to set up Lennon for the first penalty which led to the first goal, had an assist for the Sigurdsson goal & scored the penalty for the second goal, not bad for a below par performance from the great man...

 

[Seanjd]

1 more league goal than Lukaku had for us at this point last season (I think).

 

[jackyboy]

Scores when not playing well and leads. He has been great.

 

[sd_1992]

Still can't play high up the pitch... Just let him play deeper and put legs around him instead of constantly trying to push him up

 

[Deco]

Make him our official captain.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Had a poor first half but Rooney doesn't hide. He always makes himself known

 

[4737carlin]

Amazing, and for free, if we spent 30m on what he has done for us this season it wouldnt of been money well spent

 

[CrustySack]

Where would we be this season without him? Now that is a scary thought.

 

[Tel001]

he was insane

dunno how he did it

this goal against us sums him up

260 prem goals and he saves his best ever for us? Everton that

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

He won’t, but he should be giving penalty duty to Gylfi. He’s got a record of missing about 1 in 3, which is nowhere near good enough.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

He was poor first half, but hopefully that teaches Allardyce that he needs to keep Wayne in the deeper role, with the legs of Gana and Davies around him.

Rooney (and therefore the whole team) improved immeasurably and instantly when we hooked Schneiderlin and dropped Wayne deeper.

Indeed.

He was very involved in all three goals.
