2017/18 Wayne Rooney

What about away games where he constantly gives the ball away?
Hes normally the only player trying forward passes so he's more likely to give the ball away then someone passing sideways or backwards.
Our poor movement doesn't help either.

Against these poor sides, I think we need Rooney to be able to control the game.

Him giving the ball away all the time means we don't control the game. It is depressing that people still see him as an important player next season. The days of having Arteta in there are a distant memory.
 

He shouldn't have been in that position today, you don't use a jet washer to water the plants or a sledgehammer to tap in a picture hook. We have a team of tools (HA ain't that the truth!) at the managers disposal and he managed to pick the wrong ones for the task. We needed agile and quick players to chase down the city players and make life difficult for them. How can someone get paid millions of pounds and still make basic mistakes I never know.

Therefore we shouldn't round on Rooney as it isn't his fault, of course he could have been better but a couple of minutes chasing shadows would have worn him down to the extent when he got on the ball he couldn't make the correct decisions.

He could be our next Barry for a couple years. He still can pick out of a long pass if only
/there were guys around him allowed to get forward
//you don't compliment is total lack of pace by pairing him with Cap'n Traffic Cone.

Some match days Wayne has been excellent, others he's been bad. Its what usually happens in the beginnings and twilight of your career. He's been working hard all season though. On a non-top 6 club with a competent manager he'd be a much much better player.

You actually want to extend his contract? Good god
