2017/18 Wayne Rooney

[Soap]

Rooney was playing for Allardyce’s Everton. Silva was playing for Guardiola’s City.

Stupid comparison.

Yeah Rooney and Silva are both equally good these days. Yep.

Lol

Whats LOL is a manc ferret pretending to be a blue after getting jogged on from Redcafe.

Where have I said that?

 

[sc1878]

I was slating him when he scored at the Etihad. He’s gash and we should never have gone near him.

Why would you be slating one of your own players for scoring a goal to earn us a point away at City??

Top blue you.

Silva is a world class player. Rooney isn't.

Fixed.

There’s a lot of excuses being made for him in here...

...Rooney is still a fine player (as demonstrated plenty this season), but he’s just not as effective in that deep role against the teams who put him under pressure. He needed to sit this one out, or be given a role further up the pitch.

I can't see how someone who turns over possession constantly, hasn't got legs, hogs all the set pieces and has missed 4 pens can be still considered a fine player.

Not one other team would indulge him, the amount of times he gives the ball away at this level is criminal, on top of that he can't tackle. So we shove him in midfield, we are getting laughed at.

Just read this on twitter:

David silva and Wayne Rooney are both 32. Today David silva controlled the game and played like he’s 18years old whilst Rooney looked like a 40yr old scaffolder playing in the dockyard league Sunday morning after 10 pints and a gram of shovel.

Why do you get so much joy when we lose?

From the Everton player ratings on the ESPN Sport website today (in which Rooney ranked joint bottom with Schneiderlin with 2/10): No amount of dreaming is going to turn a fading striker into an effective defensive midfielder. No tackles or interceptions defined a miserable outing in which the game went on around him.

And we pay him £150,000 a week! Unspeakable stupidity.

That, in a nutshell, is all that is wrong with the way Everton is run, managed and motivated.

A Catherine Cookson novel of a football club where typically, just as one gives up hope, the hero appears on the horizon... but sadly he's bald, p*ssed, overweight, impotent and ends up running off with the heroine's 60-year-old mum!

I'm desperately praying Gana is fit for the derby. If we have both Schneiderlin and Rooney in Midfield we will be desperately over run. Last Seasons Goodison Derby turned when McCarthy went off for Barry- he just didn't have the legs to compete.

For me Gana and Davies have to play. Maybe even Baningime too. Sam will probably poo his pants at the 'inexperienced' players starting though.

Strange player. Moments of excellence but crap most of the time.

Thing is, could say for that for everyone this season. Absolutely bizarre season.
