Despite winning 3-1 tonight, it wasn't a great performance. For me, Herrera and carrick were the best players on the pitch. Rooney did absolutely nothing. His passing wasn't good and his touch was terrible. If I was the manager this would be rooney's last season with us. Nobody knows his best position and we are playing better players out of position because of him. The Rooney who signed for us and the Rooney we saw for years is nowhere to be seen and we shall never see him again. If we were to change his name to an unknown name and no reputation he wouldn't get a game. He's simply not good enough! I've been a fan of him for years but for me his time is up. If we can sell him next summer and get some money for him we are winning!

Dont want to be going on about rooney but like you said if he was unknown i honestly think he wouldn't even get in the Northampton side.

It's a win, and that's all that's important. Good to give the younger players a chance to impress too. I think all of them represented themselves very well.
The most important thing was Carrick. He's finally been told he can pass a ball forward again. I would really like to see herrera and himself alongside each other with pogba playing in front with the freedom.
Rushford just continues to shine. Many forwards wouldn't haven't bothered chasing that down. He is setting an example to the others.
It is a very important game against Leicester at the weekend. I am very excited to see what Jose is going to do as there are some tough decisions to be made.

Pogba, Herrera and Carrick is a dream midfield.
But against Leicester if we still can I'd like us to play a 3-5-2.
Would make it easier for the CFs to cope with their attack and Ranieri would not be expecting a back 5.

Rooney has been our Gerrard for a very long time now and we all know how that one ended.

Th problem with sitting rooney is it will be a circus with the media and the noise that comes with it. As stated many times even by Fergie a player that needs to play both from a fitness perspective and form perspective. I think Jose has a very difficult decision to make and do not envy him. Sitting him will not improve his form when he comes back as he will be out of shape.

Who wants him coming back?

Said that very thing 18 months - 2 years ago Scottish. He would have been a fringe player for a few years had he not been living off his past quality and exploits. He has been a spent force for 2-3 years now, and is holding back our team from moving forward. We need to say thank you for what you did between the ages of 18 and 26/ 27, but the time has come to move along. Let him leave for free if it gets him a move somewhere he wants to be, as his wages will be a problem for a lot of teams. USA is a possibility, he'd still look decent there and could get decent wages.

We'll take him at Celtic he'd do a turn for us plus he's a Celtic fan, though maybe a return to his boyhood heroes Everton could be on his mind before he retires, i think he could still make a contribution at United though.
