Default Rooney........ Is he for real

What a comment, he and all the others need to give themselves a shake. All the big names were poor and yet he makes a big thing about Booing when people have spent £1000's to go and watch him and others. Big over paid fool, been told to watch his conduct already.
Rooney, Gerrard, Barry, Terry, heskey, Johnson and Lampard all poor today. Thought James looked strong, although not much to do, what he did show good confidence. Bring back the passion of "Physco and the boys". Rant over...

Should drop Rooney for his performance, or lack of it, and his comments.
Put Joe Cole on and Defoe, put Gerrard OR lampard in the middle and watch the other teams crap themselves with the pace running at them.
Bunch of overpaid primadonnas, they shouldn't have bad days at there level, If I have a bad day at work someone dies its not like they have any real consequences is it!!

Rooney couldn't hold anything up. He never looked like getting a goal. I think its a joke that he got moved to the wing, should have been subbed. He even pulled out of a couple of 50/50 challenges in the last 10 minutes, played like he wasn't interested and had a poor attitude.

Defoe did more in 15 minutes than Rooney in 2 games. Should take his place in the starting line up. Team should be picked on form, not big names and reputations.

I said he was over-rated and got serious stick on here. I wouldn't put him in the top 15 in the world, most.English think he's top 3, jokers.

overrated!!!!

his had one bad patch while struggling with getting over an injury, losing premiership, getting dumped out of champions league etc etc.

This sort of thing affects people like him and hes not getting any support from capello.

He obviously does not agree with what Capello is doing...

Looks like most of the players dont to be honest.

Is that why his touch was poor and his passing was off? Do me a favour.

As for not agreeing with what Capello is doing, isn't Heskey in the side because that's who Rooney prefers playing off? Can't expect much more can you?

You say about the premier league and champions league failures, shouldn't that make him more determined to succeed at the world cup?

if pro footballers cant raise their game for the world cup no matter what position theyre playing then they need kicked into touch and new guys given a chance.

Everybodys was off pal...

Please tell me when rooney has told any media or anyone that he prefers to play off of heskey.

Its bollocks, he scored 30+ goals last season playing mostly on his own, i suggest he prefers playing that way with good service down the sides.

Unfortunately we dont have good service now becks is out.

Lennon And wright phillips are SHIT

GERRARD can beat the player and cross at the byline.

Wingbacks were terrible, Johnson had worst game of his career.

The forward is only good as the service heskey played every bit as bad as rooney.

and playing out of position is a poor excuse for a pro. its all part of the same game so a pro should manage in other positions.
its not like a joiner turning up for work and being expected to wire up the main electric fuse board.

no its could be likened to a touring car driver having to win in a formula 1 car.

I wonder how many could do it.

Footballers play in one position all there life and are then played out of position in the biggest competition in the world.

Seems like the manager has lost it to me.

No Joe Cole... Not taking young adam johnston

Playing heskey WTF is he doing.

biggest loss, David Beckham, whenever he plays he 150% all over the pitch and plays with his heart and soul for England. I bet hes disappointed with the England performance and frustrated that he cant get on and make a difference. Need to try something completely different next time. What the hell was Glenn Jonson playing, he might as well turned up with a fucking snooker cue he was that shite!

Heskey looked shit because we had no consistent attack, if he can't play off the momentum he's crap because he can't generate his own anymore. Gerrard & Lampard need playmakers, Barry did a shit job of it last night, Joe Cole would of been much better option to tear them up in the middle of pitch... that's all they did sat zonally and picked off our worries, made their counters look half good. As said Johnson had a shocker, Belhadj always had ACRES down his wing.

No-one on the team wanted that win, not good

I'll agree with that, even playing rooney as a lone striker would be an impovement and 5 across the middle.

Think most of the teams dont understand its the world cup and need to play attacking football. Do or Die in a world cup so get on with it England!

Sorry but thats bull. If you were asking a centre half to play up front or out on the wing then maybe, Gerrard ( a supposedly world class midfielder) should be able to play anywhere in midfield, he may not play a similar game as say wright phillips but not all wide side midfielders do the beat a load of players and get a cross in gig. Same excuses every time. It was the same with Beckham on the wing and then in the middle of the park then your own media and fans destroyed the mans career. Id rather play for North Korea or Colombia and make a mistake than play for England, you would have a better chance of staying alive...

Problem isnt the team its the fans and the media... your players are afraid to take a chance on the park for fear of it going wrong.

Its exactly like that. Greavsie the best goal grabber ever would have made a shite Centre half as would Wright Phillips . They are all good players compared to you or i but they are only at their best in certain roles within a team system. Rooney has been world Class all year for Manu but aint scored in 6 for England. Mind you playing up front with a lump of Lard when hes used to Nani, Scholes & Giggs putting then on a plate must drain your confidence . Putting Lampard & Ali G in mid field together is a joke may as well play me & my Missus & shes worse than i am at least the opposition would have died laughing.


Quick Reply: Rooney........ Is he for real
