Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

Fergie thought he could play Rooney in that role since RVP was the main man and Rooney didn't wanna play there, part of the reason he wanted to leave the second time..
I remember Jose was asked about Rooney in midfield and he was like; "He's either a 9 or a 10 not a 8 or 6 "

Before Jose saw that Rooney was too

Still remember during the EFL Cup final, Rooney was meant to come on but Ibra scored the winner and sent on Fellaini instead, Rooney said he was embarrassed

I'm sure That Mourinho-Fellaini love affair was traumatizing for Utd fans. Bringing that breh on and spamming long balls...Mourinho is washed

Bad goalkeeping and leeds are wayyyyy to open

I hope you man aren't really fooled by Calvert-Lewin. He's a decent aerial threat and today he got the benefit of playing against a ten man relegation contender team, but overall dude is a striker on a good bit of form. As the season progresses Everton will be exposed for not having a good centre forward option. Also I suspect James lack of cover on the right flank coupled with errors from Pickford will hamper them severly. James actually reminds me of when Di Maria first came to the league and started on fire before falling off. I think he'll end up getting Evertonized, fade away and Everton will only be marginally better than last season. But we'll see

Championship level defense, where art thou?

Remember United fans fawning over CM Rooney after that Van Persie assist
Thought that nikka was going to become Xavi overnight

I think it's Fergie fault who originally put it out there that Gooney could play deeper as he grew older and the silly kunt believed it. Thing is Gooney has never been a midfielder like EVER, sure he likes to drop deeper because he's a SS not a CAM. Besides wing back the one position you don't want to play if you've lost your legs and are new to the position is CM.

Fulham have a trash defence.

But Leeds ain't any better

Crap! I left Mitrovic on the bench. Hopefully one of my starters doesn't play and he gets subbed in.

eating off James and Mitrovic so far

Leeds better fix up, cause if they play like that against Man Citeh, they're food.

Mitra is one of my favorite players. That dude just works so hard. I love watching him.

James, Fosu & Mctominay???

DCL is just following in the fine tradition of Kevin Davies and Andy Carroll. A Handful to play against with pace to get in behind. His finishing is poor, but he has work rate and that is what you need in this era.

Maybe Ole started James on the right to tell the board to get a proper RW....

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Zaha is going to have fun with that United defense. Just watch. 2 goals minimum.
