you guys know ive been saying it for the longest about rooney, if you dont play him at no 9 dont play him at all

i see the same problems at utd when hes picked over mata and kagawa and they have to suffer out of position because of him even though they are much better creative wise in the hole

sink or swim match vs uruguay who dont look good at all so far, suarez will be very rusty, we should win but i wont invest.

Doing my head in the Welbeck bashing, he was good last night, people are absolutely clueless.
Yeah i thought welbeck had a really good game, he did what he needed to do. I liked the balance he gave our attack...and tbh he always puts in a shift when he plays for England, he should be one of the last people that gets stick

Personally, I'm playing Rooney at 9 or not at all. :manny:

There are better 10s at united. For England though, Sturridge is the in-form 9. So drop him or shift him left of a 433 not 4231.

The England coach? ...can someone explain me what his tactics were? Rooney left winger...3 exactly the same players up front with no overview at all. This tactic was a counter attack tactic...this is suicide when you want to create chances through possession of the ball. Those 3 (sterling, sturridge, wellbeck) want to run in the open space, not playing tiki taka...it was ridiculous playing like this against the italians.

They should have put Rooney up front. He could hold the ball, and continue the play...1 player with pace next to him...and 4 midfielders blocking the italian possession

Like what Phil is doing.

We undoing a few messes we had. Much as i like dude Melo screwed us with that trade.


Daley Blind has Tottenham written all over him. Old Liverpool too.

people...you are highly overrating daley blind...he lacks speed and defending qualities.....

If you want to buy someone from ajax (for a lot less) you should buy lasse schone!

Jones---Cahill---Jagielka---Baines

--------Gerrard----Henderson-------

Barkley------Sterling------Welbeck

--------------Sturridge----------------


Won't be, but it should be.

That team would beat Uruguay.

4 exact the same players up front. You need a number 9 with the ability to hold the ball and set up combinations..Sturridge is not that type of player. I'd put rooney nr 9 always

“Serge brought us energy and balance and he had a fantastic game,” Drogba told Fifa.com. “He’s the best right-back in all of France. I think he’ll do well at the next level too, in the Premier League.”

Bienvenue a Londres Serge!
