players on form, you mean rooney with 34 goals this season, 25 goals in 61 games for england, our top scorer ( and if i remember right THE top scorer) throughout world cup qualifying. yeah rooney has really just been picked on repuation....
players on form, you mean rooney with 34 goals this season, 25 goals in 61 games for england, our top scorer ( and if i remember right THE top scorer) throughout world cup qualifying. yeah rooney has really just been picked on repuation....rooney was invincible what game was u watching he is the most over-rated player in the history of the national team capello needs to pick players on form (crouch) not reputation (rooney) his record is shocking
i know crouches record. but rooney has proven he is a our best striker. thats not opinion, its fact.compare rooneys goal scoring record for england to crouches 25 goals in 61 games is terrible
i hope the heskey bashers have seen why some of back him. yes we all know he could do better in front goal, but its the other stuff he brings to the team thats so important. and we saw it last night. rooney was playing ahead of last night, instead of dropping deep like he normally does, which meant the supply to him had to very good or he'd be starved of the ball. the supply was poor he got starved.I'm just glad Heskey has come out a bit, he was brilliant last night.. apart from his finishing, but that is what we expect from Heskey.
Lennon was only dangerous when he cut inside, his crosses were ****.
Glen Johnson however, wow, he also played brilliant!
We just got unlucky.. we'll still win our group
KEEP THE FAITH!
its about more than just goals mate. i rate crouch, class player, but he is not better than rooney, and wouldnt start ahead of himfact based on what he hasnt scored in over half the games he has played
compare rooneys goal scoring record for england to crouches 25 goals in 61 games is terrible
i agree the to switch to 4-2-3-1 with barry back. rooney thrives on that lone role. i'd like to see cole start at aml as well linking with rooney and gerrardJoe Hart FTW
Maybe switch to 4-5-1 with Gareth Barry as holding midfielder, that is what we lacked last night. Rooney has played upfront on his own nearly all season for United and if we get a dominant midfield, we should be able to ease into the knockouts now, the big question is whether Capello puts Barry in midfield now. Didn't even think the performance was bad considering it was first game, we could of done with Rio though, JT had a great game.

you kidding he just had his best season in that role, and you need to run the channels as a lone striker, to create space and pull the defender for the attaking mid coming from deep i.e gerrard. of course he wont drop green, that would destroy him.Not for me, he drifts.
Also, he WON'T swap the GK, bet you that
no one said he is internationally as good villa or torres, but he is still up there. you came out with some drivel about him only being picked on reputation, which quite frankly is bollocks.yeah for a player of his talent everybody raves about him for man united which is fair enough but he is hardly a world beater for england not on the same level as a torres or a villa
