Now we aren't a 'two man team' anymore.
Rooney's drought was not on the back of a 50m transfer. Had he moved to Madrid and had a doubt like that I am sure he would have got as much stick as Fernando.
its not just his goal drought its the fact that it doesn't seem like he is trying last match van der sar covered more ground than him.
Rooney is a all-round brilliant striker, he's not a fantastic finisher like Van Nisterooy, a great target man like Zigic or a lightening player like Walcott, but he is still brilliant. Torres, on the other hand, is not good at anything really except scoring, and he's not doing that - that's why we're worried. If it was someone like Kuyt, who is more a support striker than poacher, then we wouldn't be worried.
Precisement. I'd like to see Rooney and Torres' assists over the period looked at.
Yeah, and? That's no excuse. Torres isn't probably isn't trying, not every footballer tries. Torres didn't really try for Spain in the World Cup either. But hey, why do I care, we got £50m for himOf corse he is trying, no footballer goes out not to try. And the VDS stat is flawed, Torres only played 45minutes and most of the time the ball went over his head because of the supply.

Well done Sherlock, but players tire in the second half and Torres isn't the fittest of all players. And the players you named aren't exactly atheltic, Hernandez sits on the shoulder of the defender, Anelka is isolated on the wing and Evra is a full back and he still covered more space.LOL. Torres covered 5.11km in the first half, had he played the full match he would have covered about 10.22km. That would have been more than (not including players who didn't play 90 minutes) :
Hernandez
Anelka
VDS
Cech
Ivanovic
Ferdinand
Vidic
Terry
And would have been just less than Evra
Also he covered more ground than Drogba, but nobody mentions that do they?
So I think you should think before making comments like that.

Rooney is second best assistant in league sharing the spot with arshavin,baines....

Of course some won't try. Are you suggesting Balotelli is trying as hard as he can?

Yeah, Vidic is so atheltic and has the work rate of Gerrard [sarcastic]. Anyway, I agree Torres is a good player and maybe he is trying but he isn't on form. However, I don't think he is working hard enough.How are they not athletic? They are professional footballers. Evra is an attacking full back and should cover more ground than Torres. Torres is a striker and much like a CB doesn't move from his position too much, he's not a b2b CM y'know? And just because they tire it doesn't mean that they can't continue to cover the same distance until the end.
