JimmytheJimster Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Looks so much better centrally, put pace on the wings and a quick forward passer in midfield, and he'll be great. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's the place for him, in the middle where he can influence things and run ahead of the striker. Rooney's general play has been crap for the last month or so, passes going astray, poor tackles and positioning. Yes he has scored goals, but he has also cost us goals at both ends. Time to drop him for a while, and with us looking so much better playing two attacking wingers and Siggy in the middle, maybe Rooney will be a fringe player.

Newty82 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 He has to be central, doesn't he? This could turn out to be one of the most frustrating things this season, and there is plenty to choose from, if he doesn't get to play centrally for a good run of games. That's where he belongs. We have wingers to play either side, we have the central midfield blend to play behind. And, hopefully, we have the striker to stay up top. Please can we start playing players where they play at their best!!! Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I thought he was largely anonymous centrally bar the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too early on, then he started to become a lot more involved and saw a lot more aggression and determination from him, just need to see more of that me thinks.

Romey 1878 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 For the love of fucking god, stop playing him on the left. He helps out defensively does he? Does he like fuck. Martina got fucked because he was playing the invisible man. And he certainly offers absolutely fuck all going forward from there. If you can’t find a central role for the fella then don’t play him at all. I don’t give a shit how much he cost because he’s giving us absolutely nothing from out there.

Peter H Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 He is now third in the pl for assists. Only De Bruyne and Eriksen ahead of him now. (but by quite a few) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 16 since the start of the LAST season according to optastats here - http://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-leicester/373341 I read that wrong apparently. Still good tho "Since the start of last season, only Kevin De Bruyne (29) and Christian Eriksen (21) have more assists in the Premier League than Gylfi Sigurdsson (16)."

I'm not sure why you feared it was that bad when he completed the rest of the game and looked fine. If it was a Bolasie-type injury there's no way that'd have been happening.
