That makes it a bit harder to chip in with goals. The more this fella speaks the more I want to punch him in the face over and over. I dread press conference time because I just know he's going to talk a load of shite. Expecting a 30 something to get from defending his own 18 yard box, into the opposition 18 yard box and then back to defend our 18 yard box just isn'tt going to happen. I sometimes feel like it has got to the stage where he is going fishing with these comments to reel us in! Romey 1878 and Wiggytop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddock Posted April 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Rooney has been decent this season, he’s scored some important goals, kept a cool head at Anfield with the pen and has given 110% in every game he has played . His passing at times has been atrocious and games have passed him by but all in all I’m glad he was here this season.

We don’t see or hear about it, but I’m sure he’s taking young guys under his wing and being a leader in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the cynicism re Crooked Sam. I know it irritates some, but he does nothing but reinforce my opinion from Day One. Steve, I disagree. I think Fat Sam is a lot worse than you make out.

Sir McGiven Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Whenever he speaks and comments on players, how happy he is with the score after a draw or win with a boring football it makes me think that how Everton did even climb to this position with this mentality. It's a miracle. It is a prophet-like miracle, he may declare his prophecy soon... This ignorance, this hollow ego... It is unbelievable. Regarding Rooney, I don't think he can handle MC position anymore or maybe he can but depends on the opposition match-up from game-to-game but he may still be useful as an AMC or by coming up from the bench. Looks like, he only wants to play as a central midfielder, neither ok with coming up from the bench or playing in another position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 honestly @Sir McGiven it has nothing to do with the club, it has everything to do with the owner. bill would have never appointed him. it was all moshiri and his cronies (walsh). hopefully he realizes how much this has damaged the club and fanbase and will never make such a boneheaded decision again.

nyblue23 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Rooney's gotta go. Though I was initially against him coming back, it was a decent homecoming, but like all athletic homecomings when the player is in the twilight of their career, it needs to be short-lived. We can't keep shoehorning him into lineups. He doesn't have a position where he excels anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 It’s sad to watch. He gets annoyed with himself because he knows he ain’t at the races anymore.

Matt Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Keep him around the team.
