No way Wayne can play the full 90 every game until the end of the season.  Doesn't look to have the legs. Means Morgan, Beni, or Besic going to have to step up.

but he's shown time and again he can still spray passes all over the park and he can still score, should be the first one subbed when he does play.

Definitely hasn’t got the legs to play 90mins too often, but some of the passes he makes are staggering. 

His creativity and long range passing is still sublime, but some of his shorter range passing has been shocking of late. He has given the ball away quite a few times in the last 5 or 6 games.

totally agree, just worried about the options off the bench for him

Quite simply we haven't got anyone else in the squad who can do what he does. Subbing him for any of our other CMs - and let's remember he's played centre forward most of his career - is a defensive move. A ball playing CM of real quality has to be a priority in the summer, get rid of Besic and Schneiderlin

Absolutely. He did it last night with a really shit pass and we almost conceded from it. I couldn't work out what he'd even been wanting to do with it, it was that bad.

Rooney is a bit like an aging quarterback in American football, still got an arm and eye for the long range glory passes, but his hand off's and short range stuff is miss-timed as his timing is off.

I cant help but think that either Klaassen or Siggy in the middle with Vlasic or Bolasie on the wing would be a much faster and more balanced team.
