So when we win if Rooney scores a hatrick he will get slaughtered.
Of course he won't, but if he doesn't score then he'll be the scapegoat!
What would you do with Rooney?
- Thread starter ColchesterFC
- Start date

We'll cross that bridge if and when it happens. I think he might get away with it!

Seemed pretty obvious to me that it was Gerrard who should be dropped,not Rooney.
Rooney scores a goal & Gerrard........
He's had a mare end to the season & WC.

Did he have the final touch
Even though Gerrard didnt protect very well for those goals - the CB's were poor behind him - really poor positioning escpecillay from Jagelkia

Gerrard has been the worst player over the first 2 games and that includes Johnson. Not only has he played terrible but he has shown a complete lack of leadership. I didn't see him trying to get the players up when we went behind. If anything he looked overawed by the occasion.
I agree that Gerrard didn't look the leader he is for Liverpool and really didn't get hold of the side in those wobbly ten minutes after half time. Can you imagine a Tony Adams, Platt, Robson etc not rallying the troops especially when we scored. I think the youngsters need a leader they can look at and draw guidance from and I don't see it from Gerrard

Right now it should be through the middle playing in the hole behind Sturridge. This right now is the only position he should be playing for England in my opinion. If he is not in that role he shouldn't be in the team.
In a few years however I think he will fall back into the middle of the park and control the game from there as he can make a tackle and his range of passing is excellent. He could do a real job in there.
He gets far too much stick and far too much pressure put on him from the media which I really just don't understand. He is not England's 'star player' in my opinion as to be honest you don't have any 'star players' you have a team of very good players with a very bright future in front of them.

Stevie G is rubbish now , pass his best awhile back and they make him capt so he has to play , him, lampard, Phil J , Baines, Rooney , bunch of losers from the golden generation , get rid and start fresh , what we got to lose , I watch the Iran , Nigeria and Ghana play , they gave it all , no real big names there

Seems like the obvious choice to me.
Good job (although I don't think he's 'captain material') otherwise he'd go into an even bigger strop as he's not getting it at OT, Van Gaal will give that to his fellow countryman, RVP

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Rooney says to woy, 'I don't know what's best for me, left right or the centre", woy says "shrek shut up, get up those stairs and get on the plane"

Thought I'd resurrect an old thread, rather than start a new one...
It was only months ago that quite a few thought Rooney was past it - me included. Likely to be dropped by England, wasn't really fitting in at Man U, leaving him potentially in the wilderness.
Turns out its another one of his master plans.
He's now Man U captain and England captain.
Fair play, captain of two sinking ships

Do England really count as a sinking ship?
Sunk ship, maybe!
Well the proof will be in the pudding but with only 25-30,000 expected next week fans are definitely voting with their feet post world cup fiasco
