CARLITOS TEVEZ!

We needed that point!

Tottenham were real good at pressuring us on the ball unfortunately. Rooney backtracked really well to help out the defenders.

We'll take the point, it's better than nothing.. looks like Chelsea is going to tie too so we're okay.. but Arsenal have taken over once again but we'll get it back.

You needed 3.

Rooney was diving all over the place. United played like complete shit. Lucky.

Ofcourse we needed 3, but we're not out of it.

1 is better than nothing.

Rooney did good to help the defence, but yes, he did dive.

We didn't play shit, we played okay, it was hard to get past the Spurs defenders, they pressured us.. why do you think Ronaldo was quiet.

Juande Ramos:

Cup final

Beat Manchester United

He's the special one.

I don't really see Rooney as a big goal threat. Benjani scored double the amount Rooney has scored so far.  Actually all three of them have scored more than Rooney.

Rooney is not on the same level as Anelka, Drogs, Torres or Bayor (yet).

Rooney comes back for the ball more and helps the players around him to score. Note that he had 11 assists last season, beating Gerrard and Lampard in that category. You are not giving him enough credit. I don't really like him but you can't say he's not a top striker. Saying he's not on the level of Drogba, Torres or Adebayor is wrong. He is and is probably ahead of them from some people's eyes. Rooney's skill is on par with some of the best. You are not taking into account his most valuable asset however. That being his dedication and work effort. It's unmatched by any player in my opinion. Despite him not being clinical in front of goal at times, it's OK considering the amount of chances he creates for himself.

In the end, I would have a hard time picking any forward over Rooney.

Interesting results today by the way.

I would have an easy time picking Gabriel Agbonlahor  ahead of Rooney.
