Rooney - Discussion

[^_^]

The difference between a normal striker and a good striker is the number of goals he can offer to the table, end of story. It doesn't matter how much work you put into defensive play, if you are not scoring goals, you are not a great striker. Doesn't that make sense? Isn't that the point of the forward position? You name me a forward that just stands there in the 90 minute blah blah. Every forward gets behind the ball in that situation, not just Rooney. Rooney is good, but at his age he should be scoring more goals per season, not less. He went from 16, to 14, and now he has 8 with 11 or so games remaining. He may break into 16 again, but that is double what he's scored in 20+ games. He should be going up in the amount of goals he scores. That is what seperates a good striker, from a great striker :thumbsup:

He's been injured this year and he's been suspended. His assists have gone up. Just look how it levels out, Rooney use to get more goals than Ronaldo (RVN era, at the time Ronaldo got mostly assists), and then they got the same(RVN left, Rooney and Ronaldo started to pair), and now Ronaldo has taken over. Rooney is contributing to Ronaldo's goals.

[^_^]

Ronaldo has taken over because he is miles better than Rooney.

[manutd.]

True, but you can't take anything away from Rooney because he sets him up as does everyone else.

Yesterday, there were countless times where Rooney could have stepped up to the table and scored that goal for his hatrick, but instead of going for his hat trick, he set up Saha, twice.

[^_^]

He sets him up as does everyone else. So then give then equally distribute the credit instead of singling Rooney out as the reason to Ronaldo's goal scoring success.  :booty:

[manutd.]

Bitch.  :lol:

Last year, it was mostly Rooney who set up Ronaldo, and Ronaldo himself had those marvellous runs, but this year Rooney sets up other people as well. Like Saha yesterday, a very unselfish play.

[^_^]

I'll give you yesterday, Rooney played really well. His second goals nice.

If Rooney deserves a discussion thread so dose Danny Dichio.  :boxing:

people may forget aswell that rooney has played wide left this season... and also as a lone striker.... rooney isnt the type of striker who will get 20 goals a season.... most good teams av the 20 goal a season striker.. and then a 12 goal a season striker... like berkamp and henry

but the way utd play they have tevez and rooney who will get around 10-15 goals each..... and then ronaldo with 20+

and he took apart arsenal and newcastle  :thumbsup:

Why is Rooney playing wide left?
