Lame response from you ... anyone who is a long time fan will know that however we might despair or be out of sympathy once a match starts we can do no other than support the club. Fans like you simply can't take any criticism of the club and have to rationalise by 'deciding' some fans want the club to fail.

But blind of you not to take note of the much more attacking formation & intent,  the other players he was on with. He can't show his skill if there are no other players getting forward for him to exchange passes to. If he had been on in the first half he would have failed like everyone else.

The credit goes to Sibley alone. It happened despite of Rooney, not because of him. 

Excellent post. Sibley has had a poor deal , though admittedly it might be his discipline that has cost him. He has great skill and thinking back to the way he linked up play with Chris Martin last season, surely he has something to offer us now. 
Rooney is making far too many changes in team selection match to match and as you point out the " only 2 consecutive starts " is a very telling stat.

they will wait until the points they dock us can't be made up ..?

It certainly puts some of our own post-signing catastrophes into perspective.
