r4derby Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Rooney playing up front will affect the way we attack. Cocu is trying to implement a quick, interchanging front 3 which we’ve seen glimpses of last 2 games. All 3 have appeared up top or out wide at points. Rooney doesn’t allow this, as he doesn’t have the legs to play on the wing. His game isn’t built on pressing either, which is what you would ideally have your front man doing. I can only see Rooney fitting in to this team as a defensive midfielder, which would mean either losing the 3rd CB or splitting up Knight and Shinnie. Don’t mind playing a back 4 but the last few times we played it with Rooney in CM we have been overrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, with all these petro-billions we won't need 32reds paltry cash.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Well, its 10am in South Hampshire, persistently raining and my entire day has been boxed off with taking delivery of £14,000 worth of kitchen units and sourcing some new parts for MoodHoover jnrs shower. So I am unlikely to be following the rams at all today.....Will @angieram be wearing full purdah in preparation for the coming of the sheikh? ?

roboto Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Is it too much to ask for one match day build up not to have some crazy DCFC story in the papers that is unrelated to the upcoming fixture? Its almost as if the actual football is a distraction to the rest of the organisation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t mind playing a back 4 but the last few times we played it with Rooney in CM we have been overrun Problem with him in that quarter back position is that the opposition know all they have to do is close him down hard in that left side in front of the CBs he drifts into. Its pretty easy to press him and render him ineffective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I never thought we'd get to a situation where we would be bemoaning the option of bringing Wayne Rooney into the team. Anyhow I'm now looking forward to arguing that Messi and Ronaldo in the same team doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is in that position the opposition midfield has not tracked him and if you have forward runners a centre back does not want to come out to close the space. The forward movement in the last two games would be just what he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much of a threat the opposition see him as being. instruct your striker to hunt him down in that pocket on the left that he always goes to when you don’t have the ball and you’ll restrict him as he doesn’t have the mobility escape a press, his footballing intelligence will get him away from it a few times but would it be enough to warrant his inclusion? For me it’s a no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
