IslandExile Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Is this McClaren immediately bringing an ounce of common sense to the proceedings? Or is it Rooney positioning himself by insinuating the previous two games were down to Rosenior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hopefully this will be a bit like the baseball. Rooney can stand on the touchline barking out instructions while Mac stands behind him doing all the hand gestures of what to do REALLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should never have been left to Rooney to decide this himself at all. Distinct lack of leadership at the club at a time when it's needed the most. I'll wager McClaren had a hand in this decision.

Think we need some bite and experience next to two of them. Yep you could well be right and I think Shinnie some times gets to hard a ride for not being a 'footballer' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottingram Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I know this is going to sound a bit “damned if you do...” etc but it is pretty funny that Rosenior got two tough fixtures as what seemed to be his ‘trial’ while Rooney is getting what is on paper probably the easiest game of the season.

BramcoteRam84 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Rooney took himself out of the team also translates to McClaren saying you can’t coach and play. McClaren has definitely been involved in this. I really feel for Rosenior, he gets the flak for the last 2 games when Rooney is equally culpable. Rooney now gets the two easier games to prove himself. It absolutely stinks. If I were him I’d leave this car crash go back to Sky and then pick up his coaching career somewhere else as he develops into a top coach and manager. It’s not going to happen for him here. I hope Rooney wins both matches because we desperately need the points - but then someone else comes in and takes over. But if he wins the next 2 games, he’ll probably get the job to the end of the season. Not sure he is the right answer but we need him to succeed, hopefully with Mac guiding him he can.

nottingram Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Also this whole manager by trial situation in general is completely farcical. How on earth can a player have any respect for a decision when they know it is as short term as “if you win you’ll get the job, if you lose it’s someone else’s go next time” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The trade-off is that Liam Rosenior is going on at fullback, taking the place of a much younger and fitter player, and huff and puff around the pitch inaffectively - just to show Rooney what he looks like to other people.
