Rample Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 He was trending on Twitter, was hoping something more relevant to us. Turns out he feels qualified to pick the England team. Personally I think he's way off the mark with Foden comments - what does he know about effective wingers. DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammy03 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I think he's right. Foden is isolated on the wing. England aren't man city. We play differently. Currently we're playing ineffectively and need to be more direct at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his column for The Times, Rooney said: 'City play in the final third. They keep possession there. And Foden is not a dribbler but a player who plays nice little passes and moves into good positions. At City, the movement of players around him enables it. 'City will play quick five-yard passes before a little movement — not a big one — will free Foden up and he has licence to go into the spaces and play as a No 9, at times, or No 10 at others. Whereas with England he is a bit isolated out wide and when he receives the ball, the possession is slow and there is little happening around him. 'That means he then has to dribble — and if you are playing in such a way that, from your wide players, dribbling is what is required then why not play Grealish and Jadon Sancho, two of the best at doing it. ' Seem pretty fair observations to me. Ted McMinn Football Genius, Rammy03, MickD and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It’s all about keeping the “Rooney Brand” in the headlines. It does not matter if he is right or wrong . To keep the £200k a week image rights rolling in he has to put something out there. LeedsCityRam, Jimbo Ram and Ramarena 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another ridiculously cynical post.... he has a newspaper column, what's he going write about.... Carrots? RuPauls Drag race? Hes a pundit, just like Shearer, Jenas, Linekar, Richards et al..... I feel that England's record goalscorer might about forward play.... Commenting on it is much different to doing it in a match... But don't let that stand in the way of having a dig for no reason eh? jimtastic56, MickD, sage and 3 others 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he doesn’t need the money the Times paid him for this (if he got anything at all). After a season that left most observers doubting his talents as a manager, there’s a fair chance he wrote this to boost his credentials as a tactician.
