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. 

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.

And it turns out he set fire to the Reichstag in 1933.

Absolutely spot on I reckon. I wonder who wrote it for him? ?

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?

Who isn't qualified to pick their preferred team?

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.
