Jimbo Ram Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just had a little look at the statistics, the facts on the pitch since Rooney became Manager. Without dwelling on it they do not make great reading. His win % is 27.8, we have lost exactly half the games he has been manager and he averages 1.05 points per game. This is worse than Cocu's record of 32.31 win % and 1.25 points per game. So let's put to bed once and for all comments that Rooney has done better than Cocu. But the question I am asking is has anything actually improved since he took over? Has he developed his own style of play? Are we playing more attractive football? Are we more solid at the back? Are we more of a threat going forward? Has he worked well and helped to develop the youngsters? Did he make some decent signings? So despite the actual stats showing things have got worse on the pitch under Wazza, have there been any positive developments? Thoughts????

S8TY Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 IMO No ....Cocu did not have the Beilik factor whereas Rooney did and we may well have had a better start to the season if Beilik had played and Rooney was as sharp and fitter as he was the previous season The youngsters have not improved for me under Rooney and we seem bereft of a playing style with results papered over with Beilik in the side, he literally made such a difference. This is why I don't get why we didn't get a CDM in on loan for the remainder of the season Bangime hardly played so surely was imperative to get a holding player in when we had the chance to try and fill the gap RedSox, LeedsCityRam, Fla Ram and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 No. It's actually surprised me. I would not have expected England's leading goalscorer to be so defensive, and to be unable to coax goals from a team. Tactics switch every game - geared towards matching the opposition (not taking them into account, just copying what they do), team selections and, in particular, substitutions can be described as 'bizarre' at times. The youngsters really seem to have regressed. Part of that is natural, part of that is the position the team was in. But I still think they were poorly managed. The squad is poor, the takeovers etc make the circumstances difficult, but the squad is not as bad - even without Bielik - to think that it could not manage more than one win in 16 games, fighting against relegation. That's unacceptable. LeedsCityRam and Tyler Durden 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 No, but it is not just him. However I think an experienced manager would have got more out of the meagre squad. Taribo and LeedsCityRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the purpose of the post. That argument has been won. I can't remember a specific discussion on what Wazza has achieved, his successes and what progress has been made since he took over. If it has then merge this in to that thread. Perhaps you could come up with something more interesting to discuss then rather than diss my posts.....

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I think with Rooney you have to take in to consideration a couple of factors, firstly that it's his first managerial job and secondly that DCFC is currently such a clown car of a club that anyone would struggle with the job as it stands. To be honest, I'm amazed he's stuck around because I wouldn't blame him in the slightest if he decided to get himself a lifeboat off the sinking ship we all support. If he walked now his reputation would remain in tact because everyone would rightly point to the fact everything is a complete mess.

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 There were a couple of examples of progression but for whatever reason were not sustained. We became more difficult to score against for a short period. We actually looked dangerous and worked a couple of decent set pieces for about a fortnight.

Sparkle Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Our defenders were average our midfield was one dimensional and we had no forwards none of that would be a choice of any manager and it wouldn’t matter who it was - we were lucky not to be relagated but next season could be a different story if recruitment is good.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 We clearly regressed after a very brief new manager bounce and my biggest concern was the way our star academy players Sibley and knight looked absolute pale shadows of themselves under Rooney. Also worrying was the fact that Rooney managed to antagonise and demotivate players like Waggers who is basically a big enthusiastic kid who just wants to play football. I fear Rooney actually has little desire to learn and already believes he knows best when evidently he really does not. So,no I have seen zero progression in any area and regression in most. What makes it worse is that Wayne appears too be stubborn and self confident to see it himself. LeedsCityRam, jimtastic56 and CROSSWORD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If what we see is called progression, I think I prefer regression. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 For me he starts the season with a clean slate and we owe him that for keeping us up. It’s all about having some quality in the squad to be able to play an expansive style, Bielik proves that. Everything depends on stability and a good transfer window and pre season. It’s getting very close to pre season now, things need to happen this week. UTR Foreveram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcidaho Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 He needs to freshen up the coaching team, primarily with an enforcer like Frank had Jody. We've got too many philosophers and not enough leaders. Mick Brolly, Comrade 86, Steve How Hard? and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
