I've always said Rooney will end up being better than Ronaldo. The reason he hasn't fulfilled his potential and Ronaldo has is because Ronaldo is always played in a position that suits him while Rooney is fluffed about to accommodate the rest.

No-one is saying Gerrard is bad at all, he's ben playing well, and he's one of the best players in the world. Sometimes though you have to pick the 11 best players for a system not the 11 best individuals.

btw everyone keeps saying Gerrard won player of the month but I'm fairly sure he didn't. Young-September, Deco-August. Right?

Oh and Rioooooooo

They gave us a goal so Ashley returned the favour, nothing wrong there.

Heskey ftw.

Good to see Rooney and Rio get the goals to spare England's blushes. For a start they're doing ok for next week and secondly it doesn't give the ingurland fans chance to boo United players. Talking about them, absolutely pathetic tonight, booing Cole after 1 mistake, I don't like the guy, but thats small time and so is booing your side off at half time.

Soz...he got fans player of the month though.

Good old Wayne, hope he keeps it up for England and United. When he played in the centre he was so much better, maybe we should try gerrard and Lampard in the centre against Belarus. I don't care as long as it's 4-4-2 and Rooneys in the centre.

We're definitely better for having him but you can see why Heskey never scores. He's still not lost a qualifier though. Out of order booing Cole though and then cheering him when we're back on top.

 

[PhilD123]

It's out of order booing one of your own whatever.

 

[Sureshot]

Completely agree, it was one very bad piece of defending, but you should be backing your players, like Rio did in the interview. Good 2nd half performance. Heskey and Rooney did well today.

 

[Magz]

Always good to see Rooners doing well.

 

[evertonfan]

Notice how all 5 goals came after we reverted back to 442 though.

 

[PhilD123]

Are you justifying substituting Garry?

 

[Magz]

Well it is supposed to be the perfect formation, although I remember hearing the formation of the future is 4-6-0, apparently having an adaptable midfield would be more effective than quality strikers. Not sure about that tbh.

 

[evertonfan]

Aye. Our Garry was crap today Phillip. He must have been on the weed before the game or something.

Rooney is a completely different player when he's actually played in the right position which is behind a target man. I'm not Heskey's biggest fan either, but he was class tonight. That can not be said for SWP however; I don't think he passed the ball once or beat any defenders.
