what is it you and Rooney on the left :pac:

boggles its pure and simple madness tbh simple as that

I'd put the house on it, if Owen was brought on instead of Park. United would be more than up.

Park on the left nulifies our attack more often than not, even Fergie saw it against Everton and went with Anderson instead.

There is only so many times any team can squander possession and attacking chances and not be punished.

i can't imagine they would have let him play on if threatening a season ending injury.

When it comes to ligaments, depends on how much they opened.

You get a pretty good idea sooner or later.

Which is what happened.

but where would the goals come from, owen and berba arent exactly bombing them in, and what ever happened to if it aint broke dont fix it mentality?

dont get me wrong Park drives me nuts too but im willing to put up with it once Rooney plays up front

oh martin tyler and his (rob) green and (david) gold joke... should be shot

del88

Great move for the goal by the way, the ball from Valencia was particularly brilliant.

Berbs has 5 in 5 starts.

Owen just isn't been played.

I'd leave Rooney up front, thats the place that he most enjoys playing - and its showing, his recent form has been excellent

berba has only 9 goals this season , we shouldn't have to rely on him when we have a striker who has scored 21 goals

concerning owen, I like Owen and people give him **** because he misses chances while coming on as a sub, that's the important word right there a "sub" its very hard for a striker to come with like 10-20 mins left and expect to do a job.

but getting back to the discussion I think berba and owen would be a better partnership than Berba and Rooney but when you have a WC striker why change his position to accommodate ok strikers

Great goal...some touches!

Boggles

Thats 2 goals made by Berbs in fairness. Valencia with 2 excellent balls, but Berbs touch and vision made both.

Outstanding. Rooney's amazing movement combined with his new found ability to head the ball is going to be a real force for us.

KevR

Good build up to the goal and a good finish.

What a goal.

Another class delivery from Valencia.

Liam O

Valooney is really working well

rebel girl 15

Rooney with the head again! Excellent movement and touches!

Mikeyt086

Antonio Valencia cross, Wayne Rooney goal.

**** sake, i should make that my sig at this stage!!!

Mr Alan

Owen is finished, Ferguson even seems to recognise this now. I'd put money on him leaving in the summer.

eclectichoney

This berba to val to rooney link-up thing might just work y'know.

Rooney does it again.

Valencia with a brilliant cross again. :D

earlier in the season the big complaint was no one on the end of Valencias crosses. Great to see Rooney step up to the mark. Nani on the right my hole. not at the expense of valencia in the team imo.

lovely from Berba.

rebel girl 15

Goal saving intervention by Vidic, great to see him back!

but if he was on the left he wouldnt be in that position, your argument is getting weak Boggles

Mr Alan

**** me half rooneys goals must be with his head this season. a weakness he himself pointed out and has obviously been worked on very hard since.

That's something that most people won't realise.

With Rooney playing a much more advanced position than he has in the past, he's allowing Berbatov to work in a position he is much more used to. Berbatov is now the man playing off the main striker of Rooney. He's started the two goals today, Valencia has whipped it in, and Rooney's finish. A nice little combo

ROCKMAN

Just unreal at the moment ,
WHAT CAN YOU SAY :D:D

ROOONEEEEEEEEEYYYYY

No offence, but the idea of playing Rooney on the left is ridiculous, you are putting United's greatest scoring threat in a place where his threat is nullified. There have been numerous other cases of great central players been put on the wings, where their threat is less than through the centre, Cantona and Henry being examples I can think of off the top of my head

I remember reading an article recently that Rooney much prefers playing through the centre, and you can see it in him, he is really enjoying his football at the moment and it shows in his goal scoring rate recently

The Ballon d'Or will be decided imo by the player that wins the CL.

Cynical from Foubaire, why didn't Berba give it to Park???
