    Mata looked to be struggling for the final 10 minutes of that half

    I really can't understand the abuse Rooney gets on here. He has been poor but he still has over 150 goals for Utd. That must count for something.

    And Setanta spells his name wrong. Graphics folk are really on form today.

    Did Mata play the 90 in Ukraine?
    Might be protecting him for the CL.

    Your past goal scoring shouldn't justify you playing on the pitch considering his current form is beyond awful. He should earn his place like every other player on the field week in week out.

    A lot of it is bias becuase apparently none of them would ever dare to ask for a pay rise.
    But apart from them, he has been playing poorly for about 8/9/12 months

    He came on for Fabregas didn't he?

    Might be a precautionary Sub with the match midweek

    You can't live on past glories, you should be well aware of that.

    Is it just me that Setanta is terrible for today? Looks like a terrible internet stream and sound keeps breaking up.

    The one time I actually want to watch a 3pm game :mad:

    LVG must believe Rooney has value in the dressing room and organising on the pitch as an experienced and respected player. But Rooney has been incredibly poor for most the game so far. Its like playing with 10 men. I don't think LVG's patience will be limitless if Rooney doesn't seriously pick himself up.

    Incredibly poor? Harsh.He's been just ok. Sharper than usual this season, but that's not saying much either.

    For the majority of united fans it counts or a lot but some would have you believe he was never any good for us. Just pity he is doing so bad lately i think he needs a step back and see what happens.

    That's a silly line of thinking for fans if they want to believe it. They earn their place in training, which we don't watch.

    Just becuase let's say lingard has an excellent half, that dosent mean he is a starter next week.

    1 league goal since April.
    1 away league goal since November 2014

    I don't see any abuse of him, there's plenty of deserved criticism alright.

    The fact he is up droppable is probably why there is such venom. If he had been rightly dropped for a few games, it mightn't be as strong.

    The chance he set up for Martial is the only significant thing I can remember him doing in the first half. Other than that he has been constantly making the wrong choices and executing them poorly. I'd give Rooney a lot of time given what he has done for the club and I have no issue at all with him getting the best contract he can, but the team have been carrying him for a while now.
