    Show me then. Come on. This is the usual statement. I fully admit I went a little batshit during the "notatransfer", but outside of that what do you have? Considering it is all I ever do, it should be in everyone of my post.

    And VR, I am clearly not zen enough.

    I assume he's not interested, or only interested if he is SAF's successor, otherwise I think he'd already be here.

    I am starting to agree with the critics of Evra. He cannot jump with Luiz, but better positioning would have prevented Luiz's run to meet the cross from being so powerful.

    Horrible performance for me, few points I have a problem with.
    Ashley Young is more uncomfortable in a 442 than Nani, doesnt know what to most of the time and that is incredible, how many games Evra is going to cost us, people talking about Rafael poor defensively he is our best one on one defender. I didnt think Rooney was good and I dont think the formation to play him in his best position works for others. SAF may not admit it but Giggs is 38, our most lamented player saved us despite a few shaky moments.

    In that case, I'm guessing you are younger than 30.

    Thank you, Rohypnol.

    My problem with Evra is with the first goal, how many players will run past him by doing a simple trick.

    There's a lot I want to say about this post, but I'll just say one thing.

    What do you expect supporters to do when a player you want to count on makes mistakes? This is football, and football fans will be football fans.

    Its as if you are suggesting we should not talk about a misplaced pass.

    lol I was thinking the same thing. FWIW, that was Ramires.

    Yep. Though considering my family, I am looking at at least 45 before I am able to let the stupid stuff go.

    I can't guess what supporters would do. I can only guess what people would do in this forum.

    My point is not that people in this forum can't complain about Rooney or any of the lesser players. I was agreeing with SirManc that being mindful of how this forum works can change how you watch a match. I've spoken before of confirmation bias and its sort of along the same lines, how certain things take on greater or lesser meaning depending on what your existing opinion is.

    What an idiot Howard Webb is by the way, bottled the first one as it was also a sending off but gave atleast one very soft pen, and if Cahil is as good as England got then God save England.

    I don't think many here wants to count on him or really even cheer him on. When he does the business, it is celebrated through gritted teeth.

    If you think Rooney was good, I dont, what is the problem with that, sorry scoring two pens is nice but what he did he really do.

    Wayne Rooney is nothing more than a placeholder for Paul Pogba.

    I have no problem at all with anyone thinking Rooney wasn't good. Everyone is entitled to post their opinion. After all, this isn't China, or the Deep South.

    Quite possibly. The point makes sure our destiny is still in our own hands.

    True but in the end they got more match winners and that is a huge advantage. Because apart from Hernandez miss I dont remember alot of chances we created, a few shots Chelsea also had them.


    So nothing to Valencia guys, when he tries to do more than what he does usually he doesnt get anywhere

    Personally, I feel confirmation bias is a valid concern at times around here. Not just Rooney though. It affects a few other issues with our team. In all honesty, I think the following topics are the prevalent when it comes to information bias:

    Playing youth
    Rooney
    442
    DDG
    Transfer Strategy

    I would say Ashley young too, but it's just syed that hates him. :D :p

    You can add SirManc to that list.
