Alarming Rate of Mischances threaten to derail MUFC chances
-
Looking back, it seems MUFC are creating tons of chances to win the match twiceover but we are not putting the goals in the net..
of course, other than Ronaldo.
What happen to the bruteness of Rooney? His ability to hit the ball was second only to scholes, but Scholes seems to have found his boots but not Rooney..
the niggling suspicion in MUFC is that he has not peaked yet. To me, he seems more happy to provide than to go in and unleash a thunderbolt..
Reading what GN, captain has said (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/manchesterunited/s/232/232040_neville_still_confident.html), it does make sense that they are swings in a long season.
Discussion Pts.
1) What happen to the bruteness of Rooney?
2) Will Larsson be the missing piece? His ability, experience to rub onto Rooney? -

Park Ji Sung can go home and make Kimchi. Against Newcastle with a relatively young backline, United would sure run riot but wad happened? Missed chances. Park has so many glorious opportunity to score but he either blast the ball high over the bar, mis-passed the ball or mis-controlled the ball. He looks totally lost like a headless-cockroach in that match.
Rooney is becoming more and more like Ronaldo(The Brazil one la.
). He has grown sideways and he is alarmingly out of form. He has time to pull the trigger but for some reason, he chose not to.
I think in the next match, Fergie should try partnering Larsson with Rooney. Larsson's experience would definitely be of United's advantage. Watch out for his dummy runs and link up with Rooney.
Cheers.

The only thing Rooney is not doing right now is scoring goals. Which is important of course but he has contributed in many other ways. His creating chances for others in the team and his willingness to get back to defend where some strikers won't bother is still a plus to the team.
His scoring form will be back, and Larsson addition at this time is just right with Saha injured. -

He got into those positions that nearly played off.
considering he is playing his 3 or 4 games after his ankle injury.
that's a plus to us, not a minus.
yes, we would have loved for him to score those, so let's support him. -
I used to laugh at liverpool who have 20 chances but still can't win the game.
now it seems to affect MUFC as well.
when MUFC play, opposing teams seems to possess a certain spirit to want to slay the big name, and immediately, you can see a rise in their standards.
Yes, newcastle seems to want the ball more, and were snapping at MUFC.
All credit to them for getting the point they deserved.
The chances, Rooney are missing, OMG, he could have hat-tricks for few games already.
Hopefully, 2007 is a year for him to focus on his scoring. Cause with Larsson, and Ole (on good form), and if Saha is fit, Rooney may be rested.
For me, from his injury, to the WC, and now, he is simply putting his body to too much abuse.. He should get a rest now if possible and then come back blasting.
Who can forget the night when he first came on for United, in that fateful UCL game, with his clean-shaven head, and his shooting... -
and we are conceeding goals at an alarming rate now..

i watched Man U play Newcastle and wonder why did Fergie kept Solksjaer & not name him as sub. He will have put away some of the chances going his way.
Park, poor lad, though he looked like a pale shadow but I would give him a few more games before condemning. I think Rooney has taken a different role somewhat, he is not at eagerly pushing to be the receving guy and more often than not, he plays a bit of midfielder - as if trying to complement Ronaldo. -
as for the goals, sometimes, have to give credit to opposing players.
the one by Milner, stunner..
I am beginning to question EdwinVS's ability.
for Milner's goal, he can't even reach the top half of the goal, and for 2nd goal, he seems to be so late. Given his reach, he should be able to save that. -
I agree, I think the first goal was within his ability to save. He underestimated the flight & tenacity of the ball. Not for the second, because of the deflection from Scholes, if not, he would have it covered.
But he did make a very good save from Siberski's header, thats a point blank, reflex save. -
U know wat i tink.. Rooney is like Owen. Start out young and daring.. nothing to lose.. not corrupted by wealth and fame yet. Now as time goes by has lost his courage at running against defenders. See defenders scared liao quickly mis-pass. Gone were the days he would brashly unleash shots like the one he scored against Arsenal when he was still in Everton. Talent cant be lost, he probably lost his form, but more importantly he lost his guts and confidence.

from what I read, he is going to be rested for 10days.Originally posted by Gackt247:U know wat i tink.. Rooney is like Owen.

please, from his injury, till WC, and now, I believe it is due to lack of proper rest. He should not be in the WC in the first place, and imagine in his shoes, I believe most would have cracked.
I firmly believe he will be back with a shout, just rem to do it most needed..
