It was probably because of those atrocious new cleats he was wearing (same ones Torres was using)

but seriously, I've seen worse.

two hattricks in a row, 9 goals in 7 games, dominating games as a #10, and the thread only gets bumped when he misses a penalty.

:lol:

anyway it was a monumentally bad penalty. like Beckham's Euro 2004 miss had a baby with John Terry's Champions League Final miss.

That can happen. Remember this time last year with Messi against Panathinaikos!

Still think Robbie Fowler's assertion that Ronney is better than Messi is complete bullshit though and laughable

some english pundits came with that bullshit a couple years ago and then he went into a slump while messi destroyed everything in his path. rooney's having a great year so far but he's got to show some kind of consistency for an entire season before he's mentioned alongside messi.

funny and off topic, saw some drunk ass man u fan telling sky sports nani is better than messi yesterday :lol:

So Rooney has just played shit against Benfica and Chelsea,Wow what a coincidence as soon as he plays against two good teams in form he plays shit!

And am not just saying that coz of the penalty but his all round game was poor,kept losing the ball,tripping over the ball when he tries to dribble,missed a sitter with left foot and should have assisted Berb with a better pass.

He's only scored more than 20 league goals in one season,that's his big problem consistency.

He has been a bit too inconsistent, but I dissagree with his goal scoring beeing a big problem. He does a lot of playmaking, almost Ibra-deep at times, and a lot of those wont even register as assists. I dont know how many times per season he finds a perfect cross sideways to open up for an attack.

did alright against City in the Community Shield.

or are they shit now, too?

he played well against us in the Final.

are we shit?

etc.

he was awful against Benfica, though, but that was mostly Fergie's fault for playing him as a #9 then giving him no support.

Wouldn't say that and he is the best player in the UK, or UK born player should i say. However, this talk of being the 'white Pele' and 'Better than Messi' is shite

1) He's the best player in England
2) No-one said he's the white Pele.. Fergie made a valid point about them being similar in size.... etc

A question - by 'best player in England' do you mean 'best guy who could play for the English NT' or 'best guy currently employed as a footballer in England'?

What?! He was awful! His lack of positional discipline made Ferguson furios. His lucky punch offside goal doesn't make it a good performance.

Not saying that he isn't a very good player though (best in England probably, although that doesn't say much since Mata is a god there now).
