    This isn't Rooney's fault - it's a collective from the team and manager.

    Absolutely. He'll get blamed anyway though.

    Rooney must have a ridiculous clause that guarantees him 90% of games

    It's the only conclusion I can come up with

    Or he is good friends with the English media so if he is dropped will have the media ridicule the manager

    Another season of praying for, and probably failing, to get top 4 beckons.

    Rooney and Zlatan had extremely poor games. Smalling has poor too, imo, this game and the last. Fellaini was ok. Shaw was ok. But overall, theres a lack of passion from a lot of players.

    EDIT: Posted that too quick as Fel gives away a last second penalty....

    I think that's a bit pessimistic:)

    When Rooney does eventually get phased out of the team it will be interesting to see who some of the fans aim their anger or disappointment at.

    Agree Rooney has been poor and surprised that he is still on the pitch but my word what a poor performance it has been by the whole team. Brutal stuff.

    Absolutely boggling the turn that has happened since city. What an awful week it has been. Need to sort it out quick.

    Rooney sole input all game has been to argue with the ref.

    Yep. Keep defending Rooney. Yep. He is brilliant.

    Superb close passing. Superb awareness of who is around him.

    Killer balls.

    In 5 years, if it's revealed that Rooney had a contract cause that meant he plays when he is fit, it would surprise me not a bit.

    Schweinstiger must be laughing.

    That's all I can do.

    Poor team performance? Well it's not as if he is the captain or anything. Right?

    "Rooney only plays as a striker"

    This loss lays at the feet of the manager.

    Jose has a lot to answer for.

    He doesnt know his best team and he's still sticking with Rooney

    Pogba needs to be looked at after this game. Nobody played well granted but during the city game he seemed exhausted after 60 mins and to watch him let his man go for the second goal was crazy. It meant Fellaini had to leave his man to try follow him. Hopefully he gets rested midweek as he is not sharp at all

    Tbh, it starts with the captain. He's meant to be leading the team on the pitch. If all the others are seeing is a walking arguing ****show, that's not much leadership for them to go on. How can they take him seriously if he goes at them about poor performances or not giving it their all.

    As long as he's playing, we're going nowhere but down the table each season imo.

    Rooney should not be in midfield or at striker. He is completely done

    Who has been saying he played brilliantly today? I haven't seen anyone claim that at all.

    I think we are supposed to ignore the blatant, obvious problem with the side and focus on the other problems instead. I think thats how it works.

    Mourinho needs to grow a pair of balls and quickly. Very quickly. We are handicapping the team by playing him. Herrera sitting on the bench for 90 minutes. A player with grit and skill.
