You know the shittiest thing about Moyes giving in to Rooney?
He'll never put him on the right, even though Mata is way fucking better at the center than the fat fuck is.
Hell, I'd even say Rooney would do well on the left.

He's always going to have his detractors because of the style of play and too many times this season we looked utterly clueless when things weren't going exactly the way we wanted, but as the lads showed today they can fight back from behind and now seem to have a lot of belief and confidence that just wasn't there a few months ago. So, yeah, big credit to Sam for turning things around and keeping us ahead of the relegation struggle.

God, Mata's so beautiful
If you cut of Rooney by his knees and let him grow a beard he would look like Mata.

Isn't he better on the right? Hopefully Mata left and Adnan right.
I hope to fuck there's loads of movement or it's going to be the same shit.
Wenger should take RVP and Shinji.
I think he's better on the right.
This is how I feel he plays on the right compared to the left.
Yellow represent passes.
Rooney was great on the left from 2007-09, Ronaldo through the middle and Tevez on the right. They roamed like fuckers, but it was still absolutely beautiful.

RVP at Arsenal this year - would have been the missing piece. They may yet still win the league. But a better strike force and no question they could walked away with it. Especially given City's early away form.

Fucks sake.
Nani still injured. We need him back to save Man Utd.

February is when you get knocked out of the CL usually, and you normally don't make it much further in the cups, and by this point you're already out of the title race. Hence, the February collapse.

He's rubbish anyway
What are their numbers for March and April?

Plus, Rooney likes to get stuck in. Mata isn't really known for his defensive contribution so it's better for him to be behind the striker.

Top quality for Man Utd at this point. He can whip in a good ball.
Never left Everton.

Very inconsistent but he's definitely our best pure winger.

Something that isn't mentioned enough is his spread of goals, and the importance of a lot of them. His goals won us 6 points in the first 3 games of the season alone.

Januzaj plays more like a traditional winger on the left. I don't like that. The right utilizes his left foot much better. That is why you see him play through balls more often on the left.
You don't see this on the left do you?
Well, yes, but that stat was referring to Premier League games and how there hasn't been a slump in February in recent seasons.
Like the much talked about "November collapse" that never came to pass.

Yeah, but the February collapse refers to you losing all your chances of silverware. You're usually out of the title race by now, and you normally get knocked out of the cups by now. It's never just been about the league.

Sturridge is clearly the better player but goddammit he was shit especially his last period with Chelsea. So many chances ruined by his Ramires like decision making, he just kept shooting no matter how sure goals it would be if he bothered passing.

Shake Appeal deserves to be on there somewhere. Yurt does not, TLOU NEVER FORGIVES.
Shake definitely.
OH BABY

Zabo agrees it's a 7/10 at best.

Bordering on self-parody now.
You're a fucking ape for having him in there in the first place.
Chelsea is where strikers go to die. You can't write off a player (whether Sturridge or Ba) from their time at Chelsea.
I'll give Sturridge this: his knees are not prone to explode at any given moment and that's a good thing.
if it's any consolation, they're both better than Giroud
fuck Giroud

Anyone ever watch the U21's when Cole was about?
He was amazing, thought he would go on to be boss....
Sturridge was played on the wing for Chelsea so they never really saw him in his best position, and there were like 5 managers he played under and had to impress to get back in the team. Became selfish as a result, still, most strikers are selfish for obvious reasons.
That isn't going to be the case this season

Ba can't get close to the Chelsea team, and he has Eto'o and Torres ahead of him, who've scored what, 15 goals between them this season?
Ba's only use is as someone to get on the end of balls lofted over the top of the centrebacks. I wouldn't write him off completely as like you said, strikers struggle at Chelsea, but his complete lack of involvement says something surely?
Should go back to Newcastle.
