The main issue is with England - definitely faded away when the important games came apart from when he burst onto the scene. I'm a big fan and think he's had way too much stick but there's a nagging feeling that if only he could have repeated what he did in those first games for England...what could have been :(

Ross Stevenson I think you must’ve heard from England situation

Never knew ppl said that... Then again I never followed English football very closely and only thought of rooney as one of the greatest ever.

@@bagpussmacfarlan9008 every england player is missing when playing at the national team..

To be fair he couldve been even better than what he is. Like as in he couldve been up there as a greatest of all time

Good points but just to add to the hate point some people were more just constantly frustrated with him because his first touch in tight areas was generally awful for such a great player. On the flip side there haven’t been many players who can strike a ball as well as him

That's because the media made him to be better than he actually is. He's been on the decline since 26 when your peak years are supposed to be 25-28 after Cr7 and Tevez left he has been bang average scoring the odd wonder goal. Very good but never world class just in a world class squad until SAF left.

Beerus if he was average how did he break the man Utd goalscoring record and England Goalscoring record and also he took us all the way in the champions league to the semi final vs Bayern. He was world class and still is when his in the mood. The guy used to take on 8-10 players at a time and beat them all. And he proved he can still do it against Crystal palace in the final of the fa cup.

For me Rooney is not in decline he is just not bothered about his football anymore. He thinks about the team more than himself which is what I love but sometimes hate about him. If he took his football serious he could have been the greatest ever player to step on a pitch.

Beerus also if he was average since sir Alex left look at his stats in the David moyes era 19 goals and 13 assists with young,cleverly,Anderson,Fletcher etc. Wayne Rooney carried Man Utd even when Ronaldo was there He was the one doing the dirty work and picking out a pass for Ronaldo to score if he is average you obvs haven't got a footballing brain or don't watch football at all. Rooney is one of the greatest England and Man Utd have ever had.

420Sheff I remember when he played as a DMF at Chelsea.

he had the body of a strong 25 year old at age 16, so top genes as well as good pro, ronaldo is a top pro, skinny winger to one of the physically best cf's in the world. Zlatan and Drogba top pros too

He had the body of a granny every week!

for a long time after his peak he could afford to have poor conditioning and still play at the top level because his technique and football brain are so good

Top pro? He never took care if himself at all. He constantly ate crap and drank silly during the season. He held the club to ransom to be the highest earner, then proceeded to destroy his body in return. Top pro? Never

He was definitely the most reliable player in Liverpool in that time

Ali Sheikh he just ran and ran for 90 minutes. Lots of effort which is commendable but not always a lot of end result

As a united fan... I never underrated him. Once again as a united fan... I always really beleived that we would win... but kuyt was one of the players that gave me doubt, him, suarez and of course owen back in the day

Liverpool have always had great Dutch players... Kuyt was at the top of the list

Nobody at anfield underrates dirk!

Just out of interest which one do you hate more?.

@@ahmedrahim2500 Manchester United by far. I would dislike Everton more if they beat Liverpool often

@@stevenseelig945 i dont like wall pushers

@@markcartwright2263 That was too deep... from a Chelsea fan

@@stevenseelig945 do you dislike man u because they whooped Shalke in the 2011 champions league semi final

What a BEAST Rooney one of our all time greats

Soccer AM 🖕🏽

Soccer AM ass lickers

Is he club legend or football legend? If he is football legend then where he will stand? Pele,Maradona,Messi, Stefano, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and C Ronaldo are football legand.Sorry can't put him in this bracket. He is MU legend and one of the most hype english player and that's all.

hmm rahman, how can he be most hyped english players when hes the record holder for goals for both club and country along with winning alot of silverware during his years. ? im pretty sure that qualifies him as one of englands greatest.

exaclty not from robbie savage and owen hergreaves

Owen hargreaves won a champion league and premier league

Yeah from the top players that’s just one side of the story I bet more truths would come out if the lesser players were asked the same questions

Owen Hargreaves won two champions leagues with 2 different clubs. Won Bundesliga galore. Then the EPL too. And he was a major contributor. He was the best England Player at almost every major tournament post 2002 WC. Save the Rooney mania at Euro 04. Put some respect on that name.

Yea there called pundits and on every week u not think sousey carra Neville Henry Jose when he's no job Roy kean want me to go on there on every wk just cos u probly NVR seen them play but they were the best of the best ye get a few mid carders in there but most pundits had great carreres that's y there pundits not been smart well trying not to b but that's y the Roy keanes of the world are on sky given their opinions even if Keane is a bit intense lol ye but most pundits are the best of the old players look at motd linker shearea and Wright they were all top top players

Truly amazing. I wonder how he does it

Hair transplant

u forgot theo baker

💀💀💀😂

Much like Elon Musk

ughh, you call yourself a Gooner jizzing all over this bloody banging bulldog??

He's an intelligent Gooner. You wouldn't understand...

Probably doesn't have a degree, like I do BUT ANYWAYYYY - do try and book a room with him sometime, would make a gr8 couple =)

netweed09 lol did you really just boast about having a degree??? LMAOOO

StuttGooner Greg henry👑 is still king but honestly rooney was really good

Well said

His longevity though...

well probrably coz he's not exhausted from running around on a pitch for 90 mins

That's because he was reading from a bit of paper.

I though that

Didn't think he could read!

He’s a bit nervous

im a yeovil fan aswell but i think rooney is deez nuts

Bitch ass club

Yes he did, and no, I haven't changed my opinion of him.

Shut up everyone. A Liverpool fan has spoken...

Think his decisions, and the media, sometimes gave the wrong impression.

Listen properly you can here him keep saying it

discharge29 saw him a few times in the flesh in his younger days. Seemed to operate at twice the speed of most other players both mentally and physically. Shame the modern day ‘fans’ seem to think he was some average guy who scored a few pens and tap ins.

that;s because modern day fans are still very young, who don;t even remember players like Brazilian Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, they just rave about the mainstream popular players now like the Pogba's and Ronaldo.

+i love mica, orient loves mica I would like to see you play as good as him at the age of 32

Yes

No question about that

Yep. I want to see how well he does now. I’ll be watching Derby games from now on.

lol

Neymar the golden boy your mothers not the woman she used to be aswell.. she drops bits now

Joking aren't you he's terrible he keeps looking down having to read the script

Manny Ribera 🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 good one!

and people gonna barely understand the word coming out from his mouth :D

I love the man but he can barely string a sentence together

I'VE NEVER ENJOYED WATCHING FOOTBALL MATCHES AT OLTRAFFORD IT'S REALLY A NOISY STADIUM THE HOME OF THE RED DEVILS

Bob Paisley

People get hype from the present bcs they weren't there in the past

I don't think there's any point in comparing Paisley and Shankly to Ferguson. All three were absolutely superb managers. Much like the whole Messi v Ronaldo debate, once those 2 retire it won't be a question of "who was better?" but more a general sense of overwhelming appreciation for fantastic players. I'm a Liverpool fan and I've only experienced the era of Fergie, and to me he's without a doubt the greatest ever. All 3 are managerial inspirations however.

SaVior R Fagan & Dalglish?

Shankly, Paisley, Daglish, Rafa?

Mantonian!!!

He’s already showing at Derby he has plenty enough in his locker to manage...because he clearly motivates others.

west ham boy well alrighty then
