He's not average at all. That's completely ridiculous but the world class tag is beyond him too at this point. He played well tonight but I don't think nearly as many of those exceptionally-weighted passes would have fooled better defences.
The Fixer said:Brwned said:I think you lot are missing my point...if Rooney's average, in his view, then there's 1 or 2 City players that are above average. That's ludicrous, obviously.
And let's not get into this you can't compare two players in different positions bollocks.

He got 3 assists playing as a striker though...?
no he broke from midfield mate.
He played the same position he's played under Capello in every game, bar one, no?

It was my question?!
Start a new thread then! ;)

World class has become an entirely meaningless phrase though really.

Gotta admit his assists were quality tonight but on the other hand he did look a lot more sluggish and less dynamic than before. He's turned from a tenacious whippet into a Berbatov, Adebayor or Ibrahimovic type in terms of movement and dynamism. Okay exaggeration there but that's the path he's heading down for the rest of his career and his walk down it has started.
Of course that may not mean he becomes a worse player, just different - but it does mean that his lean spells will stand out more.
