Rooney dropped.

Damn. Was hoping the lump of lard would play

 

[TommyK]

No Musa. Problems of having a big squad I guess

 

[SwedeFox]

I've got a similar feeling as before that game in 2014. I looked at their team, saw all the new big names and thought we would get absolutely hammered. I hope I will be equally surprised today

Their team looks to have a better balance about it, than when Rooney has been included.

 

[Polar Bear]

If he comes on from the bench he'll be charging about like a spud that's spent too long in the microwave.

Second outing for the Fantastic Fourward Line. Come on City!

 

[floppus]

Musa.!!!! Schlupp.?????

 

[FIF]

probably the best lineup we could put out today.

We can't complain because they are playing their best team - ala dropping Rooney.

 

[harrowfox]

Well he looks like one

 

[homer]

Like that team

[Graz]

Happy with our lineup, worried about the effect 2 consecutive league defeats and dropping Rooney will have on them! They're due a performance...

Big test for Zieler today. He's not had to do much so far but expect today to be far busier for him

 

[homer]

Musa.!!!! Schlupp.?????

Quite right - thank feck they aren't in the starting line up

 

[pork pie fox]

Like that team

Claudio showing confidence.

 

[Brown Nose]

It's about time we won at Old Trafford.

It's about time we made a statement that we're still a serious challenger this season.

Man Utd are vulnerable.

Time for our big players to step up.

This may also mean that Rooney is dropped from England. Didn't big Sam say players had to be playing regularly for their team in order to be selected.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

COYF!

No chance. He still picked Joe Hart as his #1 after all.

Allardyce has said that he will do what Rooney tells him to, so unless Rooney wants to be dropped for England he won't be.
