Without a goal from open play for Wayne Rooney, and some people had the audacity to say he was better than the PL's best player, Didier Drogs.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

rooneys going through a spell where everything seems to have deserted him, scoring/control/passing the lot, most strikers go through barren spells, but rooneys whole game has been effected, he will get back to his best, but it seems to be taking time, it stems back to his injury away at bayern, that seems to have set him back far more than anyone could have imagined

He was never allowed to get fully fit. We rushed him back after he was injured against Bayern because we needed him to try and win the league. Then the WC came round and he hasn't had time to recover and then get back to match fitness. Those shit performances when he wasn't fit affected his confidence too. Only now will he start to get back to being fully fit so it's pretty harsh to judge him so much. Hopefully his goal againt West Ham will get his confidence back up and he'll start performing like he did the majority of last year.

Torres will be re-confirmed as the top striker by the end of the year

Rooney hasn't been shit for his previous seasons. His goalscoring improved last season, his movement and eagerness to get into the goalscoring positions improved a lot but there's a lot to Rooney's game that we didn't see as much of last season as result of that slight change in position.

We know he's not a class finisher like Villa, Torres, Eto'o, Drogba etc. but that's not to say he's shit. Rooney's problem is that he doesn't have enough strong attributes in one aspect of his game. If he plays up top, we don't get as much of the good work he does from deep, creating and spraying the ball around and likewise when he plays deeper he doesn't get as many goalscoring opportunities.

He's neither a proper striker or a typical #10. Sure his touch isn't great but so what. Every player has strong, okay, average and poor qualities. What Rooney lacks in some areas, he makes up for in others and it's the total package that matters so if Rooney scores 34 goals like last season it doesn't make any difference whether he finished them like Torres or Drogba, he'll have been there to take the chances and that in itself is a good quality in a striker.

He's a very good player, not world class though, and anyone who says different is just wrong and that's that. It reallya nnoys me when a player is deemed as shite becuase he doesn't posses some desirable attributes. The only thing that really matters is his contribution and he makes a very good contribution every season and I'm sure he'll do so this season once he gets his confidence and fitness back to near 100%.

And by the way the run Rooney went on without a goal is really not as bad as it looks. I think he's had at least two or three spells where he looked worse. The stats won't tell you that but then the stats don't tell you he was rushed back into action for the latter part of last season, they don't tell you England's team and tactics at the World Cup were a complete mess and that helped make sure Rooney was a passenger. As if that midfield was actually creating chances for him, it looked set up for Gerrard and Lampard to benefit from Heskey's knockdowns and to be honest it just made sure Rooney wasn't involved as much as he should've been. Capello made a real bollocks of it if you ask me. that being said, Rooney was poor.

I don't even consider this barren spell as a problem, I really don't know how anyone can actually take it seriously. Rooney has been either unfit, lacking sharpness or playing in a shit team that didn't suit him at all.
