I really hope this Rooney situation doesn’t go south quickly that a chasm doesn’t open up between fans and the board. To the point they the owners think eff this.
While I’ve not seen one poster on here say they wanted Rooney, most said they’d give him a chance. That has to be more than 2 games into a 3.5year contract.
I think Rooney faces a problem in that he has no connection/goodwill with the fans for several reasons
Timing of replacing JE after 2 wins
His history with Vickers
Not been a successful manager before
Image of fat, scouse granny shagger
He was clearly the owners choice not the fans.
Regarding the game
Yeh he is asking a lot of limited players to transform to this system
And some looked quite uncomfortable
We’ve definitely lost the solidity we often had under JE ….and it’s not produced goals at the other end of the pitch
He’s given all the fit senior pros game time except Marc Roberts and Aiwu….and I know Marc Roberts isn’t the answer
Will the players be up to it, will players get replaced, will WR get the time and backing if this style shift is coming from the owners?
At some point we do have to start playing better football as a club to move to the next level…is this just too quick with the wrong players?
Time will tell….
There was a 15 minute spell at start of 2nd half we looked decent moving the ball well…. Other than that very jumbled
