That was Rooney and his slimy agent striking at the most opportune moment, when Utd were most vulnerable. The club couldn't afford to lose the player who is, for some mysterious reason, viewed as the star man on top of dealing with the realisation Moyes was a disaster. It would have seemed as if the whole place was in free fall. So shitbag did his usual and started agitating. Horrible bastard, a whole fake career built on the back of one fluke scored against us and an endless stream of media hype.

Wilshere made a couple of errors, which was well inside the average error rate that must have been around the million mark. He's plainly been instructed to play a pointless role. There's still this stupid idea floating around he's some sort of holding midfielder. Where anybody got that idea from is a mystery. He was only played there previously to accommodate Lumpard and because he was on better form back then the media said wow, he's a holding midfielder. Woy is too brain dead to know otherwise. Barkley was given the role suited to Wilshere. You can't have both of them on the pitch together unless you drop Gerrard which is obviously unthinkable, even though it's logical and essential. So Wilshere spent most of his time watching the game, laying of simple passes from a withdrawn position. Pointless. A bit part to our glorious midfield general like any other England midfielder. There's no cohesion, it's all about assigning duties based on seniority and media coverage. The exceptions and Sturridge and Sterling because they couldn't be ignored. Even then, Sterling was taken out of the game to accommodate that shit Rooney. That tells us everything about this England set up. Even when a game plan is working, if it doesn't have the usual suspects at the heart of it it's dumped. Shit manager and in the main a shit team full of hyped garbage.

Rooney should have been helping him out, or if the plan was to leave Rooney up on of the CMs should be there. Hodgson had no answer to it and showed up his lack of ability by ignoring the problem.

Wilshere was awful, he makes one pass and runs away from the ball to hide in some corner. Make yourself available FFS. And what does he do when he gets the ball? It's his signature move of dribbling into a crowd of players and losing the ball. I don't mean to single him out or anything but I expect more from him and he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. I hope he's nowhere near the first team for us next season if he carries on like that.

It was only a cameo but it was amazing to see all the flaws in his game in such a short space of time. I hope he's nowhere near the first team for us. I can't stand when central midfield players won't make themselves available for a pass. Sterling showed a lot of players up yesterday and didn't shy away. Dropped deep to take the ball even when in an advanced position and drove play forward. It's the sort of thing I like to see from a midfield player.

Do you think that was by choice? I doubt it. After he came on, whenever the ball went forward I looked to see where he was, sitting back observing in the main. There's no way he'd choose to do that given his usual game. That was instructions from the Woy.

Scholes rushing to shrek's defence. Surprise surprise. Not one to hold back on his criticism for Jack, he's suddenly got shy when it comes to honestly appraising the bald twat.

This is why England will always lose. The leech industry build up around the team has the focus, not the football.

He does the same at Arsenal. Our midfield trio can often lack cohesion and influence. His positioning and awareness needs work.

Lol, at least he shows some passion, although a mean edit might be him saying that before the freekick
