dyabman: Even Drogba will give you an African slap for this dud comparison. Ancelloti(Drogba's manager) admitted Rooney is a better player. |
Re: : by dyabman(m): 12:35am On Feb 09, 2010 |
~Sauron~: I thought you had National Diploma in English before traveling to the other side of the Pacific. . . That's Ancellotis F.C.U.King choice. . . Mourinho wouldnt have said that if he was asked. . . |

From Telegraph. . . . . Shooting Rooney: Used to specialise in spectacular efforts from outside the box but that changed when he started playing higher up the pitch. Still packs a knockout punch but has added some subtlety this season to his finishing. 9 Drogba: Lets fly from all sorts of angles, often hitting it early to catch the keeper off balance. Like Rooney, much stronger on his right foot and has developed a devastatingly effective technique at free-kicks. 9 Heading Rooney: As proved by Everton’s Tim Cahill, you don’t have to be tall to be good in the air. Rooney has worked hard on this aspect of his game, gaining reward with three headed goals this term. 7 Drogba: At 6’2”, you could argue that Chelsea’s powerhouse should score more goals with his head. That said, he’s certainly no slouch in this area, particularly when defending, often clearing danger with a thumping effort. 8 Hold-Up Play Rooney: Second to none. His touch, movement and awareness of space give team-mates in possession an easy option. Does this, what’s more, closer to goal these days, which is always harder. 9 Drogba: A one-man battering ram who can safely gather long, hoisted balls through overwhelming strength and pace. His touch might not be as well-honed as Rooney’s, but, in the heat of battle, that’s no comfort to defenders. 8 Work rate Rooney: Always a selfless team player who never stopped running, he now channels that energy in the areas that count. A manager’s dream who, on any given day, is prepared to bust a gut. 10 Drogba: Doesn’t take so much part in the build up as Rooney, preferring to stay on the shoulder inside the width of the box. As a result, he won’t be in a rush to close down the full-back. 8 Discipline Rooney: Has cleaned up his act with regard to lunging tackles and berating the referee. Still likes a moan, mind, and a few snarled expletives but not anything like the angry lad of old. 7 Drogba: Thankfully, the embarrassing playacting has been significantly cut. Those dying swan routines show up less frequently. Still loves a perceived injustice or a running feud but, at 31, appears to have matured. 7 Total Rooney: 42 Drogba: 40 |

Rooney's finishing 9? It must be on a scale of 9-19 |
Re: : by Sauron1: 3:29pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
ritchboy: Read well na. . . . . .It says SHOOTING not finishing!!! It means long range efforts and short-range. U cannot deny Rooney's shots. The goal against Newcastle in his debut season with United was a master-class. |
Re: : by ritchboy(m): 3:52pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
Sauron shooting, finishing, shot accuracy, however its spun, Rooney isnt a 9 and isnt on Drogba's level in that department. If Rooney gets a 9 what does a player like Torres get? 27? |
Re: : by tkb417(m): 4:24pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
Ritchie what makes you think Torres is better than Rooney? Torres DOB: 1984 Athetico Madrid (App) 214 (Goals) 82 Liverpool (App) 72 (Goals) 50 National team (App) 71 (Goals) 23 Total 357 155 rate of retuirn 2.3 goals Rooney DOB: 1985 Everton (App) 67 (Goals) 15 Man UTD (App) 187 (Goals) 86 National team (App) 57 Goals) 25 Total 305 126 rate of return 2.4 goals so what are u saying? |
Re: : by ritchboy(m): 7:04pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
Tkb Torres is the best striker on earth bar none. You are pasting stats that stretch as far back as 2002 to determine who the better player is in 2010? How dayokanuish of you! maybe i can also say Shevchenko is better than Rooney based on career stats. . . I laugh in 666 |
Re: : by tkb417(m): 7:08pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
past? ok show me the present stats? i tot Rooney was the highest goal scorer for world cup qualifier; how about his present 21 goal tally in the league? what are u saying? or the present has nothn to do with the present season |
Re: : by ritchboy(m): 7:43pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
Tkb David Healy was also once top scorer in qualifiers. Torres has spent most of the season on the side-lines so i dont know what ur on about. Perhaps you are trying to tell me Defoe is better than Torres cos he's scored many goals this season. Torres is the best striker the EPL has seen since Henry in his prime, FACT! |
Re: : by Sauron1: 8:40pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
ritchboy: Finishing is NOT shooting. . . . . .Get some perspective. If finishing is shooting they wouldn't have judged their heading ability. Shooting, shot accuracy, heading all fall under finishing so i dunno what you are ON about. Rooney can shoot better than Torres. Torres is a beast in the box(no doubt about that) but he is useless outside the box unlike Drogba, Rooney, Henry and Van Persie. Don't be deceived. . . . . |

You've got to love those idiots @ the telegraph . I won't be that suprised if they came up with 'Silly Methods' that rates Carrick over Xavi. |
