I believe it's not the manager that's important, it's the players. How can a world class player such as Wayne Rooney let himself become so poor and on the wages he's on as well. The manager simply manages the team and asks each player to carry out certain tasks / roles. At the end of the day it's up to the players to perform and earn their money. I mean did you see Wayne Rooney appealing for that penalty near the end of the game when it was never a penalty, not only did he appeal he went chasing after the referee and continued doing so once the ball went out of play. Rooney is not on the pitch to make the referees decisions for him or to help/guide him with the decisions or dive around and cheat, he's there to play football and perform, so maybe if he shut his mouth and just got on with the game and concentrated on his own poor performance rather than somebody else's he'd manage to become a better player for it. Long gone are the days where football players are actually playing football on the pitch, they're just there to show the world how immature they are and how stupid they are. Would George Best ever do things like that on the pitch, no, what about Lionel Messi, not a chance, Rooney is nowhere near the kind of level that a world class professional footballer needs to be. It's not about having skills, experience, etc, it's about doing your best no matter how bad things get without getting frustrated and angry like you need your nappy changing or something, these people seriously need to grow up, even more so as they're important role models for todays younger generations, some role models they are, they're useless.
The same goes for many other players for many other teams across the Country and possibly further, I only pick on Manchester United because I support them and hate to see what's happening to them. The players don't have the mental strength to achieve anything worthwhile, not when they break so easily all the time when under the smallest amount of pressure. They need to fight back in the right way rather than the wrong way as they do.
