MORE DARKNESS AS ROONEY’S TENURE GETS WORSE

Disaster is descending on Wayne Rooney as he faces it. When the ownership fired John Eustace, a man who had setbacks while at St Andrew’s but was unquestionably steering the team in the right direction, they knew they were taking a chance.

The team’s performance and the extent of the West Bromwich Albion victory gave us a realistic idea of how they would perform this season. Eustace’s style of play fit the players well; he was stodgy, defended in numbers, and had good press off the ball in addition to showing good quality on the counter.

Rooney, however, has a totally different style. Similar to the changes at Bournemouth from O’Neil to Iraola, and Leeds United from Bielsa to Marsch (though it’s too early to tell with this one).

Rooney’s style is wholly inappropriate for his team. Although the team’s skill level has undoubtedly increased, this group is not accustomed to having the ball in their possession or playing it so well. If Rooney doesn’t have players who meet his requirements, he won’t be able to coach and train these players to become what he wants them to be.

These are things that the owners ought to have known. For me, the appeal that Rooney’s appointment has brought is a little bit limited. The same is true for Lampard and Rooney after they start working. Take Villa as an example; they are currently dominating Europe and have a unique and practical style of play. allowing the football to speak for itself. After that, the off-field issues will resolve themselves.

Although all people make mistakes, getting rid of Eustace always seemed like a snap judgment. There was no justification. How do you switch up your playing style? These days, it is practically unattainable.

And things appear insurmountable on the field. the chance to beat Ipswich, but some poor decision-making during the match prevented Rooney from winning his first title as Blues manager. However, it accurately depicted Rooney’s time in the Northeast.

Sunderland dominated the first 25 minutes of play, while the opposition was inconsistent and constantly changing positions. Although Sanderson and Aiwu were tense, Rooney wants his players, especially the center backs, to be aggressive in duels and efficient in passing.

They must now assume responsibility from a distance, and Sanderson was unable to choose his targets with accuracy. Ivan Sunjic’s possession problems were evident as his errors in the second half resulted in the game’s winning goal. When Eustace led the Blues to that decisive 3-1 victory, he lost possession and then was unable to locate his runner, causing them to retreat further from their original position.

It’s always the coach when this is how most of the team is playing. Both the system and the team’s organizational structure have shortcomings. However, connecting passes is one of the fundamentals of football, and James and Sunjic simply disregarded the advice.

Rooney needs to adjust, but there isn’t much time left. Although it appears attractive at first glance, Winter has arrived and people are beginning to adjust to the new routine. We were treated the same way by Southampton by Sunderland. There was nothing we could do to stop them as they preyed on our weaknesses and inefficiencies.

A different result might have been obtained on a different day. They could have scored significantly more than we could have, too. That’s the issue.
