Yeah Southgate is poor coach, but people need to stop disrespecting what he has actually done to evolved and progress the team as a whole. He saw that Gooney was done and not really able to play midfield at the top level and bushed him. Other managers would of still been parading Gooney out there like they did with Gerrard and Lampard and others in the past.

Remember United fans fawning over CM Rooney after that Van Persie assist :mjlol:
Thought that nikka was going to become Xavi overnight :mjlol:

Fergie thought he could play Rooney in that role since RVP was the main man but Rooney didn't wanna play there, part of the reason he wanted to leave the second time..
I remember Jose was asked about Rooney in midfield and he was like; "He's either a 9 or a 10, not a 8 or 6 :camby:"

Before Jose saw that Rooney was too :flabbynsick:

Still remember during the EFL Cup final, Rooney was meant to come on but Ibra scored the winner and sent on Fellaini instead, Rooney said he was embarrassed :bryan:
