‘Red hot’ Rooney credits Capello for bringing out his bestJanuary 27th, 2010By ANILONDON - Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has said that England manager Fabio Capello has played a crucial role in his goalscoring glut this season.Rooney heads into the Carling Cup semi-final showdown against Manchester City with 12 goals in his last 12 games, including all four in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Hull.“I’m scoring more because I’ve changed my position. I’m now playing more up front, in the middle of the penalty area and it was Capello who suggested this new position,” Mirror quoted Rooney, as saying.“Now I know how to move differently in the area. Capello has taught me so much from a tactical point of view and given me the job of leader. He’s frightening, like a severe dad,” he added.Meanwhile, manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Rooney is in such prolific form this season that he will easily surpass his best goal return of 23 and hit at least 30 by the end of the campaign.“Wayne’s in such great form there aren’t many players matching him at the moment. His scoring form has put him up in that frame. I’m not suggesting there aren’t plenty of other good players in the country, and it’s not for me to judge who’s the best. I’m just happy with Wayne’s form,” Ferguson said.“He’s got 20 goals now, with the crucial part of the season is coming up. He could easily get to more than 30. His ratio of goals per game suggests that. He’s become more aware of the penalty box. Playing in that direct role has given him the appetite to be in the box more,” he added. (ANI)

LOL @ Capello suggesting this, seeing it work for United then going back to playing Rooney behind Heskey, Rooney dropping deep into midfield to win the ball and he even had him on the wing at the end of the Algeria game.And anyone hoping for Capello to play Gerrard or Cole behind Rooney here's what he said before the Egypt game

As for Rooney’s position, we can take it that debate is now redundant. “For me, it’s very important the position that Rooney plays this season,” added Capello.“He’s like a forward sometimes, a single forward and that’s good but I like to choose one big forward, one small forward.“Will I play Rooney on his own? No. No. Never. My style is always two forwards, one close behind the other. And that is not Steven Gerrard behind Rooney. Steve will play like a midfielder who goes forward.”

Why is it not Gerrard behind Rooney when that's their best positions, smhAnyway things will never change. Today it's 4-4-2 and long balls to Heskey/Crouch next world cup(if they even get there) it will be 4-4-2 and long balls to Andy Carroll. LOL @ the comparisons to the French. At least them guys have a light at the end of their tunnel.

lol at joe cole being swagdo u not remember the last world cup? he was our best playerheskeys hold up play is the biggest myth going. when he does actually take the ball under control he cant make a simple pass. when he has time and space to think it hurts his brain and he messes it up. perfect example when he was sent down the wing a.cole busted a gut to get in the box and he didnt have the vision to spot him or the quality to pass 1st time then he couldnt even do a stepover then he couldnt even get a ball in the box. capello said he would only pick players that are playing for their clubs? so when he picked heskey over bent, zamora and agbonlahor he lost alot of respecthis problem is he is too arrogant. he is like rafa its unbelievable. he wants to stick 2 his guns and try to prove his way was right but by that time we will be out of the world cupthis is why capello is a mug for only bringing 4 strikers, thinking that rooney will perform but he hasnt turned up. now he can stick with him which no doubt he will do or pick from heskey, crouch and defoe lmfao some joke tinglook at argentinas attacking options compared to ours and maradona doesnt have experience. its not always about experience. most overused thought in football. you need a mixture of both exp and hungry youth trying to make a name. it was heratbreaking watchin that match. you wait all week for it and when it comes around we are woeful but your not really surprised

[Badman]

They will probably win the last game then crash out in the quarters while getting a man sent offjust typical england really

[nem kid]

gassing fumwhen did i compare the 2 sets of players? trying to back up ur argument with tryna twist sh*t. stop defending heskey bruv. we might aswell play with 10 men. hes lethargic. obviously 80% of the other players have been swag but he has done nothing 2 warrant being in the squad let alone the 1st teamhow can man think joe cole is swag lmfao clueless guyfrom when thats ur opinion there is no point debating with u

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

tbh Joe cole is not swag is he? And thats besides the point, whats more to the point is why SWP is playing ahead of him? As for Heskey, he wasnt our worse player last night but thats not exactly a compliment is it? When he fell over the ball tryna do a stepover I actually laughed out loud. The guy is terrible. Lost count of how many times he did well holding the ball up, then flopped a 5-10 yard pass :mellow:Rooney was appauling, came with some Adebayor trampoline foot. Cashley is too much tbh. Another point, we had Carragher and Terry as our centre backs....(Sorry cant stop lolling), that lack of pace is RIDICULOUS, combined with the fact Carragher is the worst footballer in the world, all hes good at is giving throw ins away the f*ck*ng peice of sh*t, cant believe hes been called back up. Ball retention from the back is just non existent.

FUMING.Wayne Rooney needs to die the mouthy scouse c*nt, trying doing something before running your mouth.

[Sleepz]

You recovered from the Spanish game then?The ball wasn't been given away by the centre backs, it was the midfield and forwards who were f*ck*ng up in the final third with sloppy passes. Carragher is a defender, you know he tackles people and does all that ugly stuff you hate so much but him giving the ball away lots is a myth anywayJAMIE CARRAGHER PASS COMPLETION 92.3%

[menace-II-society]

lol i missed this coz i locked off the game when the whistle went due to anger

The players had ever right to be booed imo

[TF S4DK]

Really can't take certain man seriously on here, really cant.Oh Wenger >>>>>>>>>>>>On the booing "surprised fans booed as they had probably fallen asleep" and "need to consult with air traffic control", as Peter Crouch came on.

How many passes did he actually make though? 92% of 10 passes isnt impressive, is it? (Im just making a point here using these numbers). A couple of occasions a better player would have kept the ball instead Carragher insisted of finding his friends and family in the stands, Im convinced he's got a business plan to set up an ebay store selling official jabulani's from englands games to help pay the mortgage now that champions league money has dried up.
