If you were Rooney right now would you stick to your guns or would you try to shut up shop and stop the rot?

I don't think he knows how to shut up shop

I think I’d hold my hands up Keegan style, apologise to the Blues fans and just accept it’ll never work.

I’d take the money until I was sacked

If he believes in it he needs to stick to it.

We don’t have the players to shut up shop

Going on his post match interview, he 100% doesn't have a clue! He doesn't have a clue what the plan is and doesnt know how to even sound like he knows what to do.
Not calling for him to be sacked but please for god sake Wayne sort your shit out!

Stick it out for the payout, just because the club were foolish enough to sign an unproven manager to a long term deal for a shed load of cash doesn't make it Wayne's problem

We don’t have the players to play this Brighton style football that they want either.

I think we have. It wasn't so long ago (9 games?) that we had the second best defensive record in the division.

If I were Rooney I’d start thinking about what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, cos it won’t be football management.

I would agree but what’s more concerning is it’s not like they are trying and making mistakes or just can’t do it. It looks like they haven’t had any coaching on how to play a system, unless that system is chaos.

It’s like we pass the ball to somebody and expect them to do something with it. There is no triangles, 3rd man runs or just people showing for the ball. It’s like every man for themselves on the pitch.

I still can’t work out what our identity is trying to be under Rooney I think he has lost confidence in possession based high tempo himself and now we are just in no mans land.

Pre match interview was more interesting for me. He knows he's not going anywhere, regardless of the results.

For all the talk of players coming in, I'd be more worried about losing players at the moment.

You’re right. He come in and wanted us to play this front foot possession football, and we didn’t do that tonight. Nor did we do it against Rotherham, or Wednesday. There’s no clear style of play. It just looks like a team of individuals atm, with no idea what theyre supposed to do, and no organisation.
