that shouldn't happen though.
Or rather, i suppose it should happen. But our managers should have the balls to not use him if he doesn't perform when given the chance.
The thing is though that Rooney has the potential to do the job. If not him, who plays? There really aren't many goal threats that we have.
But he hasn't shown it for England in how long? Sterling is the real deal and Sturridge and Lallana are in great form. Their records for goals and creating chances have been phenomenal this season. That leaves one last spot in the front 4. You could have an argument that hes worth having in the team instead of Welbeck or the others but the problem is that once you put rooney in the team he immediately becomes the focal point.
