Rooney - - not firing on any cylinders

He's not fully fit but today he was still quite effective and could have scored a goal which is all he needs really now as the games are providing him with a platform to regain full fitness which you can see he's heading towards.

I guess if you really had to search for answers then burnout could be one, he's usually had an injury before this point in a season (3-4 weeks 'rest'). This is one of this few complete seasons.

Lampards more of a concern surely. Bit better today, but beyond simple passing & the rebound he sliced really didnt come into the game again.

 

Not that he did badly, just not the same "world class" standard of player he is at Chelsea by far.

Not really, as Lampard never steps up for England, sadly :(

Played a lot better today, and that was the major factor behind the team playing better.

 

Still not mentally all there though. He was very greedy for one chance in the first half, where he should have knocked the ball right to Milner.

he shouldn't play so deep.. so his energy wasn't wasted in entire game. He should be keep dangerous for opponent by keep burst into goal area as often as possible. By the end he is being substitute he seem losing all his breath. He play awful really in 3 WC games really below par from his usual standard.

Lampard was a passenger again today, England don't accommodate him like Chelsea do and because of that he's a spare part most of the time. Really would like to see him dropped, Gerrard coming inside with J Cole out on the left.

Much better today and only a fabulous save prevented him opening his account for the tournament.

 

Not a worry really.

 

Was a rather scuffed shot though, had he hit it cleanly then he probably would have scored.

Aye, it look liked he panicked a bit.

Aye, was still a half-decent save, but you would expect Rooney to put those away.

What ???

 

He's not been anywhere near the world class player he claims to be, he needs to step it up big time in the next game, if selected, otherwise we go home.

 

Fabulous save my arse, he scuffs the shot and the keeper gets a finger or two on it but there's not enough of a deviation to suggest had he not, it was going in.

 

Rooney thus far has been a huge let down, for everyone that has any interest in England, he's not the only one and Lampard is right up there with him in the dissapointed stakes but because he's assumed this title of a world great and seems happy to live with it, he needs to perform like one.

Of course it was going in, scuffed or not.

Infact the whole MF was too deep for the first two games.
