True enough but you can't guarantee that his replacement would have scored those goals. They possibly might but the only definite is that he DID, therefore his goals got us to this tournament. I think it's sickening how this has been ignored by our media leading in to this competition. We should give him a go against Italy and see then, not decide two weeks before that he's not up to it.
"We should give him a go against Italy and see then, not decide two weeks before that he's not up to it. " I agree with that, if he is crap V Italy though I still cant see Roy dropping him
I would go one further and say that he actually deserves to be given the striker role against Italy, without wanting to cause uproar. If he's picked at ten and doesn't score he'll get crucified regardless. Pick him at nine. Barkley behind him and Lallana and Sterling ether side of Barkley. Sturridge is sub. **** all wrong with that at all.
I actually agree to be honest. We talk about Rooney not setting the world alight for England, but its not like we have anyone better.
Rooney did score the goals. Would his replacement? Nobody will ever know. Work on facts, not assumptions.
