I think sometimes a break will do him more good.
seriously this guy has too much pressure on his shoulders. He was
dubbed saviour of England & the last world cup, the media are
all looking at him to win the World Cup single handedly for
England. This forced him to play before fully recovering from
injury and I dare say, partially or not, it affected his
performance since then.
i say, take a break, go relax and do something, take your mind off
and come back rejuvinated and a different player. SAF has this good
policy of giving jaded players a period of off and most often than
not, with positive results.
Schemichel was given off too, and he came back totally different
and charged. I see no reason why Rooney shouldn't take the
advise.
Don't over pressure yourself. come on, 5 matches without a goal is
ok, Man U is still leading and goals are coming from other avenues.
There are other players who have gone more matches without scoring
anything...
