I wasn't impressed with Rooney tonight.
Apart from the pass for Defoe's second, what did he do?
Tyldsel was creaming himself over that pass, but in that situation anybody would have played the same ball.
He spent much of the game too deep; at times he was further back than Barry.
To me, this shows a player low on confidence and / or thinking he has to be the centre of everything because he doesn't believe his team-mates are good enough to do the job.
I reckon Capello should have played Gerrard behind Defoe, with Milner in the middle and AJ on the left.
