There is definetly a missing spark in his game. It seems as though he has completely surrendered any egotism and made it subordinate to the team ethic. But I think when players show a bit of individuality, special things can happen.

As you say, Rooney is too happy to make the simple pass at the moment and he is looking like an ordinary footballer - that is not befitting of his talents.
