I am more and more coming around to the idea that this is just not down to bad form anymore. Whether it is repeatedly changed positions, injuries or burnout, Rooney is not playing at the level he should be ATM.

When anybody says Rooney offers more to the team than scoring goals, they probably don't mean work rate. Rooney creates a lot of space for others and his passing is awesome while still inconsistent. Look at his assist few weeks ago for Rio's goal. That is what we are talking about.
