Firstly, 2 out of 10 is harsh.
Even Dirk Kuyt ran around and made a couple of key passes to Torres at Milan. Not comparing Rooney with him but key passes is just clutching at straws.
How was he one of our better performers when he missed a great chance, put in a crazy challenge that most neutrals felt was a red card and was largely responsible for conceding a goal?
The age argument is crap. At a younger age, Fowler was a top class striker compared to say Ruud. He was voted PFA young player of the year twice in a row as well. Being at the right club and especially under the tutelage of SAF, Rooney's talent will be developed far better but its high time some of you realize that not every boy wonder goes on to be the worlds best.
