I don't think his finishing ability is all that bad, it's just extremely inconsistent. When he's one of his sprees he doesn't seem to miss, so I do believe that the ability is definitely there. People forget that he's still a young player - young players are bound to be inconsistent in certain areas of their game.
He's at his best when angrily powering them in from the edge of the area or something (à la his Bolton hattrick last season)... I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen Rooney go one on one with the 'keeper and try to dink it over him as he rushes out, only to see it saved.
Regardless, he seems to be hitting form at a crucial point in the season. I get the feeling that he's close to going on a run of scoring again, just needs a goal or two to set him off. United with with Rooney and Ronaldo both on fire could quite easily go all the way in the Champions League.
