Agree with that, but thank fuck even when he's a little off colour he's very rarely a passenger for us. An off form Rooney is still liable to cause a defence problems and create something, even when he looks like he couldn't score in a whorehouse. I've watched Ibrahimovic for example a few times lately, and when he's off form he's good for nothing.
The disappointing thing for Rooney this season was that the injuries struck when he was scoring for fun at the start of the season. Poacher's goals as well, which seemed at the time like a big step forward in his development.
