Now if you add these goals to his performance in general, that elevates him to the same level as someone like Ronaldo. That is why it is so frustrating, he really needs to get down and work on finishing off those chances.

I don't think it's about work. I bet you anything Wayne Rooney's working like feck on his finishing in training. Fact is, they just won't go in at the minute.
Look at the Liverpool game, he twice brought down extremely difficult high balls, showing great touch, on one occasion actually hitting it first time after doing so, it was fantastic, but Reina saved it. He's playing well, he's getting in those positions time and again, he's just not scoring.
That's the way it goes sometimes. He's never been a really consistently lethal finisher, but he's a lot more clinical than he's showing at the moment.
Nothing anyone can do, just have to wait for it to happen. And ideally not play him as the frontman after this season.
