Well I would like to know how that's going to happen when hes stuck out wide left, and even when he did get in the box it was like watching Torres in an England shirt.
What would you do with Rooney?

Of course it was
Sturridge and Rooney together, with Sterling playing down the right. Maybe make Welbeck the waterboy.

Considering he earns £42,857 a day...EVERY DAY, I doubt he gives a monkeys what anyone thinks.
(Plus what he earns playing for England)

Gary Neville sounded quite bullish about Rooney in an interview I've just seen. He won't be getting dropped at all, they wouldn't dare.

And that has just ruined my day
They don't get paid (wages) playing for their country.

Ive been thinking about this over last couple of days and for me Rooney HAS to play. I would play him behind Sturridge where Sterling played against Italy. Rooney is still a big threat and our best player whether people like it or not.
Too many rose tinters out there for me. Sterling had a decent game against Italy but lets be honest where was the end product? He never created that killer pass or had a shot on target IIRC. Rooney played like a dog according to most yet he laid on a plate our goal for Sturridge and still got into the position to have a great chance even though he missed it.
If we had a chance one on one with the keeper on Thursday to win the game who would you want on the end of it in our squad? It would be Rooney every time for me as he is still our best and most clinical player.
I think most peoples dislike for him as a person is clouding their judgement.

Just seen Gary Neville talking Rooney up and so I think he'll be in, probably in the central role. As for Sturridge and Sterling, I think it isn't a bad thing to have them wider. Get the ball to their feet and isolate a full back or centre half and they'll kill them for speed, draw a foul, ideally in the box and get the balls in. It sounds like the perfect plan to deal with the Uruguay back four.

While we're all having a go at Rooney, it might be interesting for people to note the following...
Ronaldo World Cup Record
Appearances: 11
Goals: 2 (1 penalty against Iran in 2006 and the 7th in a 7-0 win over North Korea in 2010)
Messi World Cup Record
Appearances: 9
Goals: 2 (The 6th in a 6-0 win over Serbia & Montenegro in 2006 and the one against Bosnia the other night)
Now, accepting as we all do that those two players are far superior to our Wayne, they've hardly lit up the world cup have they?

So he hasn't!
He does score well in qualifiers but never done it on the biggest stage in the world.
Maybe he gets stage fright?

Really?
Rooney has ONE goal in world cup finals from 9 or 10 games whereas Sturridge has ONE goal in world cup finals from ONE game.
Great plan, lets have to guy who can't hit a barn door that the horses have left open for the guy who's already matched his all time record.
" Forms temporary, Class is permanent" springs to mind.
It's only an opinion.
Sturridge should be banned for dancing like a Pratt after scoring.
