Not surprising with Rooney, if he's not happy with the service/chances he's getting he chases around and winds up way out of position.
The biggest issue for me is the continued inability of Gerrad and Lampard to work well together. There's just no chemistry there. The ball Gerrard played back would have been perfect if Lampard had dropped off into the hole, but it seems they don't have that connection to both be on the same page about it. They both played decently today, but as soon as it came time for them to link together it fell apart. It seems that one of them really has to take the alpha dog role, I'm just not sure either is able/willing to accept not being the one in that role.
