It's easy to fault CBs when goals go in, and sometimes it is their fault, but there really is no replacement for having the proper protection in front of them.

Rooney does actually well into the box often. Do I think he can handle it?
I think he is capable of playing any position on the field, more than almost anyone else out there.
Can he be convinced to be a midfielder..?
Great question, that I don't know the answer to.
