These stats are meaningless. Rooney has played 86 times, but what is the figure for the no. of games he didn't play in? The sample data has to be the same to be comparable surely? If he's played 40 competitive fixtures for your stats, but didn't feature in only 20, then the stats are flawed as...
I think so. We should finally accept we are the Stoke of international football. Hit it long to Crouch and Lambert, let Walcott and Chamberlain chase down the loose balls.....Let Wilshere pretend there is some resemblance to football with the occasional pass. We really don't need Rooney.
When you say, 'go through him' do you mean pump aimless balls forward in the hope it gets to him?
England 'going through someone' would suggest an ability to pass the football. :moo:
