“Wayne Rooney is not worth his place in the starting line-up. People talk about him in the same breath as someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, but that miss tonight in the 93rd minute could have cost us a goal that could cost us qualification. Rooney’s confidence is shot. He’s trying to be the best man around, but he’s playing the worst of anybody. If Roy Hodgson’s picking a team of players in form then Wayne Rooney should not be in the team. He scored the winning goal, but that’s all he’s done in two games.”
– comment on BBC Radio 5 after England’s 1- 0 win over Estonia.
“But that’s a massive thing. Wayne Rooney is still a quality player. He might be suffering with confidence, but when that one moment came this evening, he scored it. No-one else did.”
