Round pegs in round holes. if Rooney plays we've changed the whole back line and keeper but everyone would be in a natural position. If midfield have confidence in the defence they're more likely to push up and press the attack. Even without the striker we would have liked we're more than capable of getting goals..
I can’t decide if I’d rather have a bit more experience in our CB pairing. Don’t want to drop Shepherd, but worry that him and Rooney might be a bit naive.
