But Rooney's barren spell again co-incides with Rusk's change in set-up.
Every manager has their own style, I get that and I understand that it takes a while for that to be implemented fully but there's a serious issue with what's being implemented as it's stifled the attack. Players who were previously scoring regularly are now not doing immediatepy after a shift in system.
People are happy to give Rusk a pat on the back for shoring up the defence yet when it comes to addressing the lack of goals, it's solely down to the players.
