Hes really struggling, 4(3) appearances and not a single goal. Hes missing everything, and i mean missing badly!

Last outing against Blackburn he was hitting shots ridiculously wide from inside the box, how can i get the best out of him? Do i need to get him training on his shooting?

From my experience, Rooney in FM can be like Rooney in real life, sucking semi-horribly for a time, and then scoring from anywhere against anybody over the course of a few games. Probably something to do with a combination of Consitancy, Important Matches, Pressure, Determination, Pressure, etc.

My advice is to stick with him, but to not be afraid to take him off or play him deeper so the goal-scoring duties aren't solely on his shoulders, he can usually make up for his misses with the assists, etc.

He went something ridiculous like 18 months without a competitive international goal didn't he in real life so he's not exactly your mr consistent prolific scorer
