ROONEY TOLD TO BE ANGRY

Former Everton man Slaven Bilic:

"He is in a crisis because he is not scoring goals consistently. His anger is his asset but he needs to direct it positively. It is not easy to be Rooney at the moment with all the attention he gets - when he is at his best he is almost unstoppable. It has been suggested over here we should do something to Rooney to make him lose his head but we are not a dirty team.

"You might say that Rooney is playing below par, but we shouldn't forget that prior to the World Cup he suffered a serious injury and played when he was not ready. If you look at his career he is either injured lately or banned by the FA - as soon as he gets into the swing of things he has to stop playing again."
