#1 Another big game, another frustrating outing for Wayne Rooney
Once again Wayne Rooney failed to shine in a big game for Everton this season after another dire performance against Liverpool on Saturday.
Trending
The 32-year-old moved from Manchester United to the Goodison Park outfit in the summer in search of more playing time. However, he has been restricted to very few minutes in the big games that Everton have played this season.
Rooney was afforded 58 minutes in last week’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City and against Liverpool, he was once again substituted after just 57 minutes. The former England captain’s demeanour after his substitution showed a man who is frustrated by his lack of game time in the big games.
Against the Reds, Allardyce chose to play Rooney in midfield, but he was largely unimpressive which led to his early withdrawal.
Rooney has rarely completed a full game against the top teams in the Premier League this season, and such a miserable run will undoubtedly continue, especially looking at his poor outing against Liverpool on Saturday.
