Well, it's quite simple really: he needs to aim for the space under the crossbar and between those two post-shaped objects sticking out of the ground. He's got to kick it with enough force to beat the goalkeeper and defenders.
Although I will say his assist for the Sturridge equaliser was very good, his one moment of brilliance last night. He's not a selfish player, which is nice to see, but he just lacks that finishing quality. To be perfectly honest, I thought he was below-par at United last season as well, so maybe his form has taken a permanent dip.

I watched him live for the first time in a match between Cardiff and Manchester last season.
What he is brilliant at is finding little pockets of space between the oppositions defence and midfield, that is where (I believe) he should be playing for Ingerland. Think Teddy Sheringham or Peter Bearsley....the link man!

Rooney increasingly offers little of anything genuine up front and less and less at the back - in summation: he weaves one way, skins an opposition player, transplants a shot across to Sturridge, recedes anonymously back into the midfield, fails to plug a gap, ends up losing possession, the opposition see that our late and desperate substitutions are no replacement for the real thing, score again and we drop out of the qualifying group.

I'm led to believe they don't do it for the money.

Rooney is dogsh#t. Not good on the biggest stages. Not 1 WC finals goal. OK his cross was perfect to Sturridge. That corner 
Over-rated - check
Cant hack the pace - check
Occasional quality moment - check
Considered a "top top top player" by the old boys network of pundits no matter the evidence - check
Has to be included in the team for mysterious reasons - check
I give you our new defensive midfield double-pivot.. Gerrard and Rooney!
marvel as they are passed by with ease
gape as they track back at half pace leaving the defence exposed
wow as they attempt their 12th hollywood pass, knowing just one has find its mark because even if it leads to nothing it will feature in the highlights. "That's the quality you get with ___" purrs the commentator and their run in the team continues.
