Out of touch: Rooney failed to live up to the hype on his return to Roy Hodgson's side
'It is only normal if Wayne is weighed down with that feeling of expectation because everyone expects him to do well. Since he's been around, there's been pressure because of his performances in 2004. Wayne is expected to come to these tournaments and win them all on his own.
'The responsibility has got to be on all 23 players. It's unfair to look at Wayne and say because he never played well, he's the reason why we don't do well at these tournaments.'
