Was Fergie punishing Rooney or doing him a favour by dropping him at Everton?

well to be honest rooney's in a bit of a rough patch. first, his personal life is in shambles. he's obviously under pressure from everyone to score and regain the form he was on last season and it might just be overwhelming. people forget he's still young and and not yet fully mature. england fans seem to think he's the one to save them in their time of need and they are perhaps too demanding. fergie knows this so he dropped him for a match, perhaps so rooney could get himself together.
