I would have preferred to leave him on the bench.[LNB]"He was a safety player that we knew we could have played if we needed him - he was there.[LNB]"I think his energy and confidence was very high. He makes an impact. He is such a good player and is always capable of scoring. He was a wee bit unlucky."[LNB]CSKA boss Slutski added: "Rooney is one of the best players in the world.
