I like Rooney. Thought it was all fair enough and a fair response from Virg too.

I like Rooney. Thought it was all fair enough and a fair response from Virg too.

Virge referred to Rooney talking about him signing a new contract and then letting it slide, foot off the gas... I hadn't heard that before, and thats a bit cheeky of him.

I like Rooney. Thought it was all fair enough and a fair response from Virg too.

Nah, Rooney was suggesting Virg’s performances had dropped as he signed a new deal and had put his feet up - that’s publicly questioning his integrity and Rooney should know better

[memzey]

Virgil's interview last night has to go down as an all time great. ****ing murdered Rooney. Was great to see and everyone knew it.

[Paul12]

Rooney the pundit seems to be little better than Rooney the manager.

[BG1973]

Nah, Rooney was saying Virg’s performances had dropped as he signed a new deal and wasn’t trying to - that’s publicly questioning his integrity and Rooney should know better

I didn't know that and wasn't clear Virg was referring to Rooney with that comment.

Did Rooney say that?

[rudedog]

I didn't know that and wasn't clear Virg was referring to Rooney with that comment.

Did Rooney say that?

This is what he said:

'This is a time where the manager and the leaders in the team need to figure it out very quickly. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, they've signed new deals but I don't think they've really led that team this season.’

[Corndog]

We were 4231 out of possession at times tonight.

It looked like 4-5-1 at times with Salah and Wirtz back

[Buzzo]

I thought both he and Arne had a nicely balanced simmering rage. Given we’d just beaten Real Madrid there was not a hint of self congratulation.

Because that is the difference between those with high standards/expectations and those that are happy to just get a win. The former know that results like last night are just a single battle within the war, the latter would be bouncing about like it was the be all and end all.

Simmering rage is a good description - we are just better with that intensity bubbling away

We aren't good enough to win games by strolling around, our season is now on the line and it's great that the penny's dropped for everyone, including our manager

Long may this continue, I don't mind a bit of us v the world

[BG1973]

This is what he said:

'This is a time where the manager and the leaders in the team need to figure it out very quickly. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, they've signed new deals but I don't think they've really led that team this season.’

Lol. I take it back... surprised Virg held back as much as he did.

[Daniel 7]

The other thing with that Virg interview - he was eloquent, precise, insightful and not only got his message across, but let the fella next to him know how ridiculous his comments were without being aggressive or confrontational, all in his second language. Rooney tries to respond, in his native language, and couldn't get his words out or make any sense at all. He was left looking like a kid who had just been put in his place by the head teacher.

[fidget]

Continuing my record of not having attended a match we've
lost in over a decade!
Atmosphere was electric and the performance was incredible.
