Wayne Rooney (39 years old), Manchester United's legend and one of the best markers in Premier League history, launched hard criticism of Liverpool and coach Arne Slot (47), after the two consecutive defeats suffered by Cormorants in front of Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.
Rooney's main reproach was related to the Dutch decision to use Dominik Szoboszlai as a right defender, at a time when Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong were injured and only partially apt.
Wayne Rooney charges Arne Slot for “experiments”: “If Amorim would have done this at Manchester United, it would certainly have been crucified”
“Liverpool was really very weak against Galatasaray. When you become a champion, as he made a slot, some decisions are forgiven. But to use a midfielder as a right defender and a right wing is a decision that I ask. If Amorim had done this at Manchester United, he would certainly have been crucified“The Englishman said at The Wayne Rooney Show.
The former striker also criticized Liverpool's lack of plan in key moments:
“From my point of view, it is worrying that Liverpool, being driven, with enough time to equal, Slot simply throws every offensive player. It is like telling them: «handle». The situation could have been much more serious for Liverpool, because they lost the ball so often in defense. Then there was the injury of the goalkeeper Alisson. ”

Wayne Rooney, nicknamed Wazza, believes that the success of Slot last season gives him protection from the press and fans:
“When you win the championship, as Slot did last year, sometimes not so much attention is paid to the decisions you make. I mean, among others, to his decision to use a midfielder as a right defender and a right defender as a wing.”
