🚨 Wayne Rooney fires back at Jürgen Klopp over his comments comparing Germany's disallowed goal to Arsenal's set-pieces:
🗣️ “Listen, you can't keep dragging Arsenal into every conversation.
Every time there's a controversial decision, somehow Arsenal become the reference point. It's getting ridiculous.
People spent an entire season trying to discredit Arsenal's set-pieces, calling them lucky, calling them boring and saying they were exploiting the rules.
Now Germany have a goal ruled out after a VAR review, and suddenly Arsenal are being mentioned again.
The two situations aren't the same.
Arsenal's set-pieces were worked on relentlessly on the training ground. They were legal, they were effective, and they played a huge part in Arsenal becoming Premier League champions.
Let's stop being hypocrites. When Arsenal score from a well-worked routine, it's called 'boring football.' When another team is on the wrong end of a VAR decision, Arsenal are somehow blamed for changing the game.
Enough of that.
Give Arsenal credit for what they achieved instead of using them as the benchmark every time football throws up another controversy.”
@Tripple____M He's not better than Gordon and he's in at the end of his contract so 60 million seems fair to me. It's still almost double our current record selling fee
@AFC_oddie@EduardoHagn@FabrizioRomano I'm pretty sure he played most of the season as a winger for villa and was pretty good. I quite like the idea of him and eze playing together and having the freedom to switch and move about during games.
@Philopearl_Afc Guys world class on his day. Big ego though which worries me. For his talent absolutely yes but his attitude I feel would stink up the place. Same reason I'd never want mbappe
We took the best team in the world to have to get a pen to score against us. We were absolutely epic all game. Proud of the boys for having the game of their lives. You could tell they wanted it so badly. It just wasn't meant to be
