🚨 Wayne Rooney on Declan Rice's set-pieces that inspired England's 4-2 victory:
🗣️ “For the whole of last season, people mocked Arsenal's set-pieces. They called them boring, said they were ruining football and claimed they could never win the biggest trophies playing that way.
Now look at England.
Declan Rice is delivering those same quality dead balls and they've played a huge part in a 4-2 win.
I've watched this World Cup closely and one thing stands out: Arsenal players have consistently produced dangerous set-pieces, with several leading directly to goals.
Maybe the issue was never the set-pieces.
Maybe people were simply frustrated because their own teams didn't have players capable of executing them at that level.
Football fans love effective set-pieces when they're winning games. They only complain when someone else is better at them.”

🤷♂️ "If Arsenal opened the game up and went toe-to-toe, they'd have got beaten 3-0!"
🙏 "We've seen Arteta play expansive football... he decided this was the best way to win!"
Simon Jordan hits back at people criticising Mikel Arteta for #AFC's defensive tactics vs PSG! 😡
Steven Gerrard: “I look across the Arsenal squad, I don’t see much ego. I see a young hungry manager. You can’t let this setback take anything away from becoming Premier League champions. They deserve a lot of plaudits.” ❤️👏
@MrPukkaUK@EddyOf9jaAFC@BBCMOTD But he's been available, yet wasn't deemed good enough to play ahead of Doku, Cherki and Pep had to buy Semenyo in January too.
It is my understanding, there is a seriously confident expectation now for a decision on the Man City 115 case to be delivered in the coming weeks ( sometime in the summer latest )
All Premier League clubs await official communication.
