Liverpool: Wayne Rooney takes a swipe at Arne Slot

Arne Slot's season at Liverpool is taking a tricky turn. Far from the ambitions set at the start of the campaign, the Reds are struggling to keep pace in the Premier League and have fallen behind in the race for the top. This situation is starting to provoke strong criticism, including from some of English football's biggest names.

Rooney targets Slot

Wayne Rooney didn't mince his words about the Dutch manager:

The former Manchester United striker does acknowledge, however, the weight of the legacy left by Jürgen Klopp, admitting that stepping into his shoes would be "a challenge for any coach."

Rooney also points to a squad struggling for direction, mentioning the dip in form from key players like Salah and Van Dijk, as well as the impact of certain departures and injuries. It's a volatile environment for Slot, who is already under pressure.
