Rooney Reacts: Liverpool-Man City DRAMA & Romero sent off AGAIN!

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Wayne Rooney is back alongside Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd to react to the incredible late drama in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Liverpool, with Wayne giving his verdict on the controversial disallowed goal, while Kae explains why he believes the decision was “anti-football”. BBC Football Issues Correspondent Dale Johnson joins the show to clarify exactly why the referee ruled the goal out and why City’s match-winning penalty was awarded. They also assess what the result means for the Premier League title race, and whether Arsenal might now be starting to feel the pressure. Wayne also questions what the defeat could mean for Liverpool's season and the added pressure on Arne Slot. Following Cristian Romero’s latest red card: is he the right man to lead the side? Wayne explains why he feels sympathy for Thomas Frank too. And Wayne and Kae discuss whether Michael Carrick is edging closer to becoming permanent head coach, with Wayne revealing why he’s deliberately avoiding talking football when he speaks to Carrick on the phone right now. You can watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube, iPlayer, as well as listen on BBC Sounds.
