SportFootballLiverpool FCFormer Manchester United and Everton forward Wayne Rooney has questioned the mentality of some of Liverpool's stars following their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions LeagueWayne Rooney has questioned the motivation of some of Arne Slot's Liverpool players following the club's exit from the Champions League. Rooney is unconvinced by the motivation of the Reds' players under Slot, and believes the clash with the Toffees has come at the wrong time for the club.“You need players who want to fight, and we’ve seen this Liverpool team all season not give as much as they can, I believe," Rooney said.

“I would disagree," he said."I think when we had moments of excellence as well in the Champions League, and you had a big team, a big game after, it would be so much easier to at least be emotionally involved in the right way. I don’t know about you, are you saying that you weren’t motivated?”"I was very motivated, but I’m saying I think some of these players aren’t," Rooney retorted.Speaking following the defeat to PSG, Slot was asked if Liverpool could now only focus are securing fifth place in the Premier League.

The club has sold 8-10 players to make money to sign five or so very talented players."We have to sell to buy. As I said many times the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer."Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCWayne RooneyArne Slot
