Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League after losing 4-0 on aggregate to PSG. Rooney remains unconvinced by the desire shown by the Reds' squad under Slot, and feels the encounter with the Toffees has arrived at an inopportune moment 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 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. When you meet maybe a team mid-table after a defeat like this, I think it's so much harder."Of course you still need to do it, but mentally it was easier.

I don't know about you, are you saying that you weren't motivated?"Rooney replied: "I was very motivated, but I'm saying I think some of these players aren't." The Manchester United legend's claim should ring alarm bells for the club's owners Fenway Sports Group as they face another summer of mass change, potentially including a change of manager.Speaking after the loss to PSG, Slot was questioned whether Liverpool could now only concentrate on securing fifth position in the Premier League. As I said many times the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer."
