It could be ‘now or never’ for Arteta – Rooney

For Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Wayne Rooney believes it could be “now or never” and that he is “expected” to win silverware.

Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stunning free-kick to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead over Arsenal on Sunday.

When asked on The Wayne Rooney Show if he thought Arsenal might benefit from it now or never, Rooney responded, “Maybe not for Arsenal, but I think it might be for Arteta, possibly.

“I believe they allowed him to sign a lot of players and spend a lot of money,” he said. I imagine that he will have a chance to win the league, both on the board and in the fans. Therefore, I believe he might enjoy a significant year.

However, the former England and Manchester United player believes Liverpool will still be the favorite to win the Premier League this year.

“Liverpool are a very good team,” Rooney said. They have the experience and the know-how to have won the league twice in recent years. When you win games, it demonstrates a good team spirit.

Rooney continued, “Arsenal should have displayed more bravery at Anfield than they should have,” noting that he believed they should have won.”

I believe they could win that if they were just a little bit braver and went to Liverpool and actually won the game,” he said.

That’s a real chance, in my opinion, Arsenal have today. However, I believe Liverpool have done what the champions do: they have stayed in the game.

Rooney, who was born in Liverpool and started his career at Everton, said he “detested going to Anfield when he played for Manchester United because it was just awful to think he would lose the game.”

You’re probably thinking about how good the outcome will be if you win. You win, and the feeling you get is incredible, just like when we played Chelsea in the Champions League final. But he continued, “I just got to know that the thought of losing at Anfield emotionally hit me quite a lot.”

Rooney continued, “It’s always a good feeling to win against Liverpool.”

I was a Liverpool fan when I first met Everton. I then moved to United and disliked Liverpool. He claimed that losing to Liverpool was a “good feeling.”

In the]2008 Champions League final, I believe we could have won them. I was so happy it wasn’t Liverpool in the semi-final because it was Chelsea-Letterman. I believe that watching Liverpool win the Champions League final would have been too much.

Rooney recalls that Ferguson, the manager of Manchester United, had told him he wouldn’t play him at Goodison Park or Anfield.
