In his personal podcast, Rooney commented on the situation, stating that the team's poor performance has come as a surprise, and they are struggling to find a solution.

He emphasized that it is a critical time for the manager and the team leaders to address the issue, as the team's performance is heavily impacted by their body language and leadership.

Rooney pointed out that Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, who have recently signed new contracts, are not displaying the expected leadership, which he believes affects the rest of the team.

According to Rooney, the team's body language is a key indicator of their performance, and if the top players are not demonstrating the right attitude, it can have a ripple effect on the entire team.

Rooney acknowledged that he might be mistaken, but as an observer, he would be concerned about the team's leadership if he were a Liverpool fan or the manager.
