The Wayne Rooney Show – Rooney Reaction: Dowman breakthrough and Anthony Gordon debate

Available for over a year

Wayne reflects on Max Doman’s remarkable moment for Arsenal and explains why those first moments can stick with a player forever. He also discusses how to support young players, balancing the hype surrounding them with the need to protect their development based on his own experiences as a 16-year-old. Wayne also addresses the debate around Anthony Gordon’s post-match comments after Chelsea and the role that sports science now plays in team selection, showing how different the approach would have been to the one he would have taken earlier in his career under Sir Alex Ferguson. They talk about Bruno Fernandes’ impact and consistency during a difficult period for Manchester United and there is also praise for Liverpool youngster Rio Ngomoha, whose direct style and willingness to run at defenders caught the eye of Wayne. What does Wayne think of Arsenal’s position in the title race? Why does he think the race has not been completely decided yet?
