Rooney blasts ‘bulls**t’ Allardyce after early sub against Liverpool

Wayne Rooney was seen furious with coach Sam Allardyce after being substituted early in Everton’s draw with Liverpool.

The former England international struggled to perform for Everton in central midfield and Allardyce decided to replace him with Gueye after just 57 minutes.

And Wayne Rooney made his unhappiness clear as he walked towards the dugout.




Sam Allardyce had his hand outstretched towards former United player but he continued to walk straight to the bench.

Television cameras caught Rooney saying ‘bulls**t’ shortly after he sat on Everton’s bench.

Everton still remain ninth in the table after the draw at Goodison Park, although they had opportunities to win the game.

After the game, Allardyce’s response to Rooney’s snub was that: “He can say whatever he wants to me in the office but it has to be done between the four walls of the office between me and him,” the Everton manager said.




“He’s an Evertonian through and through and he’s been brought off in a derby game. I’d expect a reaction because that’s how much he cares. That’s fine by me. I wouldn’t expect him to smile and say, ‘All right gaffer, well done’.

“The three substitutions, no matter how disappointed anyone is when they are substituted, made a big impact and almost helped us win the game. I understand the ones who get brought off are disappointed but I made those decisions for the benefit of the team and they benefited the team today. Nobody is too big to be hooked.”
