“Rooney said on The Wayne Rooney Show. ””He’s played for Palace this season, he’s fit. He’s probably on a high after signing for the club he was at when he was a boy.
“If they were just a little bit braver and went and actually took the game a bit more to Liverpool, I think they can go and win that, so I think that’s a real chance missed for Arsenal today.
