ROO’S WATCHING GRIEF

- BY DAVID MADDOCK

WAYNE ROONEY has confessed he was embarrasse­d to witness Everton’s first-half display at Arsenal on Saturday.

The Blues skipper marched into the dressing room at the interval to lambast his teammates for a display that left boss Sam Allardyce lamenting “every player was c**p”.

Rooney (above) watched from the bench, head in hands, as Arsenal cruised towards a 5-1 win. He revealed: “It was 4-0 then and easy, sloppy goals given away. “I said at half-time to the lads that I was embarrasse­d sat on the bench because the performanc­e was not good enough for what we want and how we know we can play. We had to show some pride.

“Managers pay the ultimate price and get sacked – but as players we have to take responsibi­lity.”
