WAYNE Rooney menunjukkan jarinya pada Manchester United atas ´kecerobohan´ barisan pertahanan sehingga kalah telak 4-1 dari Manchester City di markasnya.
The Red Devils benar-benar kalah setelah dipimpin David Moyes dalam laga derby pertamanya, dan Rooney, yang mencetak satu gol cantik melalui tendangan bebas, menyesalkan kelemahan barisan pertahanan timnya sehingga mudah ditembus oleh skuad City, seperti dilansir metro.co.uk.
Dia mengatakan kepada MUTV: "Ini kabar buruk setelah kalah dari City dengan skor 4 - 1. Kalah dengan skor berapapun tetap saja buruk, jadi kita semua benar-benar kecewa."
"Cara kami kebobolan gol, satu gol sebelum babak pertama berakhir dan dua gol berikutnya, sangat mengecewakan. Kami tahu kami harus memperbaiki itu, berhenti bertindak ceroboh di pertahanan dan permainan mesti ditingkatkan."
City memimpin laga melalui gol Sergio Aguero di menit ke-16, tapi itu gol Yaya Toure sebelum turun minum sangat mengejutkan dan menurunkan moril para pemain United.
Rooney menambahkan: "Ini adalah pukulan [kedua City] tapi kami masih pikir kami bisa kembali dalam permainan. Kami sudah berkali-kali jatuh dan bangkit kembali dan keluar di babak kedua untuk mendapatkan gol pertama. Ketika kami kebobolan dua gol begitu cepat itulah yang membuat moril kami jatuh."
"Kami tahu pada skor 4-0 bahwa jelas sulit untuk menyamakan kedudukan tapi kami harus terus berjuang dan menekan, mencoba untuk membuat permainan untuk menunjukkan para fans, dan diri kita sendiri, kebanggaan sebagai pemain seperti itu tidak pernah pantas untuk kalah.
"Saya pikir selama 20 menit terakhir kami bermain cukup baik. Kita telah melakukan itu sebelumnya mungkin ada hasil yang berbeda, tapi terlambat untuk membalikkan keadaan."
WAYNE Rooney pointed the finger at Manchester United’s ‘sloppy’ defence in the aftermath of the 4-1 humbling at Manchester City.
The Red Devils were completely outclassed in David Moyes’ first Manchester derby, and Rooney, who got the visitors’ only goal of the game with a superb late free-kick, has lamented the ease in which City cut through United’s rearguard.
He told MUTV: ‘It’s not nice to lose to City by four goals to one. To lose by any score is bad, so we’re all really disappointed.
‘The way we conceded the goals, one just before half-time and two straight after, is not good enough. We know we have to improve on that, to stop giving these sloppy goals away and capitalise on some of our good play.’
City took the lead through Sergio Aguero after 16 minutes, but it was Yaya Toure’s strike just before the break that took the wind out of United’s sails.
Rooney added: ‘It was a blow [City´s second] but we still thought we could get back in the game. We’ve been two down many times before and we came out at half-time ready to get the first goal and that would have been game on. The way in which we conceded two goals so quickly killed the game.
‘We knew at 4-0 that we obviously weren’t getting back into the game but we had to keep fighting and pressing, trying to make a game of it to show the fans, and ourselves, the pride we have as footballers as it’s never nice to lose.
‘I thought during the last 20 minutes we played some good stuff. Had we done that earlier there might have been a different outcome, but it was too little too late.’
