Loads of Everton fans have been discussing some comments from Wayne Rooney, as the DC United star blamed Sam Allardyce for his decline at Everton.

Rooney had an excellent start to his second spell on Merseyside, scoring 11 times before the end of 2017.

The former Toffee completely lost his mojo in 2018 though, and a drop in form resulted in a change in position for the 32 year-old.

Allardyce moved the striker back into midfield, where he was able to use his technical quality and vision without having to worry about his lack of pace.

He didn’t score a single goal for Everton in 2018 though, and his latest comments suggest he believes he was hard done by.

“It became more apparent that the team would play better, move forward and win more games with me playing in midfield,” he said.

“Doing what I've done most of my career and putting the team first I went back into midfield but I believe if I'd stayed as a striker I probably would have reached the 20 goal mark and all of a sudden people would talk differently.

“I enjoyed my time there. I would obviously liked it to have lasted a bit longer and the club on their own made decisions which was a bit difficult to take.”

While he may feel unlucky to have been shipped off to the MLS he is certainly enjoying his time in a weaker league, grabbing ten goals and six assists in 18 appearances.
