Next weekend, Leeds will face off against Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth team at Elland Road. Rooney expressed frustration ahead of Plymouth Argyle’s match against Leeds United following their six-goal thriller against Preston North End.
Despite securing a point in a 3-3 draw against Preston, Plymouth found themselves in a precarious position just above the Championship relegation zone. Rooney criticized his team’s first-half performance after falling behind 3-0, emphasizing the need for improvement before facing Leeds.
In an interview with the club’s website, Rooney stated, “I’m very disappointed and angry with that performance. We are capable of better. We showed fighting spirit to come back, but the overall performance was not up to our standards.”
He continued, “We seemed disoriented on the field, making mistakes and conceding easy goals. I refuse to accept such a lackluster performance. It’s positive that we managed to salvage a point, but we need to do better moving forward.”
