Anthony Gordon has slammed Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer for their 'stupid' comments over his sub appearance against Barcelona 😬
The England international did not start for his side after being ill in the days prior, but was still well enough to make an impact off the bench. Shearer and Rooney were less than impressed 👀
Shearer said: 🗣️ “Maybe I’m old school but if you’re fit enough to train in the morning, and I know he doesn’t feel well, but this is Barcelona at Newcastle for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It would take something extraordinary to keep myself out of this game tonight.”
Rooney claimed: 🗣️ "He walked past us before the game and wouldn’t shake our hands. He said he didn’t want us to catch anything, but then he’s going into the dressing room with his teammates.”
Gordon didn’t mince his words as he shot down the accusations as untrue 😳
Gordon replied: 🗣️ “Seeing, I think it was (Wayne) Rooney, saying I walked past and didn’t shake their hands but then went in the changing room – I didn’t.
“I got changed by myself in a changing about the size of this (interview booth), it was just me and a sink.
Complete nonsense, I think they need to do better.”
