Brilliant 1st half, not so good 2nd half.

In the second half he, Carrick and Fellaini just didn't have the legs for the battle.
However, that's for the manager to get right.
This time I'm going to raise Rooney because he was very good. Unlike the other two peformances where people were praising him for being acceptable or decent, he was genuinely good today.

Probably the only few on here who doesn't want to see him gone. I just hope he stays for the next season.
Brilliant tracking back, he still had that diligence to not give up despite not having the legs in the second half to do too much.
Good start but then faded out in the 2nd half
Great 1st half. Tired out in the 2nd.
He was good but he still had moments where he took so long on the ball where we kind of needed urgency.
Mature performance.
I thought he had a very good game but not sure what happened to our midfield in those 25 mins in the 2nd half when we got over-run.
He played really well today in a more withdrawn role. His touch and passing was spot on.
He could have done with having Morgan alongside him at the end. Understandably tired in the second but very good performance.
Completely disappeared when we were under the cosh. And that is exactly why he should never be played in midfield. Doesn't have the all round nous for it, like a proper midfielder should absolutely have
His touch was good, and he mostly chose the correct option. Can be a little easy to get past, but that's ok.
He's only back from injury.
He's been injured.....but showed more than Basti can offer in that match.
He was very good I thought. He tired in the second half because he isn't fully fit. If he can play like that constantly in midfield then he will be excellent for us. He is a leader on the pitch too and we need that.
This.
This is the 3rd game where he has excelled in the first half and completely tailed off in the second. Still needs to be moved on.
I agree he was tired and you will also see that I praised him after the first half. However, it's not the first time that he's disappeared in midfield when the team is under pressure. He should still be played in attack.
Good first half when Everton weren't playing. Once they stepped up I thought he wasn't looking that good. Had it been anyone other than Rooney, I reckon they'd have been substituted.
A typical captain's performance.
Faded a bit in the second but was still running his ass off and bringing the ball forward.

I thought he started off lively and then for some reason was switched to the deeper of the two #8's and had less impact on the game. He did make 2 or 3 very good tracking runs back there though.
nah....bring him into the midfield role...there is no way Rooney would have scored that Martial goal at his age...honestly.
Very pleasing first half, not good enough in the second. A club of our stature starting a midfield of a 500 year old carrack, fellaini and Rooney is ridiculous.
Give him a fecking break, Jesus. Some posters on here need to get a grip.
Almost like any player coming back from injury....
Thought he was one of our better players today. Him, Fellaini and Martial were our 3 best, after de gea.
What, I said he was very good in the first half, but he wasn't in the second. He was still better than the other two.
Very good first half, but was given all the time in the world like against Palace, second half Everton came at us and he was lost. We might as well not have had a midfield in thst second half. He and Carrick were anonymous.
Was excellent
And has been good since he returned. Was also good before his injury
I don't think the next manager will be as stupid as most of you lot and will still value him as an important player
His experience alongside the young lads will be vital as they progress

Surely we can give praise to the guy without running him down in the same post though. He's only back from injury so he was always going to fade away as the game went on.
Good game from Rooney. Not only on the ball, but made some pretty impressive block and tackles, especially the one in the first half.
Good game, a mature performance.
Good game, some nice balls behind the Everton defence in the first half.
All I want is for him to be stripped of his special privelidges. No player should be able to serve up that disgraceful trash he did in the first half of the season and still start by default. If he's playing well, I see no reason why he shouldn't play.
Also, I don't think we'll be going in with the kids next season. Unless our ambitions are low.
He faded badly in the second half. His stamina levels showed.
That's the key thing, he needs to be like everyone else and only play on merit, and we shouldn't be buying with an eye on it not effecting his starting spot.
BBC gave him MOTM 
He was anonymous in the second half.

Are you surprised? This is Wayne Rooney we are talking about. It's things like this that poisons any little good he does. Would they have given Mata or Herrera that rating with the same performance? I think not!
Was our 4th best player IMO. Even our twitter account nominated him ahead of Fellaini, who I believe should have been MOTMBBC gave him MOTM
Thought he was very good in the 1st half. 2nd half, not as good but we were largely shit as a team.
