Love this new Rooney.
Fair play to him, he looks a damn sight better lately than he did earlier in the season.
Would love to see him break the record today.
Can't really stand him but credit where it's due, he's been excellent so far.
Helped by less game time as well probably. Use him sparingly and we might get a little out of him every now and again
Yea I'm sure that helps as well, good point.
Sounds about right. Agree. He looks so much fitter, quicker and stronger.
Credit where credit is due. It’s unbelievable how a player’s 1st touch varies so much depending on form. Of course self confidence is a factor in one’s play in general, but it’s quite rare that the touch, which is, based on my experience a pretty technical/physical skill, can go up and down that much.
More of this.
Mourinho holding him accountable has had a huge impact on his performance level.
very good half. Has been playing well for some time (at least since the swansea game) though
first time in years he looks like a player!
Some will pretend like this is his first good game but he's been very good for 3-5 games now. Been on a different level today though and some of the passing has been 
Hope he gets the record today.
Hope he gets the record today.Thought he was done, but he's looked good lately. He passes the eye test.
He's got a point to prove. Which is when he's at his best. Moyes/LVG indulged him and made repeated excuses for him, which led to him not giving a shit. His place under threat and what do you know, he gets himself in shape and starts playing.
I hope José continues this ruthless streak throughout the squad.

Can't remember the last time he played this well - passing and vision very good
Hope he has a few shots in second half

It's all the beard.
Never shave Rooney.

He's not been very good for 3-5. He's had bright moments in the last 5 games but up until the last two he's not had a consistent positive impact. He's been 7+ the last couple of games though.
This bearded Rooney I like.
I think some of the recent criticism of him has got to him a bit and put some fire in his belly that he has been missing for 2 years.

Fener home, Swansea away, Feyernood home and today he's been very good. In between those games, he got our only goal away at Fener and apparently played well when he came on vs Arsenal and West Ham. He's been amazing today but he's been quite clearly performing at a better level than almost all our forward players over the last 3-5 games which is why it was so baffling that he got dropped at the weekend.
The kick up his backside has really fired him up, fantastic to see.
First half, so far some superb stuff from him. I say it's the beard.
Looked alright so far but like the rest of the team, just faded as the game wore on!
Almost like watching young Rooney.
It's astonishing really, hes like a completely different player. I'l be the first to admit, i thought he was done for, but he has proved me and a lot of others here very wrong.
Really shows how awful Van Gaal managed him. No player, ever, should be untouchable
His passes have been immense.
Just all right? He and Mkhi were super this half.
Getting dropped was the best thing to happen to him. Excellent performance so far, shame Ibra's been woeful.
Well done Rooney!
This. It's not that he's been playing simple passes, he's been playing dangerous passes and they've all gone through. Was his ball that played a major part in the goal as well. Even the disguised pass to Zlatan towards the end was really good.
after three years he performs:-D glad for him, rooney like this is great to watch
Feck sakes he's finally looking like a footballer again and he gets himself suspended. Probably for the best though considering how shit he usually is at Goodison.
In the future we will refer to two eras. Pre beard and with beard Rooney. Welcome to the stubble chronicles.
Could be worse, I think Mata would've played anyway.
He actually looks like he is enjoying the football tonight. WHAT A SUPERB SIGHT as well.
First time in a long time I'm irritated we can't start him in the next match. He's playing really well lately, at his best tonight.
Captain Redbeard!!!
Rooney equalling or maybe even breaking the record at Goodison would have been great but looks like wasn't meant to be
Think Old Trafford would be the best place for that.
