The Wayne Rooney era in Goodison Park starts with a bang



This campaign the Toffees Boss and his directives have something in common, win it all and at no costs, as the way this club built during the course of the summer and making an impact in the market.

I mean an all-around bargain for the Blues with the arrival of a former alumnus coming back home and start a new chapter of his successful campaign, where he has won it all and now he wants to deliver with new challenges.

Very well, bring some titles to these parts of Merseyside.

As the English Premier League start with several fronts, among one of them caught the attention of many when Wayne Rooney return to Goodison Park and making his long awaited start with his former club.

The former Red Devils star was not suit up with his traditional red attire but in blue in the team that formed him and later sold them to their cross the Merseyside rival’s Manchester United, where the man has won it all.

Now we have a new chapter in the colossus of Walton, Liverpool.

With a squad that always comes short in its quest to success and instead its finishes are meet with sheer disappointment at the end.

This time we may have a new Toffee squad that can fight for everything and maybe win it all with their new weapon can rally this team with the leadership that they lacked in the past.

As game day came and the Toffees were to face off Stoke City at home and a squad that can be a tough and difficult one when it gets its game going, as both managers Koeman and Hughes sending  a 3-4-2-1 formations.

With a much-fought match and physical at times, both teams netted 23 fouls and a yellow for each side, at the end Everton got the upper hand in the tale of the tape with a 61.7% possession that delivered the win.

After many tries, finally before the end of the first half and on added time on 45+1 the cross from Dominick Calvert- Lewin to a well-placed Rooney and this with a header beating the Potters keeper for the lone score and game winner.

At the end seeing how the Toffees defensive backfield headed by captain Phil Jagielka, Cuco Martina and Michael Keane step up and did a gem of a job of containing the Potters attack and giving keeper Jordan Pickford his first clean sheet.

Very well for Wayne Rooney showing off his skills and form here on, his job will be to deliver and silence his harshest of critics of him being a flop, which I doubt it and in this and many more outings to come.

So far, Rooney worked wonders with his new teammates; imagine if the Blues deal for Gylfy Sigurdsson comes through before the close of the transfers market.

No science here from this Everton squad and the campaign they will perform and deliver!
