This is the best I have seen him play in a long time. The old Rooney we all loved.

Thats the best place, but scoring in front of your old team is just almost just as good especially as he has never played well for us at Everton
Yep. Stick one in the top corner, then get sent off for kicking Payet in the hole, he'll be a hero in here again. I've enjoyed him tonight.
Fired up Rooney > Rooney
Long live the beard.
He's probably a goal from 10/10 here. This game has been amazing from him.
Best place to break it at OT.
He's such an unselfish footballer. I love his improvement in form.

I mean the weight on his passes tonight. Majestic. Delighted for him.
2 great cup games in a row. Not enough to bench both Pogba and Mata yet, but it's great to have an in-form Rooney as an extra option.
Clearly on drugs
Been a joy to watch tonight, long may it continue
Really been very good tonight
With everyone available it's a choice between him and Martial for the left wing position and I think Rooney deserves to start on current form.
Great to see, as usual angry Rooney is the best Rooney.
The Rooney of old tonight. Loved to see it, hopefully more to come from him this season.
Or just drop Mata? Martial & Mkhi HAVE to start.
Mourinho's handling of him has certainly helped, he's knocked a bit of humility into him and his attitude has improved tenfold.
no, mata has been our best player this season
It's about putting out the best team. Rooney's the first name of the team sheet if tonight's performance wasn't a fluke.
Another very good performance from him.
He needs to keep the beard and get those gloves from 09/10 back on and he'll be putting Messi to shame.

@titleWow, he was breathing fire tonight, it was like watching the Rooney of old. Fought hard, looked sharp, loads of good involvements and yelled at the refs.
Maybe the old Rooney is back

He seems to give a shit about his football again. Different beast tonight.
What was it, the beard, the sun exclusive? Whatever it was, thank feck for it,
This is his best performances in years!
Love the angry Rooney.

I reckon it's all down to that cheeky pint or 7 he had at that wedding reception.
Showed what a genuinely talented and intelligent footballer he is capable of being tonight. Genuine world class performance. Long may it continue.
Of course helps when your playing in a functional attack with other top players.

Can I just say this man deserves so much praise. Written off by everyone since he was dropped but now showing not only does he still have what it takes but he really is a class act.
He's got that fire back about him and brimming with confidence.
Well played Wayne.

fluke is a strange word to use. Are you not a chelsea fan anyway?
Another great performance tonight. If he starts on Sunday it will be because he deserves it and not because his name is Wayne Rooney.
Mourinho currently in the stands scanning the local papers for weddings (shamelessly stole off twitter)
I thought he was our best player, but MKHI getting it is absolutely understandable.
Massive critic of his for the best part of 3 years. But the guy has played great recently. Looks fitter than he's done for some time.
Well he won't start on Sunday. Guaranteed.
Once he knew he was suspended, he got even better if that's even possible. That was absolutely the perfect game from him. Sharp incisive passes, just the right weight on the passes, super through balls all around, passion, anger, tackling. He was clearly desperate for a goal and it's gutting he didn't get it. What a peformance though!
He's been very good tonight, only lost his shit for a bit after we've conceded the goal but other than that overall he's done very well imo.
Rooney please don't shave! He might have to because of the cut.
He should be the motm today. He deserves, should and must start against everton.
He had the fire tonight that beard has changed him.
that beard has changed him.If he starts on Sunday it's because the FA have changed their rules.
