People saying "without Rooney" - do they think that means we would have had 10 men if he wasn't playing? lol

We'd have had an actual player with the ability to run and move effectively on the field. Without him we'd have been higher than Burnley imo.

As Rooney most likely will leave Everton soon, here is a reminder of the difference that he had made for Everton this past season.

With his goals, Rooney has contributed 7 points difference to Everton in these matches:

Stoke : 1-0 (2 points)
City : 1-1 (1 point)
Brighton : 1-1 (1 point)
Liverpool : 1-1 (1 point)
Newcastle : 1-0 (2 points)

Everton finished 8th in the table with 49 points, without the 7 points and his other goals, Everton would be 13th in the table, with the same points as West Ham but worse goal difference.

Most fans agree that Everton played/would play better without Rooney. These are the 11 matches in the past season that Everton started without Rooney:

Burnley : 0-1, 1-2
Crystal Palace : 2-2
Southampton : 1-4, 1-1
Chelsea : 0-0
WBA : 0-0, 1-1
Bournemouth : 1-2
Arsenal : 1-5
West Ham : 1-3

Without Rooney slowing the attack and his horrible passes however, Everton only got 5 points from the 11 matches, with 6 losses, 5 draws, 9 goals scored and 21 goals conceded.

The influence of a player might be felt when he's gone, his replacement needs to be a quality player who doesn't have to adapt to the league for another season, someone like Mahrez maybe?

What about games like Bournemouth and Watford at home when we were getting beat and looking dreadful until we subbed him and went on to win?
 

I'll be interested to see what he looks like after a few years on the American diet.

Think he'd give razor ruddock a run (waddle) for his money.
 
Everton didn't win a single game without Rooney starting.

Let's look at his united speed test in 2014 he was the fastest player in a team full of speed demons with a top speed of 35 km/h

Do you really think he's slowed down so much in just 4 years? Look at Robben still going strong.

It's really down to the manager if he wants Rooney to run around the pitch winning the ball back and surging forward he will.

If he doesn't then you won't see his trademark pace , power and intensity.

Just look at Rooney's first goal for us at Stoke under Koeman the pace and positioning needed for it.

Just give him a chance under a new attacking manager who knows how to play football like Rooney is used to. Don't write him off because of bad form in Christmas which Allardyce was 100% responsible for with his hoof ball tactics
