    Here's the preview package:

    Wayne Rooney will definitely start despite Moyes knowing he needs a rest. They need a good result to stay ahead of Blackburn and come close to assuring a spot in Europe.

    Just clearing up the living room after exploding when the winner went in. :)

    What a finish!! Fantatsic goal by Rooney, he's incredible isn't he. 3rd time he's won a game in the last minute or two.

    We looked so much better when Unswroth went off. Watson had a good game I thought but otherwise not a great performance but imperative win after Blackburns result.

    What a winner from Rooney! I think I'll save this tape to look back on during the summer when I'm craving a view of Rooney's genius. Throughout the whole game he showed his class. I also thought Naysmith, Hibbert, Stubbs, and Carsley had good games. Ferguson changed the game when he came on, but I will admit he was absolutely lucky the ref didn't spot that elbow. It would have been red. Now Everton have to hope the FA don't charge him with anything.

    Everton: Not doing things the easy way since 1878.

    Quite the match, though. It's great to be in a fight to the finish and not have relegation as the worst case scenario!

    I've got nothing but love for Friedel, but I wouldn't mind it in the least if he returned to his Liverpool form for a couple games (or at least Keller playing like he did vs. Brazil when Spurs host Rovers).

    I cant say enough about the grit of Stubbs. A knot on his head the size of a tennis ball and not sure where he was after the clash of heads and gets up to stay in the match, and remain tough blocking balls and heading crosses away. Typifies the grit of this blues team. I always wondered about him as he's not the most gifted defender out there but watching this devout Evertonian week in and week out you can see what Moyes loves about this guy.
    Also Hibbert looked as though he is getting back to form, making runs up the right and delivering accurate crosses. Good news for him and the blues.
    Rooney well everything has been said about him, brilliant. Fergie and Campbell well I just hope Rads is back for Fullum.

    Why is it that this team waits until the last minute to win games? There's been only one or two games I believe that they've won by more than a goal. They just love to keep us on the edge of our seats.

    As for the strikers, Rooney is obviously pure class. Same with Radz this season. Campbell, well . . ., he did score a goal, but in general, I think Ferguson is better, the few games he's healthy.

    i can't wait for radz to come back, admittedly. having said that, i thought both campbell and ferguson did well on saturday...

    and, yeah, we don't make it easy for ourselves do we? sometimes i think we need a goal against us to wake us up...

    The problem is we have a problem scoring more than 2 in a match. Thats the reason we are sitting on the edge of our seats. Thats a lot of pressure to put on a defence to hold a club to only one goal as if they dont the best we are looking at is a draw.
