Barry Horne: Everton FC can bounce back with a bang against Manchester United

11 September 2010 01:00
IT'S back to the Premier League today - and I have to say, much as I enjoy competitive international football it's amazing how much I miss the self-styled 'Best League in the World' when it's not on.[LNB]This season has been the most bizarrely disjointed start.[LNB]And what a game to come back to.[LNB]The media attention will obviously be on Wayne Rooney more so than ever. He is guaranteed an 'interesting' reception.[LNB] But Everton fans should beware that Rooney, as he showed the other night in Basle, is the kind of player who relishes such attention and clearly has the strength of personality and the love of football to come through.[LNB]That rectangular piece of grass, with 39,000 people around the edges baying at him, will be a sanctuary.[LNB]Outsiders looking in would imagine Everton will go into the game lacking in confidence and feeling a little down at heel.[LNB]But having seen the three games the biggest thing for me is how much we have improved each time.
