Rodwell eyes derby revival
Jack Rodwell is confident Everton can recover from their defeat at Manchester City in the Merseyside derby on Saturday. [LNB] The Toffees were seen off 2-0 by City at the Ethiad Stadium last weekend, allowing fierce local rivals Liverpool to leapfrog them in the Premier League standings after they beat Wolves. [LNB]But 20-year-old midfielder Rodwell was encouraged by Everton's display against Roberto Mancini's star-studded side and is adamant they can bounce back when they entertain the Reds at Goodison Park. [LNB]"We have made a decent start and got some good victories under our belts," Rodwell told the Daily Mirror. [LNB]"So we won't get too down about City and will focus now on Liverpool. [LNB]"We had a Carling Cup match the previous week, which went to extra time, so that was a hard workout.[LNB]"Man City was again another hard workout - but we will have a rest, get into a good week's training and bounce back for the derby. [LNB]"City have bought some very good players but we feel we have a strong squad as well. [LNB]"We tried to match them on the day, but it wasn't to be. Now we move on to Liverpool."
