Match Thread Sunderland 1-1 Everton - Monday 3rd November 2025

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Yes should be interesting to see if he provides any goal threat whatsoever , at least Beto gets into the positions when he effs things up and has shots or headers

Agree, I really can't see him doing much.
Opposition defenders must lick their lips when they see he's playing! Doesn't engage the centre backs whatsoever like beto does

 

[Leylo]

the negativity on here

is crippling me

i can’t be assed with it

laters

Were gonna win

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Was hoping for dibbling wide right, ndaiye up front and Alcarez through the middle instead of kdh. Was never going to happen though.

Think most of us hoped for that

What odds do you think you will get for 1st sub to be Beto for Barry between half time and 60 mins?

I hope I am wrong of course, but this clearly seems the only possibility for Moyes...

No Rohl, No Alcaraz, O'Brien still at RB, KDH in a number 10 role..... all sackable offences in my eyes. Joking clearly, but someone needs to give his head a wobble.

Hope that moyes will change it by using kdh in a 3 with garner sitting gana able tp push forward aswell. Think it would help get the best of the mid more with that

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

This line up is one of those examples of why I personally don't like Moyes as our manager. I can live with a manager being uninventive and slow with team selections (even if it wouldn’t be the way I would like our manager to be), but Moyes is one of those managers that acts like poor players/players in bad form are absolutely untouchable. It drives me mad.

He has, however, always had games where he just seems to get away with it - like against Palace. Let's hope this is one of them .

I feel like if he is proactive with subs if it’s not working and gets Alcaraz and Röhl on ASAP, we might get something. But what usually happens is the opposition, who are already in front/on top, make subs to strengthen their hand further before Moyes has even made one.

 

[Preki]

Alcaraz is the change I would have made
He must think he's crap in training or something

 

[witchdoc187]

According to talk sport Everton are the only team not to score against wolves this season

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I just don’t think we’re playing nearly well enough to not make substantive changes looking for improvement.

Ah, the old 'we are playing badly, lets stick with it' train of thought

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

What is Moyes seeing that the rest of us fail to see. He seems to think everything is ok, he just needs the Beto/Barry merry go round.

He was like this when he rocked up 23 years ago. Though he has changed some things, that is one thing he certainly has not.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

KDH should NOT be starting.

Scores the winner

Well at least Alcaraz and Beto should come on together in the 85th minute

 

[WilliamBoo]

Surprisingly, we all agree that Moyes is doing things wrong.
Even those who praised him before

 

[efcste97]

Why? Last time he started he stank out the place, he works best off the bench imo

He was played out wide. Honestly, if Alcaraz isn’t going to be used in his natural position, then don’t play him.

I was bemused as to why he only got 5 minutes from the bench vs Spurs though, he should've been on much earlier.

 

[Toffeeforme]

He's not got any good options up front. Been let down badly by whoever sanctioned Barry as a ready meal and the new left back and Dibling at that price.

 

[pedro789]

I just feel like it'll play out same way as recent games.

Start slowly, go one/two down.
Take off striker at ht/60 mins.
Get a bit better, but not enough to get win.
Post match talk them up 'they're a really good side, who surprised a lot of teams since they came back into PL'
Hope I'm wrong, but seen this movie too many times.
