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

[Brett Angell Delight]

Barry’s body shape going into that miss was mad. He’s leaning back the whole way in, looks like Mr Soft FFS.

On the bright side I guess that can be worked on, but the worry is that a human being would approach it that way in the first place.

 

[Marius57]

He should come off - who would replace him?

I’m not suggesting he comes off. Just pointing out the two sides to his game on days like today.

I’d be taking KDH off personally for Alcaraz.

 

[Titus Shambles]

Decent striker and we'd be top 6

As says the fanbase of about half the teams in the Premier League every week...

 

[Bilbo]

Sadly he's a liability on a yellow card.

I know it will affect his confidence but Moyes had to take him off at HT

But a change exascerbates thes the problem - we keep switching strikers instead of trying to let him repair the damage...

 

[Eggs]

Could that first half performance be more Everton if we tried? In the first 20 mins we take the lead, hit the woodwork, miss multiple chances including an absolute sitter to give ourselves some breathing space, and then spend the rest of the half crapping our pants and hanging on for dear life. Quite laughable really.

….its the difference between us truly progressing; an effective central striker.

 

[BigBeto1]

Would absolutely love Barry to get a goal here, otherwise that miss will haunt him, keep your chin up brother

Wouldn’t be surprised if Moyes rags him off at half time after the idiotic yellow

 

[MikeyMike]

I’d hook Barry. Another stupid, stupid yellow, and he looks well capable of picking up a second yellow. As for that miss…

 

[Vaughan]

Why do we have to have Grealish on the left, Iliman on the right and those two donkeys fighting for the striker role.

Like, you can see a brilliant team in us, it's so close yet so far.

we essentially have two of the best wingers in the league, and the two worst strikers

 

[Davideeyore]

why aren’t some of you slagging moyes
for barry missing his chance?

Yeah he picked him. Moyes FFS

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

9 appearances for Barry this season and not one shot on target.

 

[matty1878]

I meant 35 minutes not 45

now aye no editing!

On Iliman Ndiaye:

He's an absolutely fabulous player. He's brilliant. I watched him a couple of weeks ago against Man City, it looked like a Man City player was playing for Everton - that's the best way I can describe him.

This guy is Everton's best player, and he was Everton's best player last season by a long way.

We run the risk of playing with 10 if he stays on.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

We caused ourselves a lot of problems inviting them into the game last 15 minutes. They looked bereft of confidence after our goal and we let them get it all back.

Keane, Ndiaye and Garner looking good. Gana and Barry look ready for changing at the break if anything.

Not a bad half but mostly because Sunderland look like coming apart at the seams.

Need a big performance in midfield to win this. Step up and keep the ball.

That’s the annoying thing, after we scored Grealish hit the post and Barry missed from 2 yards, either of them go in and we are cruising

 

[Portoman]

True but maybe the yellow forces the decision?
