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

Lots of talk on here about putting Ndiaye up front. Seems absolutely foolish to me to move our best player to a position that is not his natural one. Even given the lackluster strikers we have got

 

[Barrowjohn]

That is a goal of the season contender. Look where he gets the ball, 10 touches through the Sunderland defence and places a beautiful strike into the net. Won’t see a better individually worked EFC goal all season. Magic.

Got to get Dewsbury Hall out of there, he's so ineffective as a 10. Get Alcaraz on at half time and Rohl.

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

That depends on who though, we could just end up with another to add to a long list

Surely we have to get one right sooner or later!

 

[RomanReigns]

Barry feels like he’s playing with lag

Just seems to be too slow to react to things

 

[ToffeeScot]

Keep Barry on please. He needs to play out his rust. It doesn't do any good to keep chopping and changing them. Let him start the half and see if he can do what he was doing well in the first half.

 

[matty1878]

Yeah he picked him. Moyes FFS

you are taking the proverbial aren’t you.

 

[larbert toffee]

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

Because you've been telling us to be positive, he's a brilliant striker......

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Very good for the most part,signs though Sunderland are coming to life,the Evertonian in me tells me we will regret that Barry miss though

 

[D. Amokachi]

Sadly I do fancy Sunderland to equalize. All of Everton’s best spells of that half were from pouncing on cheap giveaways and those started drying up after about 25 minutes.

Yep it seems inevitable. When did we last keep a clean sheet?

 

[Clarky cat]

Commence operation “plop striker switcheroo”

 

[matty1878]

Keep Barry on please. He needs to play out his rust. It doesn't do any good to keep chopping and changing them. Let him start the half and see if he can do what he was doing well in the first half.

"they were playing Man City a couple of weeks ago and it looked like Everton had a City player playing for them".

Carragher's comments on Ndaiye, the ocean going bellend.

It’s Everton mate. We can’t have us getting any headlines unless it’s negative.

 

[PhilM]

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

Spot on! Whether we like it or not, unless we're going to put a false number 9 in the side, we need to start trusting in one of them to build consistency.

Over and over again, swapping Beto for Barry, or vice versa, is helping neither. I genuinely thought he had played relatively well until the miss.
