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

First 15 mins you were the best team we have played so far this season, at that point I thought you were going win by three or more. We were poor at that point but we started to win more ball in the middle and after that Xhaka took control and you seemed to run out of ideas going forward. Patto only had one save to make other than the good, but what a save.

Good luck for the rest of your season.

Your fans were very good in the Bradley applause

Enjoy your season. Great to see you back where you belong.

TFG surely won't let Moyes last til Xmas if this is all the can produce. Most of this entire forum can predict the subs and outcome of games. It's boring.

You think we’d be better with Alcaraz. I don’t. He looks too weak and indecisive, for me.

He's more of a goal threat which we desperately need in this team

 

[Zatara]

If they're his transfers why isnt he playing them

Hes got form for this.

 

[jazzy]

Moyes was right to hook Barry. First half he missed a sitter and picked up a ridiculously stupid yellow. Then, just before he got subbed, he failed to hold the ball up.

At that point the manager had seen enough. But it’s a massive problem of course. Neither of our strikers are anywhere near the level required in the PL.

Shouldn't have selected him in the first place.

Do something crazy Moyes like play Illy as a false 9.

Gana needs to be managed more, he's started to flag big time, he was never good on the ball but is getting worse....afcon coming up too, need to start getting replacements in now, rohl? Garner has not looked out of place at RB, drop KDH deeper, try a few things Davies, there are alternatives there

Everton goal was top top class.

Cheers lad. Thanks for the comments.. We were shocking second half and were lucky to get a point.

Then it seems like your bias for Moyes is clear.

Because that is madness.

Scored, hit the post, missed a sitter before half time. Conceded immediately second half. Could have snatched it at the end. I'm not in the Moyes out camp just yet

Its a conundrum with managers...we played well for thirty minutes...do we give the manager credit for that? If so, is he not responsible for the performance the last 60min as well? Or conversely was it individuals that performed well the first thirty and didnt show up after watching a CF miss yet another chance? I think ultimately the manager should get the plaudits when they play well and the vast majority of the blame when they dont...otherwise he is not effecting the game either way which makes him pretty useless

If youve ever played, coming on in the 84th minute when the team is playi g like crap and hoping to turn it around is one of the hardest things to do...just saying...hard to judge him on THAT

As a former pro, I totally agree with ya!

 

[Abraders]

Basically demanded to be put in charge of transfers and showed exactly why he shouldn’t have been.

Thelwell for all his faults actually had an idea of building a squad. Him buying Chermiti twice is subject to criticism but it's possible he was just helping us out lmao

 

[Ged G]

All in all, a good away point.
If Barry had scored that sitter, we would have coasted to a win.
Nothing new really, in a nutshell, we have no decent striker

 

[Rehnman]

So so frustrating. In the second half of last season we had a simple but effective style of play that made some simple players effective as a result. Moyes dismantled that over summer with his scattergun recruitment and replaced it with nothing - ‘give it to Grealish’ is not a style.

There are the makings of a really positive future at the club now, a core of players that can and will develop, but we’re currently wasting a year as a result of Moyes being given too much power at a crucial moment.

 

[Zatara]

Won't see Alcaraz for a while now probably because he had a poor 10mins , Dewsbury Hall was poor bar the 1st 15mins, the midfield got bullied 2nd half , Mcneil sub shocking , Alcaraz, Tim or Rohl should of been earlier, Mcneil before Dibling , what's the point

Looking at how crap KDH has been...

...maybe Alcaraz and McNeil thought that was the way to go?

Moyes may reward players for being crap.
