Match Thread Everton 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 19:30 Weds 7th January 2026.

[Saint Domingo]

Can’t really understand how a lad who would have been on loan if KDH wasn’t injured is starting ahead of Rohl who was a player brought in ahead of him in the squad.

 

[Bluewater]

This will not be an easy game.

 

[st.domingo]

I’d have put Garner at right back, JOB CB instead of Keane, Rohl Iroegbunam Armstrong behind Grealish Barry Dibling

same apart from swap Garner and Röhl

 

[Swagger]

1-1 incoming

Believe it or not, I really try not to slate Moyes on here, despite the fact I am not a fan. But that is a shameful selection, and it should not be forgotten even if we get something today.

It is the coward's choice. Keane was woeful, absolutely woeful in the last game, and barely fit, but we'll keep him in because he contributed so much last time. We will put the only CB that has some recovery pace at RB again even though he gives absolutely nothing going forward.

And the biggest one of all is McNeil. I don't think I have ever seen an Everton player offer so little and yet get consistently picked as McNeil this season. He offers nothing going forward and kills us with his one-footedness and lack of pace to get forward or press. Dibling was poor last game but McNeil was worse, but yeah, let’s drop the talented young lad. I also saw an article today basically saying that Moyes hasn't spoken to Dibling about what the issues were.

He is abysmal at managing young players.

I think wolves in the cup game kept creating chances because our high line could not recover without pace, and yet.......

 

[Joey66]

What a selection, never change a losing team hey Moysie..

Formation looks iffy but COYB ....

 

[Syrup]

Hopefully Armstrong starting means he’s finally learnt to play a 3 in midfield

That's a great point. Shows how scattergun the recruitment was. Same with McNeil over Dibling.

It is a weird one that.

Perhaps the loan spell has made then realise hes better than they thought?

Or Rohl isn't considered fit enough.

 

[ObiWanIwobi]

He's literally starting Armstrong

And we’re 3 points off 5th. How on earth is he on borrowed time?! TFG have form for blowing up failing situations. You don’t have to like Moyes or his style, but currently he is far from failing.

Too easy to draw the correlation, but I dare say WHU’s failings at the moment are strengthening Moyes’ position with The Board.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I'd go

Pickford

Patterson - JOB - Tarkowski - Myko

Garner - Armstrong - Rohl

Dibling - Barry - Grealish

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Absolute slam dunk game against the bottom team who ARE relegated already in effect.

4-0.

Thinking like that sees us get beat

 

[matty1878]

….sorry, I thought you posted 4-0. That’s the bit where you’re setting it up for post-match criticism. It’s easy to see.

it’s shameful -hope we can win

so we can not have him banging every thread about moyes

 

[Moomin]

Why doesn't Moyes realise we conceded 4 goals on Sunday because Patto wasn't playing to offer balance.

Must be saving Nate the Great for the FA cup game.
