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

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

Our next game against Sunderland feels like a valuable opportunity to re-gain some positivity, but it will not be an easy fixture against a Sunderland team who look set to survive this season having had a very impressive start.

I would make some changes to the starting XI and our set-up.

Pickford

Garner - O'Brien - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Gana Gueye - Dewsbury-Hall

Dibling - Alcaraz - Grealish

Ndiaye

 

[Saint Domingo]

Getting into must win territory or there’s going to be a lot of pressure on the manager and players

 

[RomanReigns]

Sunderland showing that 11 strangers can go straight into the first team and play good football

This time to gel nonsense that dinosaur managers spiel out about new signings every summer has been debunked

 

[bigmountainfudgecake]

Big game for Pickford - first time he's been back there

Fantasy football at its finest - might as well wave the wand and sneak Merlin in there while we're at it

 

[st.domingo]

Apparently their manager is a lovely fella and has a doctorate to boot, so woo get him - hopefully we can do a reverse of the usual time-for-Everton on them

Sunderland are defying expectations this season, but who is the manager behind their impressive Premier League start?

This will be as tough a game there is.

On a side note, another young Sunderland fan taken too early:

Tributes pour in for 'beautiful' footballer and huge SAFC fan who died of cancer

Tributes have poured in for a 'beautiful' nine-year-old footballer and fanatic fan.

There's a planned minutes applause, apparently

Aye there is, she was a lovely lass and thank you for posting that here. As for the game, could go either way this but be good to see Pickford back at the SOL finally.

Has to make changes for thos one, it's all gone very stale. Rohl and Alcaraz should be in contention to start.
Up front and the full backs are killing us, can't believe we're going another season with Mykolenko, O'Brien and Beto as first choice in those positions

 

[davids]

2-0 loss.

 

[SAFCInPeace]

Excited to see our Jordan back at the SOL.

Game could go either way, make you slight favourites and would take a draw today I think to keep the momentum.

 

[blue61]

He'll swap Barry for Beto and spend most of the game dithering until we're two down. He knows no other way.

He won’t though, will he?

That's my worry but this side needs a real shake up to keep everyone on their toes.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Good manager at Sunderland.
Got a feeling of a 2-2 result.
Hopefully we get a win .
