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

[BenToffee79]

Bossed them for 30 mins , then a missed chance suddenly gives Sunderland all the momentum,Moyes just watched the next 55 mins and did nothing to alter it

 

[RomanReigns]

Sunderland had 10 penalty appeals

It was insane

 

[Ged G]

That's because those teams are absolutely pants

No, they were comparing us to others they'd seen in mid-table, not to their own teams.

 

[Bluerover]

People blaming Alcaraz but there was no pass on. Awful supporting run..

Go back and freeze it just after he first gets the ball. Pass on, simple square, and no question of offside.

Instead he held onto it too long and blew the opportunity.

 

[ObiWanIwobi]

Its the lack of anything once that 30 minutes is over, there's no adaptation of tactics, no subs, nothing just long punts to non effective strikers

I posted mid second half how Sunderland had played the conditions so much better than we had. We were not good after half time but they scored via a bad deflection from a liability of a centre half, aside from that they huffed and puffed without creating anything material and we had at least two break away opportunities that the players, not the manager, should have done much, much better with. Re: the ‘no adaptation’ point, did we spend the first 30-mins punting it long? No, I didn’t think so.

Nothing to do with confidence. Nobody has a clue what to do . There isnt any tactic apart from pumping a long ball upfront. Never seen a more crap team . Its back to the dark times of Lampard and Co.

I’m sorry but I would lose confidence in a manager who thinks bringing McNeil on is a good sub.

 

[Toffeepot]

If Moyes selects that same team on Saturday he may as well not come out of the tunnel.

It might be worse
Mcneil in for an injured Ndiaye

 

[witchdoc187]

Poor lad must be exhausted from moving a bit up and down the left touchline once a week

You tried to b play after 10 pints?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

You mean apart from being consistently better than KDH ?

Absolute nonsense.

How do you explain playing KDH every single game?

McNeil sub?
Gana bulletproof

Moyes is trying to get fired or what?

KDH was good in the first half. In the second he had a few decent moments, but consistently failed to get the weight of his passes correct.

But Alcaraz is completely overrated by some on here. There is a reason he was available on such generous terms.

 

[Kraken]

Awful, amateur, woeful and disgustingly bad.

A team of no hopers with no fight, no skill, no desire, no composure, no movement and no game plan. It’s as if they have never even met each other before.

That was like watching 11 slugs eat lettuce … and moyes answer was McNeil , the king slug!

If the manager and players can’t be bothered to turn up and play football, why should the fans turn up to watch them?

Not a single player deserves motm and a score higher than 3.

The last time I felt this repulsed by the team was the last game with Dyche.

I want changes ….. in the first 11, the formation and the tactics, because that was shocking in every way!

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Beto done nothing.

What's that in response to?

 

[ah11984]

Are we absolutely sure we won’t get dragged into a relegation battle….

So so many weaknesses in this team. Losing Ndiaye to the AFCON removes a massive portion of our attacking threat.

 

[CielosGrises]

Gut feeling was a draw.

Somehow the club has managed to make the team less effective than last season though - would be ironic if we actually finished lower in the league.

Its a weird mix to watch, lovely skill from NDiaye and Grealish at times but less assured by pretty much everybody else.

Barry got a bit more involved - poor miss obviously.

 

[MACCA75]

A disappointing result really. But I think we’re resigned to a really boring season. No chance of flirting with relegation, but it would be optimistic (but not impossible mind you) to see us push for the higher European places. What I wouldn’t have given for a boring season after the last few we’ve had. But somehow, boring doesn’t seem much fun.

You think we look like a European side? Wow.

 

[Tony1985]

McNeil getting pelters, in his defence, he is a one footed left winger. To bring him on as a right winger and expecting him to change the game is ridiculous.
