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

The term "must-win" is over used and not really applicable here, but anything other than a win in the context of everything would be a serious setback following Sundays result and performance.

It's one of those games where only the result matters though a good performance would needless to say be welcome.

Two home defeats on the bounce against opposition we would have high hopes of beating would be a big blow and all momentum lost early in January. It's a big game for Moyes.

Unreal that people are concerned about a team like this. I know Moyes lost against them in the cup but there's no way at home with a strong team out and coming off that horror show on Sunday this ends with anything other than a high scoring win.

And Patto to net a hat trick

what if one centre backs performance is directly affected by who he’s paired with (a long established principle).

So when is it his fault? Like what level of individual error rises to not Keane’s fault? Does he have to scoop the ball up with his hands for no reason? Get confused and shoot it into his own goal and start celebrating?

Or maybe we just do the normal thing and blame the individual when he’s constantly not up for it. The real answer here anyway is that his legs are even more gone than they were 6 months ago and he’s struggling more and more with the pace every passing month. Which is why you don’t give 33 year olds new contracts.

Like the high scoring wins Liverpool United and Arsenal got against them at home?

People seem to forget, that we only just beat them in the league when they were awful. Then they beat us in the cup when they were awful. Now they're improving and we're not exactly pulling up any trees. I hope I'm wrong but I'm a little bit concerned about this one. UTFT.

by game no europe shouts

A lot is very dependant on DMs team selection & formation tonight - this Wolves team are picking up a bit , but we should beat them depending on team selection & formation - we look 2 yards slower than Brentford on Sunday ...... Grealish looks better as a no 10 too too predictable stuck out wide on the left we need a midfield trio too ....

Same team as Brentford. Play it again Moyesie. A show of faith.

Love to see Armstrong play and JoB not a RB.

I’d be surprised to even get one of those wishes though.

i think he will and make the players actually turn up!

 

[TyphooToffee]

I knew Wolves were bad but looking over the stats of just how bad - statistically the weakest team in Premier League history.

I've been so confident of win tonight, that the over confidence has made me start to doubt that confidence and now my confidence is waning.

I'm not expecting Wolves to be a pushover as they're improving all the time under Rob Edwards

 

[Curtis]

I'm surprised no lineup rumors have circulated yet?

And Patto to net a hat trick

I've never heard of him.

 

[b-rad]

I've never heard of him.

If only…

WTF are you lining up excuses for Moyes for here?

This is a slam dunk.

If he plays JOB at right back again I'll go full on Violet Elizabeth!
