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

Agree on Dibling. This is the season for him to try and fail and try again. After hoiking him at half time, I’d expect a reaction today. Hoiking then benching just doesn’t seem particularly motivational, unless he reacts poorly to being criticised.

Has he played in front of a bona fide RB yet?

 

[jazzy]

Moyes is on borrowed time with his continued selections of favourites and failure to integrate new signings

 

[brooklyn blue]

Picking Mcneil just to piss everyone off

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Crap.

Can’t wait for the subs.

 

[MikeH72]

McNeil *holds nose*

 

[matty1878]

I love your optimism

COYB!

 

[Efcjake]

Good team that. Interested to see how Armstrong does.

Dibling, Beto and Rohl to mix it up if required.

COYB.

That's not a top half side.

Hoping Keane gets snapped in the first 5

Only way he will make changes

 

[Moomin]

At least we won't have the ignominy of becoming the first team to lose against them this season.

We were the first Premier League to do that in the League Cup.

 

[PercyPlant]

He's a RB and JOB isn't.

JOB is is best fit CH.

It's a toss up between Tarky and Keane who partners him.

Have you no concerns that 4 Everton managers have watched Patterson in training (6 if you include international managers) and none of them have fancied him?

 

[blueconverse]

If this goes wrong he's gonna get dogs abuse in the ground and he completely deserves it.

 

[Eggs]

Setting it up for a fall against a team that's got 6 points all season and we're at home?

Yeah, what an impossible to please devil I am.

….lost narrowly over the park, drew at United and slammed West Ham recently. Hopefully we are simply better than these but they have beaten us once this season and no games are easy at this level.

 

[T LEAFE]

That's not a top half side.

Maybe of league 1

 

[Efcjake]

wow - let’s see if you geta abuse.

It came across as bait to me

100% agreed.

It’s baffling the way he’s treating him (and Aznou)

I’m not sure the modern player reacts well to ‘tough love’ anymore.

In the end, I’d think TFG will be asking questions of their largest player investment thus far at some point…
