Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Everton FC - Monday 3rd November 2025 - KO 20:00

Love nights games, buzzing for this one

 

Yeah I think we have 5 wingers and 4 of them are better on the left which isnt super helpful, I'm never 100% on isidor as a left winger but of course he can do it.

Would be scared about what we lose defensively in the premier league with him out there not for a lack of effort but positionally, keep him up top for me but its a tough one for Brobbey who will need a chance eventually.

 

Yeah, I agree on the wingers. Know he's not shown much, but is it worth giving Adingra a chance on the right in place of Traore?

 

I do think he's worse on the right but will probably end up getting a game out there at some point, would rather just Talbi back out on the right if it wasn't Traore.

 

Think Everton will play for the draw, which could cause us problems, but we are starting to become more and more incisive as these players get to know each other so I believe we will win and am gonna be confident in a 3-0 prediction with Hume on the scoresheet.

 

As the old saying goes ill show my arse in Joplings window if we dont win this. Second half i would like to see Brobbey come on and bully them i think thats when they will open up hopefully for a field day.

 

Everton are a club I quite like but desperate to beat these with Moyes there.

Shouldn't be forgotten he inherited a squad that had shown top 6 form for the last 4 months of the season before and he came in and just surrendered a relegation, focusing more on distancing himself from any blame.
Preferred signing Everton has beens and Ndong over Mvilla and shipping out Khazri who'd been flying. He also had a top class young gk and one of England's best strikers.

Unforgiveable in a sporting sense imo. Hope we stuff them on Monday.

 

Can't wait for Mondays game, the weekend is going to drag.

Could be a tight affair, but we are strong at the back and have real pace to threaten them all over the pitch.

They won't be looking forward to playing us, Isidor and Traore to score in a 2-0 win

 

Don't think it will be as easy, as there are no easy games in the PL,

think it will be 2/3-0 but dont think the scoreline will be a true reflection on the game.

hopefullly agent pickford can make a few mistakes

 

Hate the bloke but hope we just ignore him, he’s so pathetic he’s not even worth abusing

 

Two nil for the lads.
Xhaka to get his first goal and Brobbey late second half.

 

I think what would be worse for him is that, if we ingore him,

 

Our players, the performance and the result are way more important than a short lived unpopular manager ...

... we've had loads of those to be honest.

What I'll be doing is cheering that the team, onto the pitch, who did us so proud at Chelsea.

Win this game and it really starts to get serious, Ha'way the Lads!!!

 

I’d snap your hands off now for a point

long as we don’t lose

 

the feeling around the club is eletric atm, the players are feeding off it,

if we go 1-0 up early on, the SoL is rocking could be 3/4 -0 and I think we are clicking at the right time, something is building and lets be honest, we are due to thrash someone soon, and as everton normally do that to us, its about time we thrash them heavily for once.

sod it,

5-0 win

 

I’m praying that Regis keeps the players feet on the ground.
It looks as though the fans have already lost it

 

I can't agree there Hank, Everton are only escaping criticism because of how teams below them are doing.

Our home form is the opposite to their away form, they won at Wolves but lost the rest.

This is the kind of game we really need to win in my opinion, we can really gain some momentum if we do.

 

Desperate for us to win this one but I'm expecting it to be tight and low scoring, how we - and the referee - cope with diving Grealish could be the key.
Fingers crossed for a Moyes Sunderland game that we actually enjoy.

 

Thanks again RTB, brilliant thread !
I dislike many ex managers but this bastard started our decline, in my opinion worse than McMenemy and that’s saying something. He deserves everything and more that comes his way.
Anyway I’ve got that of my chest, this is a game we are going to sail through, keep Grealish quiet and we will win comfortably, if he gets a lot of the ball he will create or score. I just can’t see anything other than a win, 2-1 for me.
