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

I thought we started on the front foot v Chelse

I think Talbi has played better on the left and if I recollect didn't he play for his last club more on the left doesn't really matter he seems to be able to do it on both flanks.

 

One off wasn't it and Chelsea didn't do much either side if that goal and we equalised 18 minutes later after taken it to them but my point is the one that isn’t valid?

 

Exactly! Scoring on 18 minutes or winning the game doesn’t mean anything,
They started bad

 

Agree to disagree I think. I thought they started well. I know they conced very early but a team of Chelsea's quality are always going to get a chance or two.

If I had be worried about for anything I see it would be the odd poor ball when they try to play it out etc... that usually gets them in trouble. Tbh it was where the goal on Saturday started.

 

We might not win, you could even say we are due a loss. But those are bizarre predictions on the face of it.

 

I hope all pundits and opponents continue to underestimate us for the rest of the season.

Suits us down to the ground.

 

At least they have stopped calling Football Manager the Supercomputer

 

but we'd still be above the mags

 

Fearful he's played his last part for us, hope I'm wrong. I'll always be thankful for his presence at the club.

 

I totally agree mate, we are generally a little conservative for the first 10 to 15 but by no means do we start badly
