SUNDERLAND (1) vs (1) EVERTON - FULL TIME

I'd wished for Neville to be taken out in his last match and my wish was fulfilled. I'd meant for him to be substituted, not taken out injured. From then, he has been out for about three months. Today, he's back on the bench and all I wish of him is to be able to play again. The rest of the team remained unchanged from the draw against Birmingham.

Sunderland kicked off the first half. Boy oh boy! A delightful chip from Ossie in the 8th minute saw the ball clip the upright. So close to Everton's first goal. Everton are playing the bridesmaid in this game but they are still getting their shots in with Saha trying from distance in the 14th minute. The Toffees don't seem to be as interested in the game somehow. We really need a goal to lift them out of the doldrums but it went the other way instead.

Everton's behind in the 17th minute. Painful. Sunderland 1-0 Everton. What Bily said is correct as even thi particular midfielder is also pumping up the long balls. But what he said might have also hurt the team. He is notperforming to mark at all and seemed to be disinterested in this game, as of some of the other Everton players.

Everton is now camping in their own half, losing all the 50-50s. Do we need Yak to come in this early in the game? Maybe so. I'd rather if Felli trys to score than be entangled in a wrestling match. Everton's a mess in the first half. What's happening. Why are they not in the game? If it continues this way, I don't see Everton coming back in this game.

I really wonder what Moyes is gonna do. Where're the influential players? Bily really needs to be taken off. His heart is really not there. Timmy made a flying save in the 67th minute. Yak replaced Ossie in the 69th minute. Why is Bily still on? Saha strike towards goal is another missed opportunity. So many times he'd tried today but the balls really got no where.

Everton blasted in a goal in the 84th minute! Hibbo's cross saw the opposing defence giving Felli too much who gladly smash the ball into goal. Sunderland 1-1 Everton. Assist Hibbo.

Saha is replaced by Vaughny but the game still end in parity.

It's a game that Everton had a strangle-hold on the match but could not takeall three points.

Score: Sunderland 1-1 Everton
Scorer: Felli
Assist: Hibbo
Subs: Yak, Vaughny
