Everton are the best side to come to Sunderland this season

looked a really solid outfit tonight imo.

their midfield ran the game for long spells tonight.

still, its always a good sign when the opposition has such a good game and we still come away with a point.

Agreed. Good point for us. It says something when you'e happy with a point after conceding an 83rd minute equaliser. Normally we'd be gutted.

Aye, they did play well (without much end product it has to be said) in our half but we did invite a lot of that pressure on ourselves, some of the clearances and hoofs from us were shocking, even when we were under no pressure.

They are a good side. But just as long ball and direct as anyone else in this division without getting the reputation for it.

We've played some good teams at home and we are still unbeaten. Everton put in the best performance so far for an away team and we still came away with a point.

Can't complain too much.

Aside from West Ham in the cup they are the first team to come here and outplay us.

not sure about that like, they have decent players in the middle (arteta, piennar and cahill can all play).

I thought Villa were good as well like but aye we could have had few complaints if Everton had took all 3 points tonight.

we were sloppy, against a (bogey) team who played really well and got a point. happy enough.
