One result, and suddenly there is a renewed sense of optimism among Sunderland fans. To be fair, it was quite a good one – beating your biggest rivals 3-0 at home. That said, Sunderland are still in the relegation zone.
As for Everton, they've navigated an especially difficult opening ten matches and will be on the hunt for three relatively easy home points.
The teams now gathering in the tunnel at Goodison:
Everton: Howard, Coleman, Stones, Funes Mori, Oviedo, McCarthy, Barry, Deulofeu, Barkley, Kone, Lukaku. Subs: Robles, Gibson, Mirallas, Lennon, Naismith, Osman, Galloway.
Sunderland: Pantilimon, Jones, Brown, Coates, Van Aanholt, Yedlin, Cattermole, M’Vila, Johnson, Fletcher, Defoe. Subs: Larsson, Rodwell, Gomez, Lens, Graham, Mannone, Watmore.
Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)
Good morning Bob. I'm here to join you for the action. Fred says the Fat Cat will make sure his team is difficult to beat
How about yesterday. What a result at the Bridge and what a result for the Gunners!
Fred is up for this one. The must be optimistic about his teams chances.
A Minute's silence will be observed for those who lost their lives during WWI
Jim Beglin and Peter Drury get us underway at Goodison.
Peep! Peep! Here we go, then!
Deulofeu fails to win a corner off of Van Arnholt. The Fat Cat will make sure the Black Cats are defensively solid
Morning, MUR - how are you mate? How was your Saturday with your students?
Good morning mate. Fred is up for this one. He was hoping to go trick-or -treating , so he could get some toffees in his Halloween bag. It was just a dream
I am feeling great. I am well rested due to the time change. My number sense students were first, seventh , and tenth in the sophomore division.
Oh - off the woodwork in the third minute! What a let-off for the Toffees!
OH!!! Off the post by Fletch off a run and pass by Van Arnholt. A Toffees break comes to nothing
Fred must have had an enjoyable National Cat Day on Friday.
A moment's applause for Howard Kendall. Peter Reid , one of his former players is amongst them
Nice minute of applause for Howard Kendall - great stuff!
It was a run by Van Arnholt, but he passed to Cattermole, who set up Fletch
How have you been?
Doing okay, mate. It's the busiest time of the semester for us but we're weathering it. It was nice to get some extra kip.
A long range effort from Barkley is well wide./
Barkley with a powerful run but his shot was well wide.
UWS was plenty unhappy with that United draw yesterday. Did you watch it later?
I am still stressed out about the car. It should be ready Monday afternoon, but I turned it in yesterday because I cannot afford to pay for another week . I will be bumming a ride to and from work Monday or until I get a car
I did. United were lucky not to lose. They were horrible and to make a long story short, were guilty of all the thing UWS complains about. I nearly fell asleep.
Oh - off the woodwork again from Johnson this time. And then Timmy makes a wonderful point-beank save.
Sorry to hear about your car, mate - hope that gets sorted out soon.
OH!! How did the Black Cats not take the lead. What a solo run by Van Arnholt off a bad p[ass from Bryan Oviedo. A greta kick save by Timmy.Then off the paost from Adam Johnson then a shot from Fletch is blocked.
Cheers mate. It 's been in for a fortnight. Had I told you about it earlier?
Fred is not pleased that you called this an easy match for the Toffees. He says that there are no easy matches when a Fat Cat is in charge.
High and wide by Coleman as if he spilled a whole jar of mustard
GOAL!!!! DELAFEU GIVES THE tOFFEES THE LEAD. SO MUCH FOR BEING SOLID AT THE BACK
GOAL! Against the run of play, Delafeu streaks through and opens the scoring for Everton.
1-0!
A goal kick was taking by the giant Transylvanian keeper and headed back to Kone , who found Delafeu beating the offside trap and slotted it past the giant keepr.
Sam Allardyce won't be happy with that defending. Wes Brown an Van Arnheim basically invited Delafeu on in.
Panti pushes away a near post effort from Coleman off a pass from Koner.
They did a second time too as De;lafeu got behind the defense a second time . This time his shot went across the face of the goal then a shot from Barry was off of Kone for a goal kick.
Oviedo has a problem now after robbing Defoe on that break. Looks like a hammy strain.
Brendan Galloway to replace Oviedo.
It's as of the Toffees spotted a weakness in the Black Cats defense with Brown and Van Arnholt being caught out of position.
Fat Sam prides himself on being sounds on the basics of defense, and as a former defender will be royally pissed.
Galloway on for Campbell.
The Toon have overtaken the Black Cats thanks to a draw vs Stoke yesterday.
Oh - Johnson with a good effort from distance.
Well wide by Adam Johnson off a pass from Dafoe.
Some interesting results yesterday. Do you agree?
A long string of Everton possession peters out finally.
I do - I'm still waiting to see if Mourinho gets sacked this week.
GOAL! Kone makes it 2-0 Everton!
GOAL !!! WHAT A FINISH BY KONE WITH A SHOT OFF THE UNDSERSIDE OF THE BAR FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX.
it was a typical Toffees goal, with lots of passes , then a nice one two with the Chunk and a lovely finish.
That shows again the power of playing with two strikers up front - lovely interplay between Lukaku and Kone.
I think Mou may be around till the end of the season because a "suitable" replacement is not available and Roman is not too enthusiastic about a 30 million quid payoff.
Lee Cattermole is down. It must be a thigh or hammy strain.
Sunderland have perhaps been the better side, but they have failed to take their chances. Since the goal, Everton have controlled possession.
Jack Rodwell will be on for Cateermole. That's basically like for like.
Jack Rodwell makes a sad return to Goodison, coming off the bench. I once thought he'd be the next Steven Gerrard. What's happened to his career?
Also, there have been almost as many holes in their defense as Swiss cheese and that is a recipe for disaster in the Prem.
I think he's been injury prone and it seems as if he will sadly , not recover.
I would start Seb LArsson instead of leaving him on the bench
Coates fouls Kone just outside the box.
Nice turn by The Chunk but his shot was straight at Pants.
The Black Cats were wise to the training ground routine off the short free kick , however , Barkley was able to set up the Chunk , who had a long range effort straight to Panti
GOAL! Defoe finally gets his just rewards for an excellent first half. Great finish!
2-1!
WHAT A GOAL !!!! SECONDS BEFORE THE BREAK THAT PUTS THE BLACK CATS RIGHT BACK IN THIS MATCH. IT CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE.GREAT FINISH BY DAFOE AS THE BLACK CATS TRAIL 2-1 AT THE HALF.
That goal changes the halftime talk for both managers . It was a long hopeful ball from Cotes that was trapped by Dafoe after Stones misjudged the bounce. He then chipped the ball over Barry t, then shot past Timmy with the shot taking a slight nick off of Stones.
The second half is underway
Sam's got his cuppa and we're ready to enjoy the second half.
Fat Sam is not pleased and Fred is watching the birds in the backyard. He was confused when I brought up Desmond.
GOAL! Desmond at Goodison! Sunderland have turned it around!
Great header from Fletcher!
GOAL !!! DESMOND . FLETCH AND VAN ARNHOLT SURE KNOW ABOUT DESMOND AS FLECTH HEADS IN A LOVELY CROSS FROM VAN ARNHOLT.
Did Fred wake up for that one?
Now Sunderland are suddenly rampant - this has turned into a gripping match.
The Toffees had a soft center again as Johnson lobbed over the on rushing Timmy, but the defense cleared it away
It's the kind of match you get when you play two strikers up front. Are you watching Jose Mourinho?
Oh - Delafeu streaks through and then falls in the box. Nothing doing from the ref.
And then Defoe is down the other end having a go.
And now Kone shoots wide! End to end stuff!
Deolofeu went down easily in the ob , looking for a pen as he had in recent matches, then Dafoe straight at Timmy , then back up the pitch for Kone to shoot wide.
John Stones was booked at some point in all of that.
And now Delafeu gets one for the dive.
Deulofeu is deservedly booked for that horrible dive. it was not even remotely close to being a penalty
GOAL !!!! the chunk heads the toffeees into a 3-2 lkead off a cross from deulofeu
GOAL! The Chunk re-establishes Everton's lead with nifty header. No - it was off Coates' boot. Own goal!
3-2!
It all started with a Toffees throw on the left. Barry played Deolofeu down the right and was headed in by the Chunk off of a bounce.
Back to the goal that made it Desmond. A long ball from M'Vila was trapped by Dafoe. He passed to Van Arnholt, whose cross was headed in by Fletch
Roddie is booked for a foul on Kone.
with all that end to end stuff, I was unable to answer your question. Fred is still napping. He's missing some great stuff.
GOAL! Lukaku rounds the keeper and slots home his second of the match.
4-2!
GOAL !!!! THE CHUNK HAS A BRACE AS HE EASILY MAKES IT 4-2 TO THE TOFFEES.
More suicidal defending from Sunderland; they are certainly not playing like a Sam Allardyce side today. Lots of fireworks up front and no defense? Has Sam turned over a new leaf?
It all started with the Toffees winning a tackle just outside their own box. Stones found Deolofeu and his thorugh ball to the Chunk caught the Black Cats on the counter. The Chunk rounded Pants and easily slotted home/
GOAL! Everton have hit Sunderland for 5! Kone has a brace!
GOAL !!! KONE HAS A BRACE AS THE TOFFEES ARE RUNNING RIOT . THEY LEAD 5-2.
Sunderland may really entertain this season with this kind of approach but they're going to get relegated doing so. This will keep them in 19th and won't help their negative GD in any way.
larsson is on for Yeltsin.
The Black Cats were caught out as they were for the fourth goal. This time Barkley found McCArthy, whose clever pass found Kone ,. and he shot past Pants from narrow angle with a great finish
Deolofeu, who had a pair of assists after the booking , is replaced by Mirallis.
Agreed about the Black Cats. They need to solve their defensive deficiencies. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of twists and turns in the relegation battle during the course of the season
Mou and Louis van Gogh may want to watch this match in regard to how to attack.Van Gogh tutored Mou at Barca.
Peter Drury just stated that one of the Chunk's goals is being changed to a Coates OG.
Kone just failed to divert in a cross from Mirallis and the Black Cats clear away
Yes - it was definitely an own goal. Chunk only gets one of those today. Lukaku was poised to nod home but Coates beat him to it.
Galloway wins a corner off of a pass from Mirallis.
Fred is still napping and now might as well. He can only think about a bag full of Toffees if only we let him go trick-or treating.
The game seems to have settled down after that spate of four goals in about ten minutes.
Villa will have a chance of leapfrogging the Black Cats with a win against the Spuds tomorrow.
Somehow , I don't see that happening. The Spuds can leapfrog the Hammers into fifth place with a win. Villa have one single point since their opening day win/
Nearly a half a dozen , but Mirallis cannot finish after rounding Pants. He then has a shot blocked for a throw.
Miralllis wins a corner off of Van Arnholt.
Funes-Mori heads over from the corner from Mirallis.
Young Watmore is on for Fletch . Like for like.
Melanie and her friends have taken Fred into her bedroom. He doesn't need to watch , what for him , is a horror show.
GOAL! Kone completes his hat-trick with a super header!
GOAL !!! A HAT-TRICK FOR KONE AS HE HEADS THE TOFFEES INTO A 6-2 LEAD WITH A FREE HEADER IN THE SIX YARD BOX.
The Chunk played a pair of one twos with McCArthy then a deft cross with the outside of the boot was headed in by Kone.
Leon Osman is on for a rare appearance as he's on for the Chunk, who gets a deserved ovation and a hug from the gaffer.
When was the last time a Sam Allardyce side shipped six goals?
This match is just like the Toon's victory over the Canaries a fortnight ago.
I'm not sure, but the Fat Cat will do plenty of growling and hissing.
The Goodison faithful are getting greedy - they want 7!
Fat Sam is looking at his watch. The final whistle cannot come soon enough for him.
It could possibly happen.
Sunderland's ginger ninja has nearly scored a third goal for the Black Cats - wow! What a match!
The Black Cats were through, but Stones blocked an effort from LArsson.
Still ten minutes to score a few more!
Three winable matches coming up for the Toffees . The Hammers away , then Villa and the Cherries after that
Stones with abgreat tackle on Watmore for a corner.
Sunderland, to their, credit are continuing to knock on Everton's door.
Oh - Mirallas has just come on and he nearly added the 7th.
Mirallis was not far off with a shot from a narrow angle after a long possession.
Barkley is flagged offside as the Toffees go for a seventh.
Rodwell heads out a cross for a Toffees corner.,
The corner from Barkley is caught by Pants.
Three minutes of stoppage time as Timmy pushes away a shot from M'Vila.
It's over as the Toffees thrash the Black Cats 6-2.
Next, is a rarely played South Coast Derby, as the saints host the Cherries.
That match will be shown on Born in the USA.
Well, I am well and truly satiated after that eight-goal fest; I'm off to do some Sunday errands rather than watching the late one.
Cheerio!
Cheers mate. Have a great rest of the day
