Match Thread: Everton v Wolves 07.01.2026 KO 7.30pm


Quite a place
By Ivybridge Wolf
January 7 2026

With the first Wolves win secured at home to West Ham (who lost again yesterday evening) and Everton losing at home 4-2 to Brentford, then maybe Wolves supporters will travel up to Liverpool later today with some more realistic hope than might have been?

This is the first time Wolves have played at the magnificent new Everton ground, built on reclaimed land on Bramley Dock. The match kicks off at 7.30pm and will be covered by sky.

As part of this very short introduction, I wish the team and Edwards the best of luck as I will be in attendance and leaving very early! What will we get, a more organised display similar to recent away games, or back to the chaos? Hopefully Wolves can compete much better than the reverse fixture at Molineux in August, Everton winning 3-2 and thoroughly dominating ..... it was a miracle how Wolves managed two goal!

Please leave your comments in the thread in the usual manner,

UTW!

Hope springs eternal. Tolu and Hwang up front so JSL on bench.
A place on bench for Lima.
Can Mane keep being an inspiration?

Poor first half, losing the physical battle and mane playing to deep and there's no support to tulu.
Carries on like this 2nd half its going to end one way.

Much better 2nd half, mane the star player again.
Everton 2 late red card, dare I say it a missed chance to take all 3 points.
A wonder save from pickford from a hugo strike saving Everton in injury time.

Great finish from Mane although overall I don't think he had one of his better matches and fair's fair it was from a good pass from Larsen. Mosquera, Santiago, Krejci and Gomes all played well and Hwang ok. Not a very impressive first half and didn't look like scoring, much better second half. Both red cards 100% correct, in fact the way Grealish was mouthing off he was lucky to stay on as long as he did.

I assume this is a joke?

It would almost have been worth missing Grealish’s temper tantrum eviction to get the extra goal

The thing is Lupy, after Saturdays matches we were 12 points from safety. Now, with Forest winning on Tuesday and us drawing with Everton, we are 14 points adrift.

A great point, a terrific football ground, not a great match!

Quite a poor first half for Wolves to be honest though in the second half I felt we were the better team and very much deserved the point. The through ball to Mane from Larsen was perfect however the Mane finish was typical from a player really playing well at the moment. Mane has plenty to learn yet and to be frank he’s had better matches, but what a finish! My biggest worry is that he’s in line for the fire sale, perhaps in the summer?

The scenes towards the end were utterly chaotic from a supporter perspective. Genuinely nobody around us had a clue what was going on when Keane was sent off, we couldn’t even work out whether the review was directed at a Wolves or Everton player! And then moments later Grealish got his marching orders, he was just plain saft. Everton fans were seething.

Overall a great day out, I think Liverpool is a cracking city, and was lovely that we caught up with friends and relatives of Cheshire Wolf ….. they’re Todfees!

Great to see us competing but likely all too late. Still,
UTW!
