Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports after the 1-1 draw at Sunderland: “I thought for 20, 30 minutes I would be disappointed if I go home with a point but at the end I was pleased we got a point.
“We missed a good chance to make it 2-0, then we sat back and that gave Sunderland a bit of confidence.
“We didn’t manage the last 15 minutes of the first half very well and we didn’t manage the second half well.
“We did all the things we hoped we would [at the start], it was a case of would we score. Iliman Ndiaye scored a very good individual goal, Jack [Grealish] hits the post and when Thierno’s [Barry] chance missed we didn’t have enough.
“We conceded immediately after kick-off. Goals make the difference and can change how you feel as a manager.
“Coming to Sunderland, a point is not a bad result, but after 30 minutes I was feeling ‘we’re alright here, we should get a result’. You could see it was a lucky goal [for Sunderland], it was a deflection but if you shoot, sometimes you get a bit of luck and they got a bit lucky.
“I’m struggling to pick out many positives from any of our football in the second half. The main thing was to not concede a second goal. It summed up the night that we could not find a pass to get that second goal.
“I wanted much more and we’re capable of it. I think we have a good team, we played quite well for some periods, but not for long enough.”
