Match Thread Everton 1-1 Sunderland 12:15 Saturday 10th January 2026 (FA Cup Third Round)

[Toffeepot]

Mcneil with a 10 yard headstart gets caught and turns round after 10 yards

 

[BigBeto1]

McNeil has just tried to break and got caught by Xhaka. Cancel that man’s contract

 

[bullybeef]

This is crap.

 

[Zatara]

SAFC hardly even seem arsed about this, judging by their tempo, tactics and with such strong bench for them they know it’s hardly a stretch. It’s so easy for them it’s scary. Another forward thinking, continental coach works wonders. The first team absentees notwithstanding, some of the second string choice are beyond terrible. Rohl, Patterson, McNeil, Beto are abject footballers.

Who knows?

Everyone and anyone will look bad with this setup and managerial instructions.

 

[Ming the Merciful]

Get the boos started

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Afcon, injuries and suspensions on top of a paper thin squad that relied on magic by individuals. It was never sustainable. Still miles away from the past 5 years.

 

[jerseytoffee]

Doesn’t feel like we’re the home side here, louder fans, them controlling and not even playing in blue

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

How can these be so much better than us? Embarrassing.

And like us they have a load of players missing also.

 

[Drico]

I suppose once you've lived through going out of the cup 0-3 to Tranmere Rovers, being eliminated by Glendenning AFC is palatable.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Can't remember stringing 5 passes together

 

[Verbal Kint]

The HDS is a lovely place for Visitors.

My god we can't string 3 forward passes together

 

[Rita_Poon]

+3

 

[Tintin]

Outplayed at home against Sunderland. No ideas how to create chance, just hit it long. Weak players and no pace at all.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

We also must be one of the slowest teams in the league.

Sunderland will never have an easier day of defending.

 

[bag a yoko]

Given this is the worst team with put out this season in a patch of low confidence it's going exactly as expected.
