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

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

I would like to try and be optimistic for this cup game and I hope that we take it seriously. My message to the players would be to get through by any means necessary, please.

We have 5 FA Cups lets make it 6

With all our players missing, it's finally time to have 7 keepers on the bench.

 

[MACCA75]

Honestly what’s the point. 0-2

I was going to join it at 12.30 (Totally forget it was a 12.15ko). By that time i would have joined it, we may have been behind . I did think few weeks ago with Sunderland having 3 away games in a week including this cup game,we had a decent chance,but we have evened it out with hardly any players

 

[knowing your history]

One good thing at least is Sunderland had lots of travelling this week. Two trips to London and now they have to get down here for lunchtime Sat.

It is a very tough schedule for everyone and they have 3-4 at AFCON themselves.

Should've replicated last year's schedule and have this midweek round after FA Cup 3rd round.

Very hard to predict as will both be mix and match 11s. Wouldn't risk Tarks for this as if he picks up a knock then it will be a comical backline out for the Villa game so need to avoid that at all costs. Guessing Beto will start but options are very limited.

Probably a 0-0 and goes to penalties type game.

Just fluke thru. Don’t care how

Care of duty by our club is zero.
Knew about afcon and let the season crash and burn over the festive season. Pathetic really all round.

 

[Miked1e]

Nope..... not happening is it. Threw the Carabao cup, and now not enough players to field a team in the FA Cup.

Not looking forward to it.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

The best we can hope for is if they rotate, and even then their options are better than ours

 

[GoldenToffee]

Three home defeats within a week really ought to be grounds for immediate dismissal. If we exit the FA Cup at this first stage, particularly with Moyes having already forfeited the League Cup fixture against Wolves by completely unnecessarily rotating his squad when they were all fully fit, the season is over and there is no longer any need for him to be here.

Good job we drew.
