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

[when i score we riot]

Its a cup game, where is that kitchen sink?

Second half much improved but once again quality is so lacking

 

[Taifi gorm]

With missed corner and Beto penalty, makes VAR look like a good thing

Not for us

 

[the golden visionary]

Not sure they have been tbh.
One 10 minute spell before h time .
Compare them to Brentford last week .

Im just talking of the way they play, without pickfoed this could be 3 nil

Who’s the [Poor language removed] in the black? Whose the [Poor language removed] in the black?!

 

[Bluewolf]

The way even a team like Sunderand can play a few triangular passes from the back end end up deep in our half.
Why have we not got players who can do that?
It'd a basic at this level.

Because our entire game play since grealish came here has been "get it to jack and then magic happens"

All the Sunderland players know exactly what to do and are comfortable doing it. Well drilled and well coached. We play like a pub team at times.

 

[Clarky cat]

Is this the first leg?

 

[Marius57]

You think our bench players aren’t national league north level?

Thats not what I said.

But I highly doubt any of our subs are better or even near the standard of what we already have on the pitch.

Macclesfield subs will likely be a more similar standard to their starting players

 

[Rita_Poon]

sub coming for us...

 

[Cels]

Come on Sunderland, finish these clowns!

 

[Bwana]

And miles better than us

True. But.

This is the skeleton crew. Thinking back for five or so years... Yeah, it's not nsno but I'm not worried.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Wish Sunderland would just put us out of this misery....

Has a 1-0 ever been so comfortable

We’ve improved from completely useless to useless

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

We could play for hours like this but lets bloody hope we never have to.

Have got this game in my ear and Macclesfield on TV
