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

[gonetomorrow]

Refreshing not to have VAR. I doubt we'd have got the pen otherwise!

 

[bag a yoko]

Moyes is a cancer that hasn’t ever been cut out of the club. Seeps into every level of the club.

Complete overhaul needed so that we stop thinking that weeks like this week are anything other than absolutely catastrophic.

We should be firmly in the European places and yet everyone can’t wait to reel off excuses about afcon as to why we are crap as if we weren’t crap before then.

We were battling relegation a year ago and you want to sack the manager because you think we should be firmly in the European places.

Your paid to bury the ball in the back of the net and after 120mins Both strikers still couldn't do it.

 

[blue to the bone]

Time to get the chequebook out.

That result means we will not spend a penny. There's nothing to play for realistically.

Major investment needed in the summer that’s for sure. Not sure these yanks are all in for that.

Do with a bit of investment now never mind summer. We're in a downward spiral and it needs sorting now.

 

[JammyP]

Stop being a tit please.

But 3 defeats away? So frustrating as beating Brentford would have been contenders for something. So missing key players.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Out of both cups in the first rounds.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Our new home is becoming a gift to the opposition

Nothing to do with the ground ffs. We where useless at Goodison too.

 

[Cels]

On a positive note, we can now turn our attention to the league and concentrate on qualifying for Europe.

 

[Bluewolf]

With what we had out wasnt expecting much today. Maybe sneak through .
But them pens have really pissed me off. Poor players trying to do little steps and be clever
Put it down , hit it hard and on target and 9/10 it goes in.

id or rather lost 1-0 then had to be embarrassed by those pens

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Barry, Beto, dibling, McNeil and Moyes.

Please get out of this club now.

This 3 games in this week has been soul destroying.

Awful all of them

I find it hard to slate Moyes when literally all his top players apart from Pickford have been missing but the other four? I don’t know what they’re supposed to be bringing.

Aznou showed today what fans want from attacking players who get an opportunity - drive forward and try and take the game to the opposition and make something happen… apart from Beto who doesn’t have the quality, the other three just walked around doing nothing

With the shackles normally applied to a league game removed I genuinely expected to see drive, intensity, ambition and passion in what was the first FA Cup game at our new stadium. Hugely disappointed in the performance, and result obviously. Maybe I expect too much from players nowadays but we have far too many that seem to be lacking the heart to play for this club. Armstrong looks like he might mature into a decent player, other positives were Patterson and Anzou getting minutes, that's about it.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Anyone worried the lads will go on the beach now?

Nah, the FA cup means very little to modern day footballers.

 

[datblygu]

Very very few positives from that.

Aznou showed he deserves a chance.
Patto did a decent shift.

Not sure what else.

im trying to put spin on the gloom, but we need two fullbacks so if they do come good and the missing players come back we'll have a decent first xi, except for a striker.

I think that's just how a lot of players take pens these days.

I have no idea why, they are always crap and look ridiculous if they get saved.

Just toey it!
