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

[NorthernBlue]

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

Agree but I can’t see it. Genuinely think they are happy with how it’s going. Went into the season half baked. Was little urgency from anyone in the summer. Not really sure what the long term plan is.

Anyone worried the lads will go on the beach now?

Isn’t that where they have been for the last 3 weeks?

 

[Mr Happy]

DCL, davies

Not even worthy of a capital letter. That hate must run deep.

Out at the first hurdle of the league cup when Moyes played a weakened team.

Out at the first hurdle of the fa cup after another extremely tepid and disappointing home performance.

Time for change.

Lot of players missing I know but even when they are all playing, there isn't enough goals in this team or pace.

….i don’t mind getting beaten on penalties but not in such a pathetic fashion. I’ve commented often about how many of our players can’t strike a football sweetly, both our strikers just passed the ball to their keeper from the penalty spot.

It’s little wonder we have a goalscoring problem.

Pickford kept us in it first half, but Aznou gave us the chance to go through so he’s my MoM. Just shows you can impact games from the bench, a youngster wanting to make an impression.

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

Nothing but their wages and personal vanity matters

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

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

You would like to think we would have got the shout for the tug on Beto mate. For the first time ever I thought the ref had a really good game. Tried to keep the game flowing and got the majority of his calls right.

And AFCON and ainjuries and asuspensions

To stutter walk penalties when you have the ability of a 4th division yard dog?

Good shout.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Definitely. I'm going to find more productive ways to spend my weekends

Sorting through your off sock drawer is more beneficial than watching us at present.

Couldn't agree more. Not sure who sanctioned those takers. Both CB should've been before them. And Armstrong. Piss poor leadership but its done now.

 

[Toffeelover]

Wish Roy Vernon was still alive to coach these pricks.

 

[dachshund]

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

At least Goodison had a soul and the little sound there was didn't sound so tinny and reverby.

 

[Zezti]

Imagine the fury on here if we win.

Lol.

Too right!

Both of them are nowhere near the required standard and are stealing a living.

Very poor signings.
