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

Moyes can be infuriating at times but let’s be honest the board is the main failing of this club.

What is that starting eleven and more worryingly what is that bench.

Shocking.

 

[BigBeto1]

everytime people are overly harsh on Moyes when looking back at this season. Going to screenshot that bench

 

[ToffeeTim]

Missing quite a few key players tbf

Which us why you need a proper squad. Unavailability is inevitable but we didn't plan for it.

The summer recruitment was shambolic. The season on the brink of falling apart in January is the result

 

[RomanReigns]

I’ve heard that onien fella is decent

 

[Igrok]

Only Pickford can score in this team…OLE OLE OLE OLE

 

[Dykovski200]

Well, as we have had players sent-off for slapping each other and pulling hair, I am predicting we lose one for plucking eyebrows today.

I’m going red card for not pulling socks up

 

[RomanReigns]

No VAR today right?

That font makes them look even more exotic than people from the north-east of England usually are...

If Moyes is serious when putting our U21s and goalkeepers on the bench, and not just using them to whine at TFG to give him more money for players, then he need to play them.
They are either in the squad on merit, in which case then need game time to be prepared/ready if ever called upon, or they are a political statement to the board/owners, in which case they might as well not be there at all and we start with an empty bench.

They aren’t there on merit or as a political statement. Who would you rather he put on the bench instead of them?

Ndiye and gana who are in another country?

Or Grealish and Keane who are suspended?

Or KDH, Alcaraz, Tim and Branthwaite who are injured?

Rammed here today with Sunderland fans.

Let's send them back up the road with f.a. to celebrate.

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Best team we could put out. Shame McNeil is there but who else do we have plus never know as one good thing he does have is a good shot on him and could score a belter today. COYB!

 

[Dykovski200]

Is VAR in for cup games

 

[Eggs]

Christ he looks young!

…9st dripping wet but he doesn’t lack for attitude, playing League of Ireland footy at just 15. Good to see a youngster relying on quality as opposed to simply being bigger and stronger than everybody else. Enjoy watching him play.

Olayiwola highly rated by our academy watchers.

 

[Melchizedek]

Really don't get the fume about the kit. It's the sort of thing top clubs do to generate income. You can't bemoan our inability to financially compete and then turn around and complain about the club trying to make money.

Pink and black looks good anyway.

Never realized how short the squad is until that team today. We really did mess up the summer window.
