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

Is VAR in for cup games

Wasn’t last night for Wrexham game.

Aznou surely HAS to get minutes today

Well we can expect Beto to off for Barry at around the 70 minute mark, but I`d say 85 minutes gone Aznou might get a run out. Glad we have plenty of cover with two keepers on the bench and would be very surprised to see any of the young lads given a run out. If Moyes wanted to send a message to the powers that be to show we need some new players this window, he should just have named Barry on the bench on his own.

Rammed here today with Sunderland fans.

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

Nothing but a win for our massive squad which Moyes is lying about being depleted right?

 

[Toffeelover]

McNeil playing a leading role!

 

[Mr PEN86]

Call him by his surname please - Armstrong, and stop causing us a mini heart attack thinking we had that Leeds tosser back.

Paha. Noted John

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.

I don’t remember seeing any of the top clubs in the Uk not wearing their normal colours at home for a televised game.

Is Tim injured or just rested? Everywhere i’ve seen just says “misses out” with no explanation besides that.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Is VAR in for cup games

Nope, thankfully

 

[Mr PEN86]

Lord knows what Aznou needs to do at this point

 

[mikel_88]

That bench today shows the depth we have at the minute shocking. Big game for rohl today hopefully see something from
Him

Injured otherwise he’d be on the bench ahead of one of the 12 year olds

 

[Timbucktoo]

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

Knowing we had so many positions to fill and yet spending so much to get Dibling in to sit on the bench for the first half of the season was terrible. All very well signing young players for the future, but you`ve got to look after the team for the coming season.

Made up to Barry finally benched, unfortunately it’ll only be for this game.

 

[RobYoung]

I'd play Barry every week. One might bounce in off his knee to keep his little bit of a run going.
Beto will never get any better then he is now, might get goals as het got 7 in the second half of last season, but will never be good enough to keep long term.
At least Barry might still improve, every (lucky) goal will help his confidence. I am sure he's feeling okayish after his recent 2 goals.
He can't score when he is not playing.

Although the service to him might be the same when he is on the bench!

 

[Marc bolan]

Did I hear we are wearing black? What's the reason for this?

Saying farewell to the facup for a another season ???
