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

[Noisy noise annoys]

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

We have 7/8 first team out - that’s not on the club

Looking ominous

Not just long throws, we struggle keeping possession with ANY throw in. It's a bit weird

Historically, we always have. Usually end up throwing up the line for the centre forward to (hopefully) win the arial duel and head it on safely to their keeper. Much as i despise Klopp (the shiny teethed nowt), he had the good sense to employ a specialist throw-in coach. It's all about retaining possession, dontchyaknow!

Getting played off the park by a newly promoted side at home.

Embarrassing this

I think posting this after 6 minutes of a game is slightly more embarrassing tbh


(When it's 3 nil I'll requote and say fair enough)

Playing like an away team and a bad one at that

 

[Bedfordblue]

Good old Dwight pulling the brakes on the chance to break (on his preferred / best position too)

 

[jamieni]

Don’t know why I’m bothering to watch this

 

[MinkyJoe]

Early days, but we look a bit clueless at the moment. Hope we get better.

C'mon Blues!

 

[Sona]

Wow, we’ve barely touched the ball these first 10 minutes! Shocked at how passive we are here.

 

[Mozza1987]

Once we lose a few important players we are absolutely crap aren't we

 

[Houghty19]

Obviously hope I'm wrong but i just can't see us getting a result today with this team, the start has already looked like we're set up to defend for 90 minutes and hope for a goal on the break.

 

[Mr PEN86]

What's this free role McNeil think he's got? Meant to be on the left but always find him in random areas leaving his area exposed.

 

[II McColl II]

the difference in press intensity and time on the ball is embarrassing

 

[Bluewolf]

Looks like we’re playing for a 0-0 and try to get through on penalties

Looks to me like were trying to just not get proper bummed

 

[bullybeef]

They are working and pressing very hard.

We… well… laboured I’d call it
