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

[blue1948]

Right now we are going out of the fa cup
without so much as a whimper.

Where is the fight, where is the pride, where is the passion?

This ain’t a David Moyes team.
Rio into em Davey lad.

The problem is it is a Moyes team . Scared of there own shadows ,told to pass back if possible and try not to lose !

Alot of these players ambitions us staying up. We've done that so they have achieved what they needed to this season

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

We need to have more urgency, keep the ball on the damn ground, quicker passing get crosses in. Were too slow and way too much hoofing. Get some confidence by playing not bloody hoofing

Everton für Everton, raus Moyesy raus!

TBH I'm still on his wagon.

The one without horses.

 

[Tony1985]

Got to hand it to Sunderland, they’ve played quite well and nullified us completely. The drop off in creativity and quality from our starters is shocking. I would stick Barry on and go 442, just try and do something different.

We normally have a good half in games, hopefully that plays out today.

 

[bullybeef]

That ship sailed years ago. The game has passed him by.

Go out but at least go out fighting.
We started like we already knew our fate and couldn’t be arsed.

Just a reminder these fellas get paid millions of pounds a year.

I have to say I like what I’ve been seeing from Patterson the past two starts. He’s standing out to me for the right reasons. I see him making good stops and he’s got his head up to quickly press and attack. And he is definitely overlapping with his winger. If he continues like this, he’ll be a good RB until we bring in a stronger more proper one in the winter or summer. I see Patterson, O’Brien, Tarkowski, and Branthwaite as really solid.

I'd just throw 2 of the kids on at HT, just for the unknown factor, why not? If we just do our usual barry for beto on 60 mins then we're done.....sleepwalking to a 3 nil drubbing here

 

[Clarky cat]

The ball is the round orange thing lads…

Honestly have no idea what the plan is other than let them have the ball and then slowly plod along until we go backwards and pump a percentage ball towards Beto who has demostrated over the last couple of years that he absolutely cannot do anything with that gameplan. Another embarassing half of football to add to the collection.

HT 0-1

very very poor.

comms - passing hasn't been accurate all over the park

No way we score 2.

I don't think the managerial instructions matter, we are just that terrible with advanced pressing. We have an ancient coaching team in all the main positions.

 

[maccavennie]

The stars have aligned in an extremely bad way and left us with a side full of players who either aren't ready or shouldn't be at the club.

We are definitely seeing why Moyes has refused to bring Dibling on in for Ndiaye throughout the season. Miles off it.

Moyes needs to be held accountable for signing off on a signing that he obviously doesn't want. Dibling is miles off it and looks like nothing of any note gets worked on with him. It's a carbon copy of Brentford.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Peter Gabriel blasting out… land of confusion more like

Don't give up....

May help if Dibling and any of the forwards were receiving passes in front of them on the deck.

Launching the ball or passing it to those with backs to goal is an abomination of tactical cluelessness.

Moyes masterclass today.

Do what you want with the tactics today. The team is crap and Dibling has been poor. If you want to delude yourself and pin it all on the manager then crack on. Fact is that we could have Ancelotti in the dugout today and it'd still be the same result.
