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

[HappyJack]

Sunderland have lots of injuries. So did Brentford, and we were abject v Wolves. Whats the excuses? Moyes must go

When you don't think things can get any worse they put in that performance. Just unbelievably bad, no movement at all.

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.

I agree with the sentiment on dibling but i would have liked a bit more game time near the end of matches than he has been given, consequently when we're now short of players he's thrown in probably with his confidence at an all time low for him. Remember just because we paid a lot of cash for dibling doesn't mean he's the finished article he's still only 19 as well. Admittedly he hasn't covered himself in glory though.

 

[jonnyg]

He had 10 yards on xhaka who was regarded as slow in his prime at arsenal now hes in his early 30s and he absolutely flew past McNeil.

Its pathetic, he plays like hes had both his hamstrings slashed

Don't get me started if he has to change directions while running, like watching scooby doo run on the spot.

 

[RomanReigns]

We haven't bought trash. We have a manager that turns good players into trash. He attempted to do the same at West Ham with exceptional player Kudos and Paquetta. Moyes has know time for players who take players on. I'm sure that Ndiaye takes it upon h8mself to dribble.

Kudos and paquetta have got worse since Moyes left though

 

[blue in oxford]

Get Dibling off and put youngsters on
He is useless

 

[Smurph]

Worst performance of a season that has declined week on week

This side has been cleaved of all the quality we have. Four or five players down of serious quality in a side that is still carrying at least 3 positions that are nowhere near good enough.

Who is realistically in the best starting line-up next season who we have out there now. Pickford and Garner? Tarks or O’Brian? We essentially have 4 starting ready players out there today.

The fact we have drawn Sunderland in this period was always going to be a serious problem.

 

[Straqayoko]

Solsbury Hill on the speakers at half time. That'll really get the crowd pumped. Like a funeral with the black jerseys.

 

[Chegsy]

To be fair mate they’ve got a load of players missing as well.

Their recruitment was also very good in the summer. Ours has quite frankly left a lot to be desired. 99% of our fans would have scoffed at a player like Xhaka but he's done brilliantly for them this season.

 

[Sharpattack]

Just hope we sneak a goal and take it to penalties. How desperate is that?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Does irvine have any input?
Cos sometimes he looks like he's checking his laces when moyes turns round

 

[blue to the bone]

Barry for Rohl .
Id consider Tom king for him

 

[JLW]

We need 2 up front. There is no support whatsoever for the strikers with the slowest midfield in the premier league.

No coincidence they both scored during the 10-15 mins we had 2 up front.

Problem with that is we can’t get near them with 3 in midfield, we’ve got no chance removing one of them for Barry

 

[Bluewolf]

Moyes is obsessed with the big lad playing the 10, Fellaini and Soucek are other Moyes favourites in that role

Never even twigged to that. Only problem is they were good with their heada and rohl has a head like a 50p piece

 

[dannyboy]

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 woth him. It's a carbon copy of Brentford.

He looks completely overwhelmed on the pitch, which is strange because in the odd game I saw him last year he was far more confident. We can blame the management and coaching for that, but the player has to step up as well.
