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

Dibling been very poor so far, would not be surprised to see him hooked at half time, but then again you could say that about five or six of them. Pickford has kept us in it so far. We look embarrassingly bad as a football team, Sunderland head and shoulders over us that half and not much on the bench to change it. Maybe bring Barry on and go full Wimbledon second half, missed going this match through illness, the lately I've found it a drag going and watching what's on offer, not exactly Dyche levels just get but getting gives of it. Branthwaite, Grealish, N'diaye, Gana, Dewsbury Hall, Tim and Alcaraz all missing, I suppose would hamper any team.

 

[Zatara]

Wake up.
Too sloppy,
Too deep,
Too slow,
No pressing,
No guile,
No passion, Pickford apart.

Get into them and shake it up !

Theyre the tactics though.

 

[Drico]

Yet again week after week we put in a one half of a game that is abysmal!

You mean there's better to come?

 

[Cels]

I wouldnt give Moyes any money, I'd sack him and get a new manager who plays football and not whatever it is we do, we look like Dyche is still here.

We haven’t had a Coleman rallying cry for a while. If we lose today on the back of 1 point from home games v Brentford and Wolves, we must be due one on the website on Monday morning.

On that basis we've got the good half to look forward to.

 

[Everton1654]

Put Braiden Graham on half time l, get the crowd behind him

I fear that we'll put two awful halves together today.

 

[arch stanton]

Not a chance we would win on pen

We wouldn't be given a penalty even in a penalty shootout

 

[blue1948]

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.

But vastly different mindset and tactics than this dinosaur ,a bit better than Dyche on a good day but mainly the same .

Credit to Patterson. He’s absolutely [Poor language removed] useless and it’s not his fault the club blew 12m on him when even basket case rangers saw us coming, but he’s shown bottle in what are totally unwinnable circumstances.

Is he still at the club? Hasn't even been mentioned since Old Trafford

 

[Librarian]

I like Everton

Moyes was guilty of this in his 1st spell .
He's forgotten how to sort it for the 2nd half

 

[Sharpies volley]

They're quicker than us, they're better footballers than us, press better than us. The guy who scored the goal just passed the ball into the net, he never rushed it, never panicked. If that had been one of our players he'd have smashed it about 200 feet over the bar. Why is it that when teams lose the ball against us, they crowd our players and press to get it back straight away. When we lose the ball, which is quite a lot, we just drop back into 4-5-1 and sit and wait, inviting pressure. Our whole game is awful.
