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

[b-rad]

The runners up runners up European Cup with a 100m midfielder and a player who has nearly a 1 in 2 g/a for the club. Yep Moyes masterclass.

So cups don't count if you have good players?

Every cloud and all that, at least he surely has to play Big Jake at CB....

 

[NeilMorepies]

Can we actually put a team out?

It won't be Sunderland that's for sure

We desperately need a solid display and get through this round by any means necessary. It was going to be a tough game anyway, but it's been made a lot tougher now. The season is over if we don't win on Saturday.

When hasn't the season been over at roughly this time of year?

I watched the extended highlights of their game against Brentford last night and they were clueless.

The absentees are really having their effect on them too.

This is a must win game and we better win it or the season is dead.

 

[GoldenToffee]

First three names on the team sheet: Travers, Mykolenko, McNeil.

As a result, congratulations Sunderland.

I get why you lot are negative after the injuries, suspensions and last night. But you're hardly playing a team that's in good form in ourselves.

We have 6 players who are/ have been away at AFCON - the heart of the team. Without them, we most recently limped through two bruising London aways games with a depleted squad - and looked totally out of sorts in both games, one of them proved to be far too much and we were roundly beaten by Brentford - it's a miracle it was only three goals we lost by. Now we've got to go away again this weekend!

I know our media team, and even before those two aways this week we were completely running on fumes apparently. Before those London aways we had already gave it all against City for a draw, and look totally broken physically as a result. Before that we struggled against Leeds and Burnley, lucky to get a draw in both. We have plenty of injuries/ players who are just not there at the moment.

The upshot of all of that, is that we are certainly going to be making wholesale changes. I'd expect the team to basically resemble our Championship side. With Dan Neil, Luke O'nien, Chris Rigg, Anthony Patterson, Dennis Cirkin, Romain Mundle etc. coming in. If you haven't heard of them, there's a reason for that! These are players who have proven they're jsut not upto the PL standard at all unfortunately - and we will be offloading all of them in the near future.

Also just generally, we haven't won in 6 games (scoring 2 goals in that time) and we have only scored only 5 goals all season away from home...

I'm really looking forward to the game for a number of reasons, and I'll cheer the lads on always, but you need to get out of that 'Everton psyche' if you think we're gonna turn up and batter you!

Just throw this game as a protest against the fa for horrible decisions we get against us. Rest every senior player and play the kids.

WTaF?!

This is our lifeline.

The season ends if we lose on Saturday.

I noticed Moyes disagreed with the Keane sending off last night. I take that to mean the club will appeal it. If that happens then we know our back four for Sunderland.

Pickford
Patterson Tarkwoski O’Brien Mykolenko
Garner
Armstrong Iroegbunam
Dibling Barry McNeil
​

Weak team on paper, but attitude and application can determine the result. Hope to see lots of crosses going in and players like Armstrong and Garner getting in and around second balls.

1-0 Everton

At least he can't play a weakened team. This is all he has

Pickford might fancy this as it's Sunderland?
