• Dibling, Rohl, Beto, Barry and McNeil showed once again that they are just not good enough. What is concerning is that all of them probably never will be. Dibling seems to want to play at jogging pace and his confidence has gone. Rohl, in all the minutes he has played hasn’t done one single thing that would make you say well done. Get rid in summer. Beto lost possession every time he got the ball outside of the box. Barry has improved but never threatens the goal. McNeil is not the same player since his injury....
  Clive Rogers in Everton vs Sunderland, FA Cup Player Ratings: Adam Aznou the bright spark in a dismal afternoon
• It’s always ifs, buts, could’ve, should’ve with this club. You could tell by Moyes press conference his heart wasn’t in it. And that pessimism passed on to the players. The FA cup is one for the fans he said. Just what does that mean exactly. ...

• Kevin@91 what is the steady improvement you refer to? We are 12th, marginally above the bottom feeders in a very weak Premier league. He has failed to beat premier league opposition in three attempts that has seen us exit all cup competitions under his stewardship by the second round. The quality of football is poor, and he has not strengthened the squad. Garner is the only player who has, slightly, improved as a player and it looks very much like he is about to leave for nothing. The young players that he has bought have been frozen out. Aznou's performance today makes a mockery of his lack of opportunity until now. Andrew@99: West Ham fans would have him back in a heartbeat? Go on to their fansites and see if you can find much evidence to back that up. Their reasons for wanting him out are well documented and the same ones that have followed him around his entire career. Negative, boring football. No crystal ball required to foresee more of the same for as long as he remains...

• It was like being back at goodison today. All you could hear were the Sunderland fans. Played off the park for large sections of the game. Barry and Beto are terrible but the worst player on the pitch by a country mile was Dibling. Anzou looked good. Our recruitment is shockingly bad - if this is down to Moyes sack him. If not I feel sorry for him as half the team are not Premier League standard....

• Watching on TV may be different to seeing it live. I was convinced that McNeil had been substituted in the second half until I heard his name mentioned. Having seen him in the rout at Bradford, I have been saying that there is a footballer in Aznou. I'm not convinced he's a full back, but he offered more in 35 minutes as a winger than Dibling and McNeil have combined all season. I was pleased to see Patterson again play well. For a little used player, cramp after nearly 2 hours is not a disgrace. I can not understand criticism of the manager for this one. He played the only team available to him, with the exception of Beto for Barry. He used the substitutes as he had to. And the 3 powder puff penalties were not his fault. Personally, I think any penalty that is not capable of making the net bulge shouldn't happen. Hard and fast and if the keeper guesses right good look to him. As has been said, we will get players back in the next few weeks. we may still need to improve at fu...
