FA Cup: Everton v. Sunderland [R]

[Rocket]

Everton host Sunderland (currently 3rd in the Championship) this Saturday in a 4th round FA Cup match.

With Everton playing 3 matches in 9 days -- Everton host Norwich on Wed 2/1 and visit Southampton on Sun 2/6 -- it'll be interesting to see what type of lineup Moyes fields for the match.

Do we have any reserves to speak of that can help take some of the load?

Starting lineup:

Wright
Pistone, Yobo, Stubbs, Naysmith
Osman, Cahill, Carsley, Kilbane
McFadden, Beattie

Martyn is on the sub bench, so that's a good sign!!

[sarabella]

Sheesh. Wright almost gives up a goal. Someone knocked off a shot and he spills it, and then recovers.

Header from Beattie saved.

McFaddy bounces one off his knee past the Sunderland keeper. Great setup by Kilbane.

1-0 Everton

[sarabella]

Beattie gets his first goal as a Blue!!

2-0 Everton

We're really playing quite well.

Edit: It was deflected off a Sunderland player, so they might not give it to him. :(

HT 2-0 Everton

I realize this is a Championship team, but we are truly dominating this game. Wright has had little to do, and we're creating chances and getting in deep. An excellent effort from our boys in Blue.

FT 3-0 Everton

Nice job, Blues!
