We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's FA Cup game between Everton and Sunderland.
Here are some of your comments:
Everton fans
Tony: We got what we deserved, beaten. More questions about Moyes as our manager with more and more fans becoming disgruntled with him. Yes he has a threadbare squad, but without our half decent first half of the season, again we'd be looking over our shoulder at another possible relegation battle. Villa next, yikes!

Jack: I'm afraid the game highlighted what we already knew. The squad is too thin to cover injuries and other absences for whatever reason. I accept Sunderland are playing well at the moment, but we looked miles behind them especially in the first half. Hopefully we'll soon be back to full strength, but it shows that we need to strengthen in the summer.
William: The outcome of the game was oh so predictable. A lack of creativity and determination and effort. Everton at home were dreadful and got what they deserved. The whole team - Pickford apart - showed no desire to win this game. The whole team need to practice their skills in penalty taking. Another trophy-less season again. Hopefully we will make mid-table in the league and quickly forget the miserable showing in the cup.
Thomas: With each passing week it's getting harder to distinguish this team from Everton under Sean Dyche.
Sunderland fans
Keith: In spite of a shocking penalty decision against us we played confidently and passed the ball round accurately. We desperately need a proven goal merchant. It was good to have a stress free penalty shootout for a change. Xhaka magnificent as usual.

Dave: After defeat against Brentford it was important not to panic by chasing a win. Fringe players got much needed game time and we still got a result, albeit against a lacklustre Everton.
Edward: Reacted really well to the defeat from Brentford. Very disappointed at the referee's penalty decision but great to see the team not drop their heads and actually play the better of the two sides. Well done to Luke O'Nien, coming into the team and giving such an outstanding performance. What a goalkeeper we have, he gave another tremendous performance.
Harry: What a comeback after Wednesday night. What a buy Robin Roefs is - I can't ever remember a keeper saving all penalties in a shootout. Just outstanding, give him a pay rise.
