Everton already have injury issues, so the sending-offs of Michael Keane and Jack Grealish were the last thing the manager needed

Everton were retaining hopes of European football just over a month ago but those hopes now lie in tatters after FA Cup third round exit

David Moyes spoke about the decision while previewing the FA Cup clash with Sunderland He also addressed a lack of squad availability, January transfer window hopes and the opponents.

David Moyes admitted he was frustrated with his Everton penalty takers after Robin Roefs saved all three in the shootout to secure Sunderland 's place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

David Moyes sits between the Everton gods of Howard Kendall and Harry Catterick for the number of games managing the club. He recently surpassed Kendall’s 542 matches in charge, and there is every chance he will eventually eclipse Catterick’s 592.

Everton manager David Moyes was not happy with the decision for Michael Keane to be sent off as it was "not a deliberate action", but has no sympathy for Jack Grealish who received two quick yellow cards for dissent.

Everton boss David Moyes has admitted that Sunderland “have done really well” this season, but has claimed that his side are “fortunate” to have been drawn at home in this weekend’s FA Cup third round tie between the two clubs.

Everton exited the FA Cup at the third round stage as they were beaten by Sunderland 0-3 on penalties at Hill Dickinson Stadium following a 1-1 draw. The Toffees missed three times during the shootout as goalkeeper Robin Roefs proved to be the hero for the visitors.
