Match Thread Cardiff City v Everton- Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[58 toffees]

Bloody hell, best part of 300 mil spent in the last couple of years and we're still having to resort to playing a 36 year old jagielka.


And some people think we should be pushing for a top 7 finish

300 mil and 'pushing' for a top 7 finish ...i'm just gonna let that sink in a while

In 35 years supporting everton, I've honestly never felt such apathy towards the club and team. I'm getting fed up with the premier league in general, actually, but the total mismanagement of the club, total ineptitude of the manager, the arrogance of some players (eg pickford), and on field petulance of others (eg Richarlison), is beyond frustrating. Add to that the loss of identity and no/toxic atmosphere at the ground. It's a total turn-off.

And that's sad

If we score early then it’s an easy three points with us grabbing a couple more goals on the break.

 

[Brownie]

We are in big, big trouble unfortunately.

IF we don't come out of the blocks at 100mph ten there is clearly motivational issues between manager and squad. We have looked so flat for months which coul dbe seen as a confidence thing but, after all this rest, bonding and training together sh1t better get real.

Big one this

Need to win this and then go for hell for leather in the Derby

Two wins from two will take the heat off Silva considerably

Very sad mate when there's not one player on the pitch that gets you excited anymore. They've lost the fans.

Oh god we're back aren't we, been stress free couple of weeks on the football front

Not big big trouble for sure. In a predicament most certainly.
Using the old 40 points for safety yardstick at this time I can't see where 7 points are coming from. But just looking at tonight's fixtures gives an illustration why I reckon 3 maybe 4 more points will do ithe and that's possible
Sad state of affairs I know but let's hope eh?

Just wait for another week, u haven’t seen all yet...

 

[GwladysBlue]

Expecting a hugely improved performance and result. If Silva doesn’t deliver this, then he should be sacked after the game.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Literally every Evertonian today

Two wins from two will take the heat off Silva considerably

If he gets two wins from two he deserves an open top bus

 

[deipnosophist]

I'd be surprised if I bother to watch the game this morning (NZ time)...I just don't anymore get any enjoyment watching Marco's men o' war mutate the beautiful game into something hideously ugly...

 

[evertonandchelmsford]

Despite the long break for the players to work on the training ground and get their heads sorted I hate to be pessimistic but can't see much changing.

After getting thumped by Watford last week Cardiff will be really trying to make up for it. It's got 1-0 Sol Bamba header from a corner written all over it.

After Cardiff & Newcastle fortunately for me all the away games are in London so not too difficult or much of an effort to have to get to them. Binning off the home games after the derby.
