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

[Toffe3m4n]

Meh, we'll see, I wouldn’t count on it. I'd be happy for them to go into the Derby still unbeaten.

Provided Watford don't s*it it, I think they're capable of at least a draw. They've done alright against the top 6 at home in recent times.

Coming down on a lads weekend for this one, really looking forward to it, I think they will frustrate us and nick a goal, however I can see us winning 3 -1 or thereabouts, cue a good night in the town thereafter.

If Siggs is crocked I would like to see what Bernard can do in a more central role, against any grock defenders he should be worth at last three penalties? Can you imaging him doing his little slalom around the more agricultural centre halves? They will void themselves trying to keep track of him and drag him to the floor in frustration

If swigs is clocked tosun up front with richy in behind

If swigs is clocked tosun up front with richy in behind

...not sure what that means and I haven’t even been on the rum.

 

[Blue Roo]

Thank god its a Saturday ko.

Go all out in the first half with strongest side, take the risks, get a 2 goal lead.
Empty the bench early, starting with Lookman at half time.

 

[croatian blues]

Easy win...

I hope they dont lose to Watford as the odds of any of the top 6 side losing 2 PL games on the bounce is rare.

If they lose to Watford and likely PSG they will no doubt tonk us in the derby.

I hope they go into the derby still unbeaten and underestimate us as them possibly losing their unbeaten streak to us at their own ground in the derby ending their title challenge along with it will play heavily on their shoulders imo.

They probably have the weakest squad in the league but they aren't doing too badly. We won't have it easy but we should be getting 3 points, and given the injury problems that have cropped up again recently, we should be able to win without risking players who have niggles.

Everton's propensity to 'Everton that' usually makes me reluctant to get too confident about a result...but on this occasion I am unswayingly optimistic...3-0 to the mighty Blues!

I will join you in that optimism 1-1.

Can't see Cardiff scoring so .....
1_0 to the principality

 

[EnglishRoundabout]

No way will Mina not be in the side. Personally, I think Zouma makes us stronger. Knowing Silva so far, I reckon he will select Zouma and Mina. Definitely the strongest partnership.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Tosun start up top. These are poor and he needs a goal or 2 to build his confidence up.

Richarlison has played a lot of football. Give him a break and make sure he’s hit and injury free for the derby.
