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

[BernieH]

The difference in our midfield with just the addition of Gomes has been a big big change, suddenly Gana and Siggy are playing back to their best, it's nice to see, Gomes is a massive influence and must be signed.

 

[Saaby]

Sad to say but Coleman needs replacing next season

 

[TyphooToffee]

Personally I think City are the only team that can beat us from now on. A draw at worst at Analfield and a win at home to Spurs. Get Barbosa in January and 6th will be the lowest we should finish.

 

[Buckers]

The RS are due a right spanking............

Remember when we would have sold our souls for a clean sheet?
Can't be arsed looking for how many, but we have had 2 in a row

Tough win today but he's going to have to get the boys twice as sharp for next week. I fear the worst frankly.

 

[DanEFC92]

Hard work that. Would have fumed had we thrown that away as Cardiff are tragic.

Gomes is perhaps the best player to play the sport.

You're on the Guinness early lad, we weren't good today, big improvement needed or we'll get absolutely stuffed at Anfield.

 

[cromofo]

Our passing though...

 

[canuckblue]

Not quite the bumming I was hoping for but 3 points is 3 points. We are now up to 6th!

Where's @Bungle when you need him?

 

[Parker]

Weren't great. They assured that was the case, horrible football team not interested in playing. Look forward to them being sent back down.

Best part of the match was the level of s**thousery on display by the boys. Lookman walking away with the ball after we got a free kick followed by Gana doing the exact same on the same free kick. Mina I thought was good as well.

 

[ADT]

The rule should be not to be too optimistic because when we expect 5-0 (Today and West Ham) we perform poorly. Expect defeat like Chelsea and we perform well. All bodes well for next week

 

[Abraders]

Gomes

I don't. The loveables aren't going to park the bus like Cardiff; it should make for a more open game, giving Gomes and Bernard more room to manoeuvre.

 

[Sy-]

Keane or Mina for me.

Special mentions for Sigurdsson's full blooded challenge after Coleman wasn't awarded a free kick, also Digne's block on about 92 minutes.
