After the hammering by Watford at home, what can we expect from Everton? Possibly not as strong as Watford currently...not sure what to expect. Concerned about NW and his tactical nous. Morrison not fit for duty, not sure he was playing well enough anyway.
The ex jack is bound to score. Charlison will probably recapture his form. Everton were average when we went there but on last nights evidence an away win will be a popular bet with punters.
If we don't go back to the team we started with against Bournemouth & Southampton we will get absolutely stuffed here!
Given I'm sat in an office in Liverpool with its fair share of Evertonions, we mustn't get beat in this one. Wednesday will be a long day otherwise.
Was anyone here at NP the last time City beat Everton? It was in the 2nd leg of the League Cup in September 1979. City lost the 1st leg 2-0 but won the return 1-0 with a late John Buchanan piledriver into the net past I seem to recall George Wood (he of the ‘we don’t care’ chant) whom had a blinding game. Just hope our defending is better than this shambles from 2 years previously
Glad that was a short video pal! Cardiff City loanee Oumar Niasse is ineligible to face his parent club Everton, so Kenneth Zohore could make his first start in five months. Aron Gunnarsson is expected to return, while Lee Peltier and Bobby Reid will be checked after illness and Victor Camarasa (calf) could be fit. Everton defenders Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines are available after respective knee and rib injuries. Dixie Dean expected to start after a long layoff, BT saw her a few times! Yerry Mina remains a doubt, while Kurt Zouma serves a one-match ban. @johnrodercomm: Both of these teams lost to Watford in their last match - but whereas Cardiff's heavy defeat took place on Friday, it has been over two weeks since Everton played a competitive fixture. That may well have given the visitors the chance to work out how they are going to turn around their season, having lost four of their last five in the Premier League. Currently just a point above the bottom three, Cardiff know results at home are key to their chances of avoiding relegation. Everton's enforced break may give them an edge in what is certain to be a keenly-fought encounter, with both teams desperate for a win for different reasons. Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock on loanee Victor Camarasa's calf injury: "We're having physios and medical people from abroad telling us what we can do with him when he is our player. "He obviously listens to his physios, his medical people and Tom, Dick and Harry from abroad. "We think he's closer to fitness than what his guys think. It's a been a really big disappointment because Camarasa is a very important player for us." Everton manager Marco Silva: "If you did very good things the first three or four months we have to understand why we started to not do the same. "We are losing points and not achieving the good results in some moments because of the detail, and so you have to work more and more to be more consistent within the team. "I am not happy with our results (but) to change radically, no." I think Cardiff will get over Friday's 5-1 defeat by Watford pretty quickly. Neil Warnock will not let his team dwell on a bad night, but I still fancy Everton here. Prediction: 1-2 Lawro's full predictions v Jungle's Tom McFarland Head-to-head Cardiff's last league victory over the Toffees was back in 1956. Since then, they have drawn four and lost four. However, Everton are winless in six top-flight visits to Cardiff since a 2-0 triumph in March 1929. Cardiff City Cardiff have lost three of their past five league games. They have conceded 28 Premier League goals at home this season, more than any other side. The Bluebirds have conceded five goals on three separate occasions this season, all of which have come at home. Cardiff have failed to score in 11 of their 27 league games this season (41%). Only bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield have a worse record. They have never won a midweek Premier League fixture scoring just two goals in nine games (D3, L6). Everton Everton have lost eight of their past 11 league games, including all of the last three. They haven't lost four league games in a row since January 2015 under Roberto Martinez. The Toffees have scored just three goals in five league games, failing to score in either of the last two. Everton have conceded a third of their 39 league goals from free-kicks and corners, the worst record in the division. Marco Silva has won an average of 1.22 points per game with Everton, the lowest ratio of any Toffees manager since Walter Smith, who departed the club in March 2002 with a 1.15 ratio. Gylfi Sigurdsson has been involved in more Premier League goals in matches played in Wales than any other player - 12 goals and 21 assists in 67 appearances.
Prediction from my bollocks as thus: Burnley to lose...say yeah! Brighton to lose...say yeah Huddersfield to lose...say yeah! Of course Cardiff City to win...say yeah!
An evertonian work colleague pointed out that we'd never won a midweek premier league game Masky. I pointed out that records are there to be broken......
Any other club would consider sacking their manager after the last 2 performances. A team of championship players against premier league players. I was shocked by the Watford display but seeing the team tonight, expected nothing other than another abject defeat.
Pointless to sack NW now. Especially as he has the type of character they may see a turnaround for a couple of games.
The thing I don't get with Warnock, having observed him for a number of years, is why he persists with the "we didn't get the rub of the green", "everyone is against us" rhetoric. Everyone has games where that seems to be the case but not every game! I can see him bowing out at the end of the season and hanging his managers coat up.
Shocking game - no quality in the side at all. Everton were poor but we were useless. What has happened to that gutsy performance against Bournemouth just a few weeks back? Even if we didn't want to believe it, the games both last night and against Watford exposes us as a second tier quality club managed by a Championship manager. After that lot, we need another club down around us to go on a really bad run to keep us up, and I'm not holding my breath.
As I’ve posted elsewhere this is beginning to look like the end and is mirroring the slide into the abyss under OGS
