[Toffeelover]

No walkover, Cardiff very resilient. 3 points and a clean sheet.

Last on motd tonight?

These are the matches we would draw or lose in past years. Scrappy, hard fought wins are a nice change from previous teams.

Hopefully by the end of the season these nervy games against weaker sides become celebration goalfests. Least we are still winning.

 

[Toffeelover]

That Coleman pen he will live on thst, but it was a nailed on pen..

Spot on, we were lucky.

Great Saturday night. Henderson won't be playing against us as well. Let's win that derby with this confidence, shall we? COYB

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Keane was really good. Gomes was excellent as well. Really was a shame we didn't score more and really didn't like the opportunities given at the end. We just struggle to keep the ball at times and pick other teams apart when it's there for us. Part of that is familiarity, but we have to be more composed.

Great battling the 3 points even though my arse was gone at the end!

 

[peteblue]

Hey were in the top six!

But of course.....

Terrible game but 3 points is 3 points so NEA

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Keane and mina class. Poor game on the whole, so wasteful on our end. Lookman fantastic once he came on should have scored and got an assist from tosun. 3 points 6 place as it stands. Absolutely no doubt we would have drawn that game at best last season.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Actually did what needed to be done, which is about three quarters of the battle with Everton

 

[deipnosophist]

we played pretty well, and Cardiff were resolute. Happy with the 3 pts

 

[cromofo]

Lookman HAS to start.
Gomes HAS to be signed.

Gueye once again superb

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Lackluster game after the International break. Not happy with the effort but happy about a three pointer.
