Cardiff will struggle to stay up
Cardiff played some good football in the opening half hour as they went ahead twice, but their failure to keep Liverpool at bay meant that they suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Reds today. The result leaves Cardiff firmly in place, second from bottom, and they have a real fight on their hands till the end of the season if they are to stay up.
They have brought in a few players in January in a bid to enhance the squad and help avoid the drop. So far, they have had little impact as manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer opted to keep the likes of Kenwyne Jones and Wilfried Zaha on the bench instead of starting with them. He will have to start coming up with some results if Cardiff are to avoid the drop.
