Premier League 2018-19: 5 Talking Points from Game-week 29

#4. Cardiff sink deeper into the relegation quicksand

Cardiff City plunged deeper into trouble

Before a ball was kicked this season, many had earmarked Neil Warnock’s men to go down to the Championship. However, in the early part of the season, the Bluebirds showcased incredible determination to keep themselves out of the relegation zone.

Yet, as the season has progressed, the lack of attacking quality in their squad has come to the fore.

Though Cardiff was never expected to set the world ablaze with their attacking verve, the Welsh outfit’s defence was deemed reliable enough to keep them afloat.

But, a shoddy return of 57 goals conceded in 29 games has thrown that particular theory out of the window with the Bluebirds shipping 10 goals in their last three games alone.

All is not doom and gloom for Cardiff though as they are only a couple of points adrift of 17th spot. And while the Premier League has seen teams grab a safe passage from worse situations, the task on hand for the Welsh outfit just seems a step too far.

Though the Bluebirds would want to soar higher up the table, with each passing week, they are plunging deeper into trouble.
