    Maddison has performed at top PL level. In his first season in said company Buendia did not. Far too early to make the assertion that Maddison is 'not even close' to Buendia. I think that's a ludicrous suggestion. As Midlands Yellow has correctly mentioned, Buendia's dead ball delivery is, er. not very good. Maddison was / is an expert in those requirements. 'For sure' Buendia is a special talent at this level. Time will tell whether he can produce similar in the PL and / or European football. 

    Yeah,  Maddison is good on the set pieces. But Buendia can play in more areas and he does more for the team. Maddison is good at what he does but he's more limited. Buendia is a much better all round footballer and actually I don't think that should be hard to see.


  2. Sometimes England matches aren't the most exciting but Norwich have served up their fair share of dross over the years. I didn't stop supporting Norwich when they were sh*t, so why would I stop supporting England?

     

    And, actually, England are now a pretty good side. Easily one of the top international teams. I don't always agree with what Southgate does but it could be a lot worse.

    Nice guy, good motivator but don't think he'll ever be more than a mid table Championship manager.

    Yeah, I've always thought the Norwich job was likely to be as good as it got for him.

     

    Right place at the right time when we got promoted but I thought it became clear pretty soon into the Prem season that he lacked the nous at the higher end.

    From what I know only good thing about Coady is that while he does seem like a rather average centreback,  he has real leadership skills on the pitch, very good captain for Wolves.

     

    Still feels criminal that neither Dunk nor Tarkowski have been called up.

    Coady is a really good passer of the ball. Probably only Stones is better.

     

    I'd pick all of them ahead of Dunk and Tarkowski. Would probably pick Keane over them too.

     

    Apart from Dier. He's a good player but his lack of pace gets him caught out too much by the better operators. He's clearly a manager's favourite though.

     

    Similar for Trippier. Yeah, he produces a good ball when you give him time and space but he's not great in one on one defending against top players and his lack of pace is limiting at both ends of the pitch.

    Ultimately Maddison is the more all round player,

    but Buendia is capable of individual moments which can quite literally take your breath away 

    Would suggest that actually Buendia is the more all-round. Maddison is better on the dead balls but Buendia can play in more areas of the pitch and does more for the team.


  6. It's quite a hard position to play, I think. And, although maybe not always the most stylish player, Stiepi has shown that he is effective in this division.

     

    I'd argue that we might have put up a greater fight in the Prem (would still have got relegated) had he been in the team more because of the understanding between him and the other attackers.

     

    In my opinion it doesn't totally suit Vrancic but he's still creating chances, creates angles for others and he's getting chances on goal himself. It'd be more of a concern if he wasn't getting chances to score but we know he's a good finisher so he'll get there.

    I'll never understand this barely disguised delight that a player who came through our academy, gave us his all and was sold for a very good price is struggling. Same with the Murphy's.

    Personally I feel sorry for Lewis right now and wish he was thriving. I'm sure in the right environment he will.

    Indeed. Yet players like Maddison (who only really turned out for us for one season) and Godfrey are still very much supported.
