I thought we were singing 'Leitner, Buendia and Krul' this season tbh.

Sadly I don't think it works like that.

So both of our physical defensive midfielders having to play CB hasn't caused us to be less combative in midfield? I'd also argue that with a more solid back line we'd be able to play out from the back more successful which was of course our big strength last season.

Zim, Klose and Hernandez - arguably 3 of our most important players were injured going into the season. Not laying our current position all on this but I doubt our own momentum would have been killed so badly if this hadn't been the case.

It's almost as if we were on our 6th choice central defender today.

Maybe he's just ****.

Bloody hell.

It's over. Oh well.

Assuming the op goes well I would think he'd be back for Bournemouth. Certainly United. Suppose he'll be taking pain killer injections to get through tomorrow.

Pretty sure he's been playing with a 'niggle', club have probably stopped him going so he can fully recover from that.

Physicality again. Imagine it would be different with Zim in defence and Amadou/Hernandez in midfield but obviously that can't be the case. As Norwich are sticking to their own blueprint we won't be signing a bunch of 6 foot 3 cloggers in January, thankfully. Hopefully the Carrow Road crowd picks up from where it left off last time. Treat the Villa game like it's an end of season 6 pointer.

About as good a lineup as we could have hoped for today. Come on City.

Wonder where this leaves us then. Hanley back in with Amadou moving into midfield?

Should have brought on Becchio.
