  1. [quote user="SeattleCanary"]Agreed Stan. Jerome scored just as many as Mbokani I believe, and after last season the loyalty should''ve been a factor. Mbokani isn''t even our player, we should be utilizing the squad with 2 games in 4 days. Madness by AN.[/quote] On the chance where Jarvis shot straight at the keeper, Mbokani was screaming for the cross at the back post. If Jarvis had seen him, easy goal. He just does not get any service from our rather poor midfielders. But I agree, madness to start him 2 times in 3 days, after a tiring game at Stoke. Wes to be given 15 mins in the second half, if no good, then Redmond on, VOO in the no 10 role, and Redmond right. Jerome also to come on pretty quickly, likely a double sub alongside Redmond. And Marting will be dumped for the next game. Terrible defender at this level. Can not press, can not compete, can not block a cross. Always 3-4 yards away from his opponent due to his lack of pace. It is costing us. No use in having him as "captain" either, so a change needed. Pinto will play most games at RB from Liverpool on.
  2. [quote user="Buh"]Grefstad giving out fitness advice remotely from, basically, mordor Hilarious.[/quote] Your failure to see the lack of intenisty and work ethic in this Norwich team is pretty shocking. Midfielders strolling sround, degenders not bothering to press or put in a tackle...it''s lack of effort, and Whoscored/Opta stats show it very well for those who got the nous to read it..
  3. [quote user="Buh"]Grefstad giving out fitness advice remotely from, basically, mordor Hilarious.[/quote] I guess I can see the game just as well as you do from your shitty 2-bedroom flat
  4. Said all year the lack of running power in this team. We have a fitness problem. Been slated for it, ofcourse, but all stats show Norwich run less than any other team in the Prem, Bournemouth one of those doing most of it. Pretty visible today, at least..
  5. [quote user="Ian"]Great point Grefstad. Who would have thought that us winning a game against a relegation rival would do a lot for our survival chances?[/quote] Yeah, it''s clever. Member of the MENSA
  6. Best XI at the moment. Sadly I missed Jerome for Mbokani, but the rest was correct. Still think it is strange Mbokani starting twice in 3 days....but AN knows best. Personally I would prefer Jerome''s constant harassing in this game, as we normally play well vs Bournemouth when we play a high line, and it requires hard work from the forward to open spaces for the highlined midfield to score. But in AN we trust!
  7. Back to the topic. Sunderland play Bournemouth at home next week, and then face big teams in the form of Man C, Liverpool, Man U and also West Ham in the next weeks. A win against Bournemouth today will do a lot for our survival chances.

  9. Well, Squit, I think your history of posting in this forum ensures you will be given the title "deluded fool", with ease. Infact, you don''t have any competition at all, and in this forum, it really is quite a feat. Well done!
  10. [quote user="A Load of Squit"][quote user="morty"][quote user="wcorkcanary"]Panic??? what panic, i wasnt, honest, ....ok then, i panicked between 1326 and 1327. but only for 2 minutes.[/quote]I was watching the game before I switched back to the Sheff Wed one, and Spurs looked awful.I didn''t panic mind....[/quote] If you got a bigger TV you''d be able to watch both games on one screen*. * This theory is bought to you by the Grefstad law of TV dynamics. [/quote] Infact, I am. Watching Spurs and Sheff Wed with picture in picture...

[quote user="morty"][quote user="grefstad"]Oh, but it is all in our hands, isn''t it....?[/quote]I was taking the pi$$ out of you, if you extracted your head from your own anus, you may have spotted that....[/quote] Yeah, you seem to try to take the pi$$ out of anyone in this forum, don''t you. Give it a rest, is my excellent advice
  12. Assuming we have a wage ceiling of, let''s say 50k, I don''t think many, if any, in the current Norwich squad is on more than 40k. There is no standout player either, so I guess it is all "equal and homogenous". Such a strategy has it''s good sides (togetherness, team spirit, etc), but we will be less likely to attract the type of players that will improve us as a team (marquee signings).
  13. Oh, but it is all in our hands, isn''t it....?
  14. And Hooper scores 2-0 on the rebound from a spilled shot by the keeper.
  15. Just bundled in 1-0 for Wednesday in the derby vs Leeds....
  16. Nah, since winter solstice, the days are around 1 hour longer. Nothing to complain about, bar your constant useless posts.
  17. People need to get in their heads the cost of the entire package. If the deal is longer than 2 years, it is more likely than not that the transfer fee is way less than the cost of wages. 40k/week is 2 mill per year. For Austin, I''d imagine he is on 60-70k per week, so his 4.5 yr deal is a package worth around 15-18 mill in wages alone. We can not afford that, so this player was never likely to come to Norwich anyway.
  18. [quote user="morty"]It really is all in our hands though.Win enough games and it doesn''t matter what anyone else does.[/quote] You are right, it is, at the moment. But when we lose a few, on the trot, it is vital that the others are not gaining (too much). Therefore, hoping for more misery for Sunderland, Newcastle and Swansea can only be good for us.
  19. [quote user="morty"]I predict that if Bournemouth lose, Eddie Howe will buy Alex Neil.[/quote] Daft, dull, useless. Next
  20. If you are concerned about our chances of survival, you would pay attention to the results of teams around us, espescially those around the relegation places. Saying it "is all in our hands", even though it is correct at this point in time, is a head-in-the-sand policy longer term. Things can change quickly, and our margin of error is very slim. If teams below us lose, it''s less pressure on us to pick up points. I''d say or chances of survival is roughly 50% about ourselves, and 50% about how other teams are doing.
  21. Would also like to see VOO next to Tettey. No Dorrans or Mulumbu, please. Jerome will start, with Mbokani coming on. Howson is a roamer, and I think he will find space to score today. Rudd Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Brady VOO, Tettey Howson, Hoolahan, Jarvis Jerome Redmond to come on for either VOO or Howson, the one not subbed moves to def mid. Olsson to come in for Jarvis, with Brady moved to LW, depending on us chasing the game or protecting a lead. Mbokani for Jerome after 60-70 mins.
  22. Needless to say, it is hugely important for us that Newcastle, Swansea and Sunderland are not picking up points this weekend. Newcastle should struggle with in-form West Ham, but the late 3-3 goal vs Man U was a morale booster for Newcastle. Sunderland with a lucky 2-4 win at Swansea in midweek. Played off the park, but Swans got a man sent off, and Defoe scored a hattrick. Bow the lucky bast@rds face Tottenham in a small form blip. We need Spurs to find their feet again, as Sunderland should normally lose this game. Swansea play on Monday, and in present form, I think Watford can well get something. Draw is likely.
  23. Good age for a defender. Wolfsburg bought him for 6 mill EUR from Nurnberg, and will make a decent profit on him. Not the best defender we could get, but likely a player-type that is within our range, as the Koulibalis and Ranocchias of this world think they can get better deals and clubs.
  24. Will Jenkins fart in the couch? Wait and see. Same with Naismith. If he comes, it will ve last day if the window. Same with all players looking for a payday. They wait until the final day to see if something better comes up.
  25. Expecting a pretty open game. Should be good for roamers like Howson. Fancy him to score. Also, 4.50 (7/2) on Norwich is way good too turn down, in a rather evenly balanced game. I''d say Norwich'' chances for a win is about 30%, so 4.50 is massive overodds. Redmond should be benched. Been poor for a few weeks imho, although good vs Man U. Morty would claim he is in top form, though.... Jerome likely starting, but Mbokani will have a role to play. VOO must play. I''d drop Olsson for Brady, and Jarvis on the left wing.
