Eastonpromise 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Am I the only person who is not to concerned about some of the tactics Norwich have been playing this season. Let me explain the one scenario I am talking about.Norwich have posession and are pressing forward, get to the penalty area and hit a wall of defence, now rather than try and force there way through they pass back to halfway line and attempt to attack from other side and try again. I have no issue with this, but it seems the people around me tend to moan about it and shout at the players saying they don''t know what they doing, and how we going to win with tactics like that - I would rather we kept possession than lose it and get caught on the fast counter attack. How many times in the premiership did we see Norwich play well but lose to teams who had 2 shots and 2 goals simply because they were doing exactly what i said above.Comments please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Personally I think it is the right tactics to use. If we can''t get through a wall of defence I''d rather we played the ball backwards or sideways than lost the ball or hoofed it forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as you say Id rather we kept hold of the ball, let the opposition chase us about, and not get caught on the counter-attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheded 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Interesting point Easton ! and I , too , have vented some frustration when I see us bouncing off a solid defence .. the tactical purists will probably wince at this , but , Hey , its a simple game really ! all thats required is to get the ball into the net , and you don`t do that by passing back to the halfway line ! penetration [ if you`ll excuse the expression ] comes [ ! ] from getting bodies into the box , having just one or two of our strikers battling against , say , eight or nine defenders , is really asking to lose the ball ! more goals are made from a goalmouth ding dong scrap ..... Breakaways can be catered for by a sweeper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That must mean that EVERYONE else on here is concerned about our tactics. And I thought we had started on a fairly good run of form, but it must just be me.

Bear in mind that the second goal against Plymouth came from a long string of passes and the ball was moved about until the right opening appeared.I''d rather see a patient build-up with a quality finish than just sticking the ball in the box when the defenders are all in position and marking our players.However I do think we''re a little too slow sometimes. On a few occasions I''ve though that we break quickly to the edge of their box then stop, turn, wait for other players to get up and support the attack, by which time the opposition defence is all back in position.So when we are breaking I''d like to see more support from midfield so that we can create a better chance from it, but I/we can''t have it both ways. Actually I don''t care, provided we score more than the opposition. First half against Hull-type performances are a bonus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
