The Great Mass Debater 1,081 Posted August 17, 2019 Watched Newcastlle last week and thought they showed very little. Seen nothing so far to change my opinion and hoping it stays that way. Numerous teams in the Championship showed more based of that half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirku 1,332 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) 69% possession at HT. Keep it up lads. Could've had more than the 1 goal, but Joelinton missed an absolute sitter of a header. If he's worth £40m... Edited August 17, 2019 by kirku Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted August 17, 2019 Great first half, Godfrey immense and the two wingbacks boy, Lewis & Aarons are going to be some players, if only they can stay for the next few years this side could push top 10 with a few subtle additions. Leitner and all having a good game, very good passing, control and movement. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the way we're just going for it - a win will come if we keep this going, our fitness will tell. That was Joelinton, not Almiron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 17, 2019 This is probably the most skillful Norwich team there has ever been. They are a joy to watch and a real credit to the club. The first 20 minutes were so one sided and so slick and our movement is as good as any top team. And what a goal to add another couple of million onto Pukki's value. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The positive is that when we do lose possession we hunt the ball down voraciously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted August 17, 2019 Great first half, at times it felt like as if it was last season in the Champs. Pukki's finnish is second to none. Another goal could put this game to bed... OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hepphep 175 Posted August 17, 2019 Now, thats some sexy football! Lewis been really good going forward as he was againz Lpool already. Godfrey been rock solid. Leitner makes the team tick and Cantwell has taken such a step up this year. And Pukki is Pukki. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,081 Posted August 17, 2019 I wonder if Amadou will help with defending at set pieces. Main weakness we have is the lack of big units. Aside from our centrebacks most of our other players are slight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
