norwichsteve 1 Posted August 20, 2019 So far so good. Do we change for anyone? The Liverpool game leads me to believe we don't. Man City is another level above them. I think we'll probably sit in more for them. I think we will average about 51% possession this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted August 20, 2019 Welcome steve, I'm not big on stats tbh, I'm happy for us to give it our best shot, as long as we give it 100% I don't think that anyone will complain. So far we've played the best Team in Europe and the worst Team in the Premier League, so it's difficult to gauge where we are. One thing I will say is that we have momentum and a feel good factor around the Club which will carry us beyond Man City, regardless of results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,190 Posted August 20, 2019 Not convinced that if we had more than 2 fit cbs against Liverpool we wouldn’t have played 5 at the back. Would love to be proved wrong but I am guessing if we play this way against Man City we could be in for a right beating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DF/SW have said that we might get some beatings this season but we will not be changing our philosophy, I'm good with that. Man City will not define our season, the reason they're Champions is that they beat everybody, so we may as well go out, enjoy the challenge, in the knowledge that no other Club is likely to do any better.

I just hope we go out and play with the same attacking style against them too. It's great to watch and, as the top men have said, we won't be changing our style. At least that would ensure that Pep doesn't have to have a quiet 'word' with any of our players 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted August 20, 2019 I’ve got to say that Newcastle didn’t look the ‘worst team in the PL’ against Arsenal? Maybe we just made them look that bad because we were so dominant? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norwichsteve 1 Posted August 20, 2019 I think outside of the top 6 and Leicester, we look to be the most comfortable side in possession in the league and play some of the best football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely one of those free hits ..by all means have a go at home but away, would like us to park a Mourinho style bus and keep the goal difference down. Perhaps hit them late to get a point or 3. Wonder how many points our support will be worth this season, especially at home! OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
