The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted December 8, 2019 5 minutes ago, Jim Smith said: The way we start the second half in almost every game is a huge problem and this is one I think can be laid at Farke's door. It nearly always takes us 10 minutes to get going after half time and we just come out sitting off and passive.. It really f**ks me off and today has completely turned the game on its head after we had worked so hard. That, and zonal marking need sorting out badly. Every week, no progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted December 8, 2019 This is not a one off after half time. It happens in nearly all of our games and we did it against Arsenal as well before waking up when they scored. Sometimes we get away with it and others we do not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need a spark from somewhere otherwise it just seems like we are waiting for the last 10 mins when they will inevitably start sitting back. Â We only really have two leaders. Zimmermann and Krul.

Mentally we dont look like we have it in us. Players like Arrons and Godfrey and Pukki may well have it at the back of their minds that they will soon be off to a bigger club. Not that they are at fault personally, but in terms of where they are mentally, Norwich survivng relegation perhaps isnt that relevant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted December 8, 2019 Laughable second half performance against a team we were better than last season and even in this first half. There’s no chance of this team staying in this league 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted December 8, 2019 This defensive back four were lightweight last season and proving so again this season. Apart from Zimm, Tettey n pukki we havent got fight, quality or physical presence on the pitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted December 8, 2019 Financially we're set up to yoyo. Im not too concerned if we go down. Its coming up again where the concern lies. Arrons, possibly Lewis, Godfrey, Pukki and Buendia will all want to move on. We'll probably receive a pretty penny for them, but of course we have to replace them. Pukki was a fluke, unlikley we'd be ablt to attract someone of his calibre to replace him, and without a goalscorer we will struggle. If we can keep Byram we can probably survive losing Max. But a reliable goalscorer is crucial and not dependent on simply having money to replace him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
