TheGunnShow 5,972 Posted September 27, 2020 Some opinions are far less informed or indeed more blinded by hate / frustration than others. That's what good discussion should tease out. I have to admit I'm always a little irritated when the "but I'm entitled to an opinion" line is trotted out as a defence. Unless someone's explicitly saying that you shouldn't speak at all, then I can thoroughly understand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,435 Posted September 27, 2020 Fromm BBC text: Canaries boss Daniel Farke was looking increasingly frustrated before Bournemouth scored and his mood won't have been improved by going behind. A lack of quality in good attacking positions is an issue at the moment. All I can say is its his selection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 27, 2020 Rupp been our best player in this game so far. Don't know if that says more about how poor many of the rest have been, or whether he's actually a decent player. Looks like he's playing a box-to-box role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,539 Posted September 27, 2020 We just don't seem to be working to provide our important striker any chances. Give Pukki a chance and he will produce the goods a good percentage of the time. He looks alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,898 Posted September 27, 2020 Lots going through Argos. Looks dangerous. Rupp playing well. Nothing for Pukki. Having two wingers plays to Hugill or Idah's strengths rather than the GOATs. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted September 27, 2020 Rupp hasn’t been the problem today. Skipp has also played well. We just can’t get the ball to Pukki’s feet on the move, there’s no understanding or quick passes in behind. Overall though we’ve played well, not as bad-a-half as vs Preston.

sgncfc 1,235 Posted September 27, 2020 Defensively we are still shocking. In all honesty we could easily be 3-0 down. We don't have a clue how to stop people getting shots away against us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted September 27, 2020 Same old dreadful tippy, tappy powderpuff rubbish that we've seen from this team all year. It is incredibly frustrating supporting a team that is fragile at the back, ponderous/lightweight in the middle and struggles to create chances at the front all at once.

You're right about Hugill and Idah being more likely to benefit. For Pukki he needs through balls. Not sure if Rupp or Mclean do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,972 Posted September 27, 2020 Rupp's looked decent. Showing his engine's a good one as well, and got up to shoot off a lay-off from Pukki right at the end. We're still well and truly in this. Zimmermann might be looking over his shoulder at this rate. He's not started the season brilliantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having two wingers plays to Hugill or Idah's strengths rather than the GOATs. OTBC Made the point earlier, I think Hugill could be a better fit than Pukki with the players out there. Pukki is awesome when running on to through balls, and playing off the shoulder. Vrancic, Buendia, and Steipermann are perfect for him. It's frustrating that we don't get these three back together again, although I appreciate Buendia is likely to be at another club soon.
