They're causing themselves so many issues trying to play it out from the back and City are just setting traps, they're closing them down really well. Norwich aren't really doing themselves any favours. Keeping faith in the system is potentially foolhardy or alternatively will pay dividends against weaker teams 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,899 Posted August 21, 2021 We need to calm it down; we look like startled rabbits at times. These two opening games won't define our season but we are making this very easy for them. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,155 Posted August 21, 2021 For all the talk of lessons learned it's very clear that we haven't learned a damn thing. I know it's Man City but they wouldn't be doing this to Watford/Brentford/Brighton etc. We're still trying to tippy tap it around our own penalty box, still not getting back to defend counter attacks, still getting skinned after leaving our FB exposed, still leaving Pukki alone and isolated. Just so poor, why we didn't play Sargent so we had an out ball I have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 857 Posted August 21, 2021 We fouled 4 times last week to Liverpools 14.... if ever there are games where we need to win the foul count, its against the top teams to disrupt there play.... Man City have control of the ball yet we only have one foul after 27 minutes.... to their 3...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just say “but it’s Man City” to replace “but it’s Liverpool” last week and keep pretending selling our most creative player and not replacing skipp or upgrading the defence hasn’t left us totally outclassed in this division… Webber knows that we need defensive reinforcement, Farke knows that we need it, I know it, you know it.
