I'm no fan of the Premier League, and VAR and all that comes with it, but we were unlucky yesterday and more than matched a team with top 4 aspirations. So "weakened" were they that they brought on one £25m substitute in the first half and another one in the second. Leicester scored two decent goals we perhaps could have defended better, but to give up on this team so quickly when Farke hasn't even got his squad sorted out yet is mindbogglingly defeatist. Stop listening to the pundits and the journalists - they know very little about anyone outside the top 6 and in particular they know almost nothing about Norwich City. People in the game itself know what we are doing and how well we are doing it. We have bought and loaned in good players; players collectively better than what we had. Our squad is stronger than ever before. Clearly, our midfield still needs attention and it is getting it. I still think we were not quite at it physically because of the disrupted pre-season and our two centre backs (Hanley in particular) looked absolutely shattered. They will get up to speed. Williams will settle down. Rashica will be a top player; so will Tzolis, and both Sargent and Idah looked strong and powerful when they came on. I have no doubt that a rejuvenated Arsenal will turn us over because that's the way of the world, but the four games after that is when we can pick up points. If we are still on 0 after the first 8, we might have a problem, but we don't have one yet. 'might' have a problem! Blimey - if that horror scenario were to unfold then Herr Farke should be shown the door very smartly. Won't happen of course (him being shown the door I mean). You're right about those next four games but we need three wins from those to get back to approx. a point a game which (normally) just about keeps you up.

ROBFLECK 132 Posted August 29, 2021 I think we will go down, confidence and a good start are vital ... what we saw yesterday was abysmal defending and no creativity.... Not singling out any one in particular, it's just not good enough. Hope DF can work wonders and turn it around, but I'm afraid I can't see it happening. Yet miracle's have happened, fingers crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we are still on 0 after the first 8, we might have a problem, but we don't have one yet. Such a good post that it doesn't need any more to be said, but... Lees-Melou and Pukki were both shattered after about 55 minutes, one because he is post-COVID and the other because he is getting up to the speed of this level. L-M is likely to step down with new arrival(s). We have seemingly strengthened since Saturday with the arrival of Normann. We need to strengthen in central defence - Omabamidele is getting close to being a first choice and we seem to be in pursuit of another (better) player. Our distribution from the back will improve greatly if and when Gunn takes over from Tim Krul. So, why the misery? We are giving it a good shot this time, as promised. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corbs 147 Posted August 30, 2021 Watched the old gold yesterday, wasn’t aware that they hadn’t got a point prior to the game. I’m not an avid premiership fan, only support us. I was at the Orient on Saturday, my local club. Adama was v good, Wolves made United look listless and fragile. United got the result via the type of error that happens. If I was a Wolves fan I’d be very pleased with that type of performance. In the cold Light of day, nil points, but like us everything to play for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
