Drazen Muzinic 1,421 Posted October 2, 2021 That ball from Normann to Aarons was class. But that lack of confidence meant nothing came of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,811 Posted October 2, 2021 Just now, Capt. Pants said: Don't think Pukki and Sargent have developed a partnership yet. It will come. Agreed, but I'm also thinking in terms of when the likes of Rashica and Tzolis can be unleashed off the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jsim1986 149 Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) I don't really understand the two up top in this formation, would prefer have an extra midfielder so at least we don't get over run in Midfield. I just don't understand the game plan we are playing Burnley ffs Edited October 2, 2021 by Jsim1986 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't meant as a sleight - Elmander had many good qualities (and scored one of the PLs most underrated goals), but he wasn't prolific 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,421 Posted October 2, 2021 Half time couldn't come soon enough. A breather, a regroup and hopefully Farke has read enough from the first half to at least keep this point and hopefully take all three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,456 Posted October 2, 2021 Sounds workman-like and not very entertaining but I'm ok with that for now. A hard fought point is much needed if we can keep it up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted October 2, 2021 OK first half; matched them up well. Not a lot going forward. Would settle for 0-0 and a first point of the season. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaltimoreBird 127 Posted October 2, 2021 Way too easy for Burnley to get their corners in. Something has to change otherwise they'll be sure to take their chance, or we'll fail to deal with one and leave it to a VAR decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,811 Posted October 2, 2021 If we get the stroke of luck and go on to win this, it could really energise the team. Burnley have dragged us into their kind of match, but we're meeting them head on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,175 Posted October 2, 2021 Scrappy, one dimensional and downright agricultural. The most likely I’ve seen us to take points so far, I approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted October 2, 2021 It takes Norwich loads of time to get the ball into even their half, yet one quick pass from Burnley and they're already around our box threatening a dangerous cross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,520 Posted October 2, 2021 Glad the break has come as Burnley were starting to get into the groove. Feel like it's Tzolis and Rashica time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirku 1,331 Posted October 2, 2021 Tzolis to come on, snatch the inevitable penalty from Pukki and rabona Panenka it home in the 93rd minute, reducing Farke to tears. You heard it here first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlad666 202 Posted October 2, 2021 Sargent off for tzolis. I know it’s early days but I just don’t see what Sargent offers apart from work rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
