A Load of Squit 5,066 Posted November 6, 2021 I loved his "Can't wait to kick **** on the pitch" in his first interview.ย And now this from DF, "his blood is already yellow" Paddy Davitt ย @paddyjdavitt ยท 9m ย I think the pick of #ncfc DF post-match presser was his thoughts on 'General' Normann.

Mello Yello 2,265 Posted November 6, 2021 Hope Stormin' remainsย fit for at least the next 'winnable' home games against the Saints an' Wolves, he's the kind o' player that goes in where it hurts and it showed today..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Farke had any regard for him he would have brought him on to support Aarons who was being targeted due to his lack of height.ย There's the rub.ย Farke has his opinion, I have mine!ย At the moment Farke wins, but if I had my way etc.ย Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From myย limited view of him last season, he has the air of a Bobby Moore.ย Composed, reads the game well, but isn't very "dynamic".ย For some reason Farke prefers McLean's energetic headless chicken routine in the hope he's a box to box.ย But in a 4-2-3-1 who knows who is better, McLean or Sorenson? My money is still on the latter, but the proof is in the eating. Edited November 6, 2021 by shefcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Green Army 236 Posted November 6, 2021 I wonder whereย Skipp fitsย in at Spurs now thatย Conte is in charge. Any chance we could get him in January. Skipp/Norman/Les Melou would be a tidy midfield three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,455 Posted November 6, 2021 He's a proper talent, easily the best player we've signed this summer.ย 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 309 Posted November 6, 2021 I also thought Raschia looked very tidy today too. He seems to be getting up to speed and offers that little something unpredictable, shown by his run leading to Norman's goal. Most of our players would have played an easy ball back to Williams rather than the nice little bit of skill that bamboozled the Brighton right back that gave him the chance to put in the cross. He did visibly tire towards the end, but he hasn't had a run of games starting yet.ย ย ย 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel that Gilmour will go back in January tbh, it doesn't appear to have been a match that has worked and whereas Man Utd will be happy with the terms of William's loan, Chelsea will fail they will get better playing time for him somewhere else.

RobJames 828 Posted November 6, 2021 What we are seeing is the players Farke knew they could become. And as well as those mentioned above, Omobamidele has really stepped up. As good as Godfrey I would suggest. I suspect Gilmour and Cantwell would have struggled today. The Pl is becoming more physical by the game. Now let's see Sargeant and Tzolis step up.

Put us under so much pressure with awful passing.ย ย ย That's true but he's got real talent of that there is zero doubt.

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted November 7, 2021 He's brilliant and probably our best player, but I can't help but wonder if he's carrying a bit too much muscle for a midfielder in the PL because he seems to go down with cramp and get little muscle injuries every game. It's one thing being a natural tank like Lukaku butย in the past Normann was quite skinny so he's obviously worked to build up that frame which means his ligaments and joints are under more pressure than they would be usually and obviously he's going to be more susceptible to tears and strainsย I'm not sure it's totally the ideal type for a footballer, I worry every game when he goes down that he's injured himself. Anyway if we can keep him fit all season and the new manager gets us playing better then we'll have a great chance of staying up, but I'm still haunted by memories of other PLย campaigns being ruined by injuries to our best players and he worries me tbh.ย Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
