Bluefloyd 58 Posted December 11, 2021 To be fair Todd did struggle to get involved and looked every bit as rusty as you' could expect of someone who's been out of the side for so long. That said, the other 'stand-ins', placheta, sorenson, kabak all had decent games and looked at home, no evident rustiness. Todd lost the ball on a couple of occasions even with the limited touches, one tidy trick led to a loose touch, but generally looked well off the pace. he did win the 2 free kicks that infuriated man u and lead to decent chances. Not sure why he looks such a shadow of himself and the player we know he can be. Seems to have totally lost the mojo. Placheta looked the more accomplished player today, if you'd said that last season you'd get laughed out of the city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He featured in the first five games this season for the first team, the last of those being on the 18th September. He was then out of the first team until Dean Smith picked him for the Southampton game on 20th November. So that's two months, which to be fair is quite a long time. But he actually played a full 90 minutes for the U23's on 22nd October, and then another full 90 on 5th November. So he basically had a month out. Loads of players miss a month with a hamstring injury or whatever, but it doesn't take this much effort to shake off the rust does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 662 Posted December 11, 2021 Cantwell won't be at Norwich much longer - his attitude stinks. Gutted we didn't cash in on him when his stock was high because we will get a fraction of that for him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were an older player perhaps missing a month impacts you more as it messes with routine and recovery times and its easier to put on a few pounds. But I'd have thought a 23 year old with no weight issues would be able to get themselves in tip top shape after a few weeks hitting the gym hard?

Your posts on here m case study into unhealthy obsession. We will never know the root cause of your obsession, Pugin, Todd Cantwell has told everybody that he has no mental health problems. I'm just saying that if he were suffering from mental health issues then that would be a mitigating factor for his lack of impact this season. Some seem to want to use mental health as a mitigating factor for Cantwell's lack of impact, and I'm just saying that this is very odd considering the man himself has very firmly stated that under no uncertain terms is he suffering from mental health issues. In light of the fact that he isn't suffering from mental health issues, I'll just assume he has fallen out of love with football. Edited December 12, 2021 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placheta looked the more accomplished player today, if you'd said that last season you'd get laughed out of the city. Todd is quite a limited player atheltically to begin with. When he plays well he does it quite beautifully. Weaving around, doing little tricks, dribbles one-twos and cute passes. He engages in the game in a very complicated way. It makes sense that this type of flow cant just be activated with the flick of a switch. He lost his focus for a while, was injured. With his style of play you cant just "turn it on" again. It could also be that despite the change of manager he hasnt refound his focus yet. Lets hope that is not the case and that he can find his best football again. Norwich need him at his best to survive in the league. Either that or Placheta to step up even further. I think this might have been Placheta's best display in a Norwich shirt. Although he did look good in a game for Norwich early last season where he almost scored off a Pukki pass at the end Edited December 12, 2021 by shruk4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
