chicken 2,604 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Home to Everton, Carrow Road, 3pm Kick-off (GMT)Videos: Articles: As per the norm, we have: 1) Pre match article from the BBC. 2) The Pink'Un presser report. 3) The canaries.co.uk build up article with Dean Smith.Ins, outs, shake it all abouts:Norwich; Gilmore (ankle), Omobamidele (back), Rupp (hamstring), Zimmermann (ankle) all remain out injured. Normann has returned to light training and Cantwell has trained the last couple of days and is back in contention. Josh Sargent returns to the squad after being absent for the birth of his first child. Hanley is playing through the pain barrier having injections on his injury.Everton: Mina, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin have returned to training following injury. Tom Davies is the only confirmed absentee at this point. Patterson and El Ghazi could make debuts with Mykolenko also in contention.A little bit of knowledge: Founded in 1878, and in that time since, they have only spent four years outside the top flight of English football. They are one of only a small group of clubs never to have been relegated from the Premier League, the others being Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and their local rivals - Liverpool. In their long history, they have played their home fixtures at four grounds, no one alive will be able to remember the first three as they moved to Goodison Park in 1892. The other three grounds were Stanley Park (1878-1882), Priory Road (1882-1884) and Anfield Road (1884-1892). Finally, their nickname is the Toffees or Toffeemen, this originates from there being two toffee shops close to their home ground - Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House and then Old Mother Nobletts Toffee Shop both claim to have been the source of this with the latter being closer to the Goodison Park ground and the former getting permission to lob free toffee into the crowd before games to help make up for lost business when they moved home stadiums. A tradition carried on to today.Pups for the CSF: Nutty Nigel has the dependable thread going here, so go join in.

chicken 2,604 Posted January 15, 2022 Sorry for not getting this in super early, best laid plans etc etc etc. Didn't realise that Sargent was missing due to the birth of his first child, so big Congratulations to him. I hope the experience has been joyous and as smooth as possible for him and his family and he can use that energy to throw at the game like Russ Martin famously did.

TheGunnShow 5,925 Posted January 15, 2022 I suppose Sörensen might wander a bit less than McLean would. And I expect Sargent will hold the ball up better than Placheta. Definitely want to see Idah kick on, he looked like a player who was finding his feet at West Ham. And you'd think Rashica would be happy having a couple of bigger lads to aim at.

chicken 2,604 Posted January 15, 2022 Radio Naaarfok saying "this is the kind of game we are expected to get something out of"... sure, more likely to than against a "top six" size. I think it's a bit disingenuous to say that Everton are one of the sides we should be seeing as on a level with us, dangerous even. Sure, we should and can believe we can get something from the game... but their history of essentially being a permanent top flight fixture speaks for itself really.

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted January 15, 2022 If the ball is on the left Sargent has to get to that far post for crosses he will be up against a Full back so might get some success from deep crosses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,925 Posted January 15, 2022 Don't think that back four for Everton looks too great. Coleman's not the player he was since he broke his leg, Mykolenko's new to the league, and Keane may be an aerial powerhouse but isn't a speed merchant in the slightest.
