king canary 7,654 Posted February 9, 2022 Weird first half. At 30 minutes I felt we were unlucky not to be further ahead. At halftime I'm feeling glad we hung on to the lead. We look much more competent now but I hope we don't spend 45 minutes trying to hold onto a one goal lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,459 Posted February 9, 2022 Continue like this and it's a draw or 1:2 Palace. I'm voting for playing for the same and trying to hold out the lead and see how it's going after 70mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 9, 2022 Not at all convinced by that first half performance to be honest, chasing shadows most of the half. Placheta has really struggled, we’ve definitely missed Sargent. Hope we can put in a better shift second half because I don’t think we’ll hold on another 45 of pressure. Feels like a game we probably need a second goal to win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,778 Posted February 9, 2022 Time for Normann in the middle. Half time could not come at a better time Palace realy were starting to domiate. Pretty sure it's around 70 percent possestion and they have over double the number of passes we have made too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 517 Posted February 9, 2022 Very good performance first half. Different to what we are used to but committed and effective. The odd mistake, understandable at this pace, but overall great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted February 9, 2022 Palace controlling the game, but we look dangerous. Pukki should have taken that chance. Rashica playing really well. All in all not too shabby against a pretty talented Palace team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,898 Posted February 9, 2022 Got to get at them more in the 2nd half or we're going to concede; it will be very difficult to resist that level of constant pressure for 45 minutes. It's 1-0 though and a real chance for another great result. COME ON YOU YELLLLLLLLLLOWS! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobozilla 20 Posted February 9, 2022 I suspect we'll take off Idah and bring on Normann around 70mins if the scoreline stays the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 99 Posted February 9, 2022 Fantastic start and we've had the better chances but the game did start to leave us as the half went on, think we just need to keep hold of the ball alot better and just calm things down from time to time, I love that we are trying to burst forward with pace but it has led to alot of needless giveaways. Apart from that we are bloody winning again, what a mentality shift we've had in this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,778 Posted February 9, 2022 Did Palace this half remind anyone of us under farke at times? Had all the possestion, passed it around well and got tons of passes in yet did nothing with it and were toothless up front.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,339 Posted February 9, 2022 Strange half. Should be two up. Look threatening on the break but the quality of some of our play going forward is horrendously poor. Need to improve on the ball and keep it better to win this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,514 Posted February 9, 2022 More aggression than I've seen from a Norwich side for ages. Great to see. Must stop taking chances at the back though. Not always the best time to try fancy short range passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because we're winning for a reason and Idah to Pukki is it. Take him off and you change the picture, we go from attacking or counter attacking to 3 midfielders shutting out Palace for 45mins... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
