Google Bot 3,329 Posted July 25, 2023 Loving the press. And despite the possession they give up at times, I do like the concept of Rowe and PP down that side too, doubling up in both directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,760 Posted July 25, 2023 It's so hard to really tell anything from pre-season but so far been pleasing to see a solid defensive shape even without that elusive CDM. Wagner seems to have got his high-press instructions finally working with our squad too, which is something. Whether that actually materialises itself in competitive matches we all wait and see of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Satriales 697 Posted July 25, 2023 Is Placheta a lot slower than when he first joined? Pace seems to have gone and that was one of his positive attributes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly, still looks quick and lively post injury from what i've seen of pre season. He is the type of player who will likely do better at left back.

TheGunnShow 6,019 Posted July 25, 2023 If we're becoming harder to beat, more physically robust and flintier in the tackle then I don't think this is a bad thing considering the soft underbellies of previous Norwich sides. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,468 Posted July 25, 2023 Yeah, looking far stronger both physically and structurally. Just have to hope the addition of Sara, Sainz and Fassnacht can bring some more goal threat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems as though wide man and fullback are doubling up going forwards and in defence, in possession we're having a back 3 but it's differing with each play. You'd say he was still at LB as he's forming the left of that three at times, but then other times going down the wing. Rowe and PP first very much the same first half, defensively they were working in pairs. It's an interesting watch working out the dynamics for sure, I don't get people who say this is boring.

Dean Coneys boots 1,406 Posted July 25, 2023 Turgid stuff. Better defensively but no creativity or threat at all up front. Going to be a long season I fear. Also idah hasn’t improved 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
