rock bus 854 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I know Fassnacht has had a couple of ropey games but he is a far better class than Hernandez and gibbs. wagner does seem to make some very weird decisions Edited October 21, 2023 by rock bus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, Baatth starting could unbalance the cb pairing, but you’d think he in particular must be a close call; Sainz is surely a starter but perhaps not completely ready for a full blooded Champs 90 minutes. My point was that I don’t see too much wrong with the starting XI, not that it would definitely be my choice. It just seems to me that everyone gets their criticism in an hour before they’ve even seen how we are setting up - I’d prefer to see how it pans out. This is a thread about the match where people are giving their opinions on the team selection. So yeah it is of course a matter of opinion or not fact. This is the purpose of a forum.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 21, 2023 I am baffled. What does it take for Sainz to start? Even if he isn't completely fit surely he can start and come off if necessary. And I just cannot see the point of Sara so deep again when he played forward we looked better and he scored twice. Baffled. Cannot warm to Wagner. He is just putting out the same tactic game after game when it hardly has a legacy of success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,946 Posted October 21, 2023 We should all be chomping at the bit at this chance to get one over Farke (in a friendly way). Instead the mood on here is already pretty funereal. This isn't an attack on fellow posters - I don't feel at all optimistic either. It just shows how far we have fallen as a club over the last two years, the bulk of which I personally put down to Webber and Dean Smith. The worrying thing is that fewer and fewer of us seem to see Wagner as the answer any longer, and I'd be surprised if this doesn't start to be reflected in the home crowd again, compounding the problem. If only we could see a good performance today and a good result. We all need a pick-me-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really worries me that Wagner doesn’t want to use Nunez. I know he’s inconsistent, but can be a match winner on his day. Bar Sara, no match winners on the pitch today. The experience of Batth wouldn’t go a miss. Is Wagner afraid to drop certain players? Edited October 21, 2023 by Creedence Clearwater Couto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldy09 160 Posted October 21, 2023 How long in the match before Gibson mess up and a goal conceded , Idah goes missing , my score prediction is 3-1 to Leeds -hope IM wrong but city performances nowadays don't fill one with confidence- Got feeling the Fans will be furious after the match how the game went Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's sad that when Farke spoke about todays match he talked about when he first came to Norwich and the club/Norwich was midtable with a team of misfits on too high wages with negative attitudes around the club with debts popping up and club finances having been misspent and the club having an uncertain direction and future given that sounds a whole lot like what state this club is in right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely you must be disappointed not to see Sainz starting? Yes and no - he’s been injured, perhaps he’s not ready to start a full-blooded Champs game. There’s a huge difference between u21 run outs and playing a top Champs side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct he did and what a Signing Farke was Webber deserves all the credit for that , It was a perfect storm ,success , good signings ,clearing debt , playing great football , Not been the same since he was sacked though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
