TheGunnShow 6,154 Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Serinus Canaria Domestica said: This would explain the beyond belief CB pairing if it was not for Batth sitting there on the bench! Assuming that Jayden Warner was meant to start before an injury kicked in…. Exactly my thinking, and especially with the tweet @cambridgeshire canary put in. I think Warner was initially lined up, twanged something late and Wagner's decided he wants a left-footer in at centre-half, so went for McLean. Might work. McLean's good in the air and keeping him in a back four might stop him ruining our midfield shape by chasing one that's not on. Might go horribly Pete Tong though. EDIT: I mean, Lungi made himself popular by going in at left-back in Farke's second Championship-winning season and no-one saw that coming that day at Brentford.

Regardless, it looks like a last roll of the dice. I Think kenny could be a great sweeper if we were to play a 5 at the back , Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worthy Nigelton 1,099 Posted December 3, 2023 I don't even know what to say about that line up. If you want to play Kenny at all,that is questionable. At centre half it's probably the most bizarre decision I've ever seen by a Norwich manager. And then to drop Batth and keep Duffy in. Words fail me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry53 218 Posted December 3, 2023 Why did we sign Sainz? Batth praised for his recent games gets dropped. Onel who had a shocker starts ahead of anyone!!!!! Nunez as main striker (oh give me strength!!!) Idah given a 5 year contract by Webber, but obviously no one believes in him. We may well win, but this line up doesn't give me confidence. DW seems desperate to try literally anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 124 Posted December 3, 2023 OMG.that is a bold and yet mystifying team selection. Regardless of the result that really does beg an explanation. I just wish the EDP reporters would put him on the spot and ask him outright some of the questions posed on this forum. The choice of Hernandez over Sainz,Duffy/McLean over Batth/McLean (even why McLean) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,317 Posted December 3, 2023 We’ve seen him drop McClean back to CB during games with mixed results. On paper it should give us control to play out so it’s sacrificing defensive solidity (let’s face it we have none anyway) for effectively an extra Midfielder when we have the ball. It’s an incredible gamble, **** or bust for Wagner I guess. Regardless of result this is unsustainable though, anyone can see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
