Recommended Posts

That sequence of attacking play from Norwich must have terrified you Lincoln! Try and keep calm!

Decent half there from Norwich. Sunderland have had more possession, as expected when a 4-3-3 meets a 4-4-2, but Norwich have probably had the better chances. Sunderland have had plenty of shots, but only one inside the box. Norwich''s quick retreat into it''s very good defensive shape has seen Sunderland struggle to actually create that many dangerous chances. Their most dangerous chance came via a long-ball from a free kick and a header back across.
Norwich have looked slightly better offensively, at the very least they have looked capable of creating chances. Hooper should''ve done better following decent build-up play down the left that led to a Olsson cross. That particular passage of play showed the difference between Norwich and Sunderland. When Sunderland came up against defensive resistance, they struggled to maneuver the ball and often relied on long-range efforts. Norwich, however, looked comfortable maneuvering the ball from side-to-side and trying to find a way through Sunderland''s defence. Redmond and Hooper also had decent long-range chances and Fer probably should''ve finished from the edge of the area just before the half ended.

Not sure inverted wingers and two up front is compatible. Surely if you''re playing two strikers you focus on crossing and play conventional wingers? Inverted wingers is far more effective with a central striker and a player linking the midfield. Saw an article last week saying this tactic is why Spurs were struggling with the same article also questioning our tactics

Arguably their biggest game of the season so far, at home and this is the best Sunderland can come up with? ...Bye bye and make sure you take 3 points at Portman Road next season!

We''re doing okay so far, 6/10''s across the board, we should win this!
