Norwich City vs Millwall (away) Tuesday 2nd February

6pm kick off!

Farke saying Aarons is okay, Mclean should return, no new injury concerns.

Annoyingly not gonna be free on iFollow, as this fixture was originally a Saturday game but has been re-arranged to midweek. Bit annoying.

Team I'd pick:

Krul
Aarons Hanley Gibson Giannoulis
Skipp Sorenson
Cantwell McLean Placheta
Pukki
​

Huge game this. Ideally we need to take 4 points from the next 2 games, and with the Swansea match set to be a really tough one, it's really important we get all 3 points here. More dropped points really opens the door for the teams below us. What does worry me is that Millwall are proper draw specialists, and I can see them frustrating us like they did at Carrow Road, particularly without Buendia.

Placheta needs to get his act together. His end product is almost zilch. We can't afford many, if any more near misses from him. Very disappointing player. I know he's been out for a while but still.......................

Placheta needs to get his act together. His end product is almost zilch. We can't afford many, if any more near misses from him. Very disappointing player. I know he's been out for a while but

Perspective old boy, Placheta is judged by the manager and has to follow directions from the manager.

Those instructions are to retain possession at all costs, pass back to Gibbo & Krul if you like but don't lose possession.

We might want him to stride up to the byline and cross the ball to the penalty spot ten times a game, but Farke doesn't want that.
Hence we have Arrons on the right, constantly cutting inside to pass to a midfielder, defender or Krul.

It's more the Row Z that's getting on my wick tbh.

Farke looked as though he couldn't care less. Seemed happy with goalless draw. To me , Pukki, Cantwell and Vrancic, were totally crap, all playing in oversized wellies tied together. Totally toothless. At least , I didn't waste too much sipping stuff. Wouldn't bothered me if all three were subbe3d after 30

So you didn't enjoy it Gerry?

 

[morty]

Shit pitch and they totally bullied Cantwell out of the game, he should have been hooked at half time. And we are very wasteful in front of goal just now, it is starting to worry me. When we were bang in form I kept predicting that we were going to absolutely muller someone, and it has just never come. The midfielders need to start wading in with a few goals. Also we need to sort out the number 10 position, neither Stiepi (injured anyway) or Dowell are really grabbing it. Vrancic is not a 10, and plays a much better game deeper. We just had no sparkle tonight with Emi missing.

But, we didn't lose, I guess.

Fenway. It's difficult to enjoy good sipping stuff whilst trying to be enthusiastic about our attacking force. Idah played well didn't he. I know he's been ill/ injured, but I think farke is taking the urine with a two minute appearance
