Matt Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Enjoyed that, well done Norwich for sticking to your game, playing in your style, not trying to copy how Man City play like most teams nowadays. Norwich mixed it up with many styles in that game, not just a one trick pony playing in one solid style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Man City messed up not getting in a decent replacement for Kompany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 There's always potential against Man city if you press them, sometimes they play well and go around you but occasionally they lose it. Helps that it's stones and otamendi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 I’m surprised people are holding norwich as something we should adhere to today. The game was very similar to when we beat them 4-2. A Stones and Otamendi central defence making mistakes and leaving half of a pitch to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum has a tendency to look at a game like this and compare it with our bad performances. Norwich were excellent today and fully deserved their win but no doubt, at some point, they'll have a listless defeat against a Burnley, Brighton, Watford etc, we'll have a very good result against a top side and it will even itself out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what annoying me, people said we'd be worked out, it wasn't effective. I'd argue we've been worked out quicker and easier in our new adopted style than the former and it's even less effective than how we were playing before, i'm not saying it's a simple as going back to that, it's not, it needed to change but why do we (or any team for that matter) have to exclusively play in one style, mix it up abit. It seems modern football generally has this obsession that you have to copy Man City's style. Edited 14 September 2019 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 14 September 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 14 September 2019 Exactly, believe in the process. We are a devastating team when we play to our strengths but there's some weird desire to keep it very tight and restrictive when we come up against the better teams. If Rodgers doesn't learn then he can fcuk right off as far as I'm concerned. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems modern football the general rule of thumb is that you have to copy Man City's style. Because our style wouldn’t work against a Man U team with men behind the ball. Last game against Bournemouth we had chance to do it and Vardy delivered where their defence gave him acres behind. Yeah we should been better today. Yeah we should have been more urgent. But Norwich’s gameplan wasn’t an example how should have tried to win today’s game. Corky summed it up a few posts ago. Norwich’s tactics didn’t come off against West Ham two weeks ago EDIT: Tbf I’m probably getting the wrong end of the stick. You are saying play to our strengths rather than alter that - that doesn’t have to be overly tactical, it can be personnel or tempo Edited 14 September 2019 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
