Norwich (H) Pre-Match Thread - 14/12/2019

9 in a row?! 

[OadbyBlue]

A favour off Nigel would be nice We should win this but on their day Norwich can cause problems as they did Man City 

[Lambert09]

Same 11 again please. 

[Izzy]

If ever there was a game to give Youri a proper rest, it's this one.

[Tanya]

Play the diamond. Then bring on the wings to run them ragged.

 

Norwich are a fun team and could pose us troubles going forward but their defence is so poor. Brendan needs to warn against complacency more than anything else.

[UniFox21]

Norwich are a weird team who can turn it on and bring some great play. Expect another fairly defensive set up, and we'll need to be on our best to win.

Agreed. Praet has shown today and when coming on as a sub he can pretty much do any job in the midfield as support for Ndidi and also Maddison. Slots in so well and it's as if he's been at the club more than just 5/6 months. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers went with back to normal formation but Praet instead of Youri.

The assist for Vardy's second was a beauty, chipped and lofted enough for him to run onto but not too much for keeper to get it

[Hammo]

We can discuss our favoured tactics and selections for this one on here until we’re blue in the face, but there’s one thing I think we all now know:

 

Brendan. knows. best.

[LestaAl]

More goals  please , need to get the GD up in case we have equal points with LFC later in the season!

[foxes_rule1978]

Norwich are not in the best form, but have shown they can be dangerous, so not to be taken likely. However we just keep getting better and you have got to fancy both us and Vardy to continue the streak. 2-0

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Gray will be fresh and chomping at the bit, I expect him to play a part in this game, defence has to remain the same but lots of great options in midfield.

[RowlattsFox]

Hard to see us not winning with their leaky defence and our incredible forward play. Must not be complacent though and earn the right for our quality to shine through.

 

Part of me wants to play Justin and rest Ricardo for the cup game but it will probably be other way round. 

[Lcfc-1992]

Same team as today, the game is 6 days away so everyone should be fine. Rest the players that need it in the cup

[FireFox]

Must win

[weller54]

4-0.. 

They're terrible and we're rampant!! 

[Trav Le Bleu]

15-0 or I'm going to be underwhelmed.

[oohaahmustafa]

16-0

[lee7]

I hope kelechi keeps his place. Been like a new signing in the two games he's played. Deserves to start in the next one.

Weren't Celtic fans bleating on about him staying for 9 in a row?

[Vacamion]

 

Will they park the bus or have a go? 

 

 

 

 

[Sianist]

Pukki aren’t to be underestimated

Despite looking naive on several occasions, they'll come and play I reckon. It's not their usual MO to park the bus.

[Vacamion]

 

They beat Man City, but if I recall correctly Man City had a bucketful of missed chances, and were Pukki'd. 

 

[Carl the Llama]

Should beat them all things considered but their performances are improving with Cantwell back in the fold so we can't take anything for granted.
