beepee1984 Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 I would give Daka 45 minutes on for Iheanacho - still rotation Swap Casadei with Yunus - give him 10 mins on the right of midfield to see if he improves. If not the bring KDH/Ndidi on after 55/60 mins 2

martyn Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 Without being sparkling, that's about as cohesive as we've looked all season. Can get a sense the players are now getting used to the positional requirements of the system. Casadei should be hooked, he isn't sharp enough of mind and takes too long to sort his feet out, not a great combination. Would have said Nacho too but he improved last 15. Winks and Choudhury been impressive. 4

You think Kel have been good?!?!? We are definitely viewing this game differently. Not that FT is much to go by, but pretty much everyone here is talking about how awful he's been The amount of stick he gets is crazy, he’s held up the ball well, it’s not been a stellar performance granted but he’s done okay. 2
Vacamion Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 People slagging Cassadei. He won it back from the kickoff and nearly assisted a second for us. His cameos coming on as a sub so far this season make me think there's deffo a player in there .

They're just whining because they lost control of the game in that final 15. I missed that. 1 1

PhillippaT Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 *Just seen replay of penalty.* Boneheaded Norwich player, but I guess we'll take it
HankMarvin Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 Matt Elliot fancies Mavididi pass it on 2
VG Fox Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 1 minute ago, LVFox said: We are so comfortable on the ball. It's starved norwich of any chance to apply pressure. Kelechi & Casadei poor, but really impressed with McAteer and Vestegaard. Fully in love with Harry Winks Casadei looks slow and too easily shoved off the ball. Like McAteer's effort
Dahnsouff Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 Actual feels like with 3 of their defence on a yellow, it may actually be Daka time 1
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 20 September 2023 Posted 20 September 2023 Hopefully our squad depth will play a part later in the game. Get Vardy, Fatawu and KDH running at some of their tired players in the 2nd half
Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 20 September 2023 Popular Post Posted 20 September 2023 (edited) I'm really enjoying this game, not just because of the score. Some notes: I've been quite impressed by Norwich. Their change of shape, their playing out from the back, their use of Sara. Given the resources available to both teams, they play good stuff and structurally are the best team we've played aganst so far. Faes was chasing Barnes quite high up the pitch. He's in the team to deal with him as he's a physical player. Called this one in the tactics thread! What I didn't call was Hamza coming in and playing close attention to Jonathan Rowe, who has been one of the best players in the division so far. Hamza has been superb! Both on and off the ball and has dealt with Rowe very well. Right and Left footed 8's are playing on different sides than I would expect, which must be intentional. I think it's because we are exploiting the slow pace of their CBs, so Nacho draws them out and they run in behind and can cut in on their stronger foot via bending their runs. We have almost pulled it off a few times. Yunus I have been very impressed with. Great football brain and first touch. We brought him as a winger, but is he the Turkish Championship version of Bernardo? You heard it here first. Casadei a bit off it. Not horrible, but expected a bit better, the move has broken down the most going to him, or he's given fouls away. Kasey McAteer I love, love, love! He's everywhere! First touch has let him down a bit, but he's making his chances and terrifying their fullback. Mavididi started off slow, but looked a class above by the end of the half. Mads Hermansen is a seriously good keeper. His distribution is so good. Some of his kicks to Nacho are so effective. Even before the goal I felt we were playing well. Maybe 10% worse than against Southampton, but only because of the number of changes. Maresca chose more physical players for this game, and it's worked. We have dealt with their muscle and in fact riled THEM up. Both CBs and Barnes on yellows? When Vardy and Fatawu come on they are going to be in big trouble. Playing system football has one big advantage. You can make a lot of changes because everyone knows what they need to do. This is scarily impressive that we can go away from home, make 5 changes and still dominate. Was about to write "be patient the goal is coming", but Nacho had to ruin it by scoring Edited 20 September 2023 by StriderHiryu 9

It was a poor penaly, he tried to put it down the middle and ended up putting it about a foot to the right of the centre and Gunn got a finger to it. Another milimeter and it's saved and we all talk about how bad Kel has been. Coulda, woulda, shoulda… He’s pulled the Norwich CDs all over the park and gotten one of them booked.

Oh yeah I absolutely think he's a great bit of business and I'm confident he'll have a great year but he's not looked very secure in possession. Particularly now we have the lead I'd be inclined to take him out of the firing line and give him more time a game we'll be under less pressure. Think KDH's athleticism in the middle would really help take the edge off what little Norwich have. 2
