Mole_Toonfan Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How the f*** is Sissoko in the French team? Probably a good impact sub Pretty much, he won't ever start but he's decent cover for some of their midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Think the derby came too quick for his managerial reign here. The fans were up for it, players were nervy, relegation dogfight. But still he managed to salvage something. Love the guy. Dread to think we only have 8 games more under him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If he likes De Jong, then thank fuck[emoji38]The guy is brilliant imo, just needs a long run in the team. Improved us a lot when he came on. Quality player imo. We've seen nothing to suggest he's brilliant yet like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Think the derby came too quick for his managerial reign here. The fans were up for it, players were nervy, relegation dogfight. But still he managed to salvage something. I think there's definitely something in this. While the Norwich game is obviously massive, it doesn't have all the added spice of being a local derby and I firmly believe we'll beat them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Wrote this on KIs Insta, might as well lob it here too, not sure if it's been mentioned. Today is Down syndrome awareness day. They encourage people to wear "funky socks" at work. Rafa and his wife donated to a DS charity near Liverpool before. Makes it even better iyam. I like that he's done it without mentioning it as well. Class that, like. Is this guy the Spanish Ace Rimmer or something...what a guy...

nufcjb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 He has got almost the whole squad to work with apart from Janmaat, Gini and Sissoko during the international break. Hope he could also get some players back from injury too. And Mitrović. Who are you playing? 1 or 2 games? Didn't think he was going away as .com didn't list him being called up.

The College Dropout Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Norwich have looked better in recent weeks. I'm not optimistic. A draw means we'd probably need to get 5 more points than them from our remaining 7/8 games. Which is highly unlikely. Go away from home...... and win. A must. A draw keeps us on life support, a win for Norwich kills us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It's going to be very intriguing seeing what he does with the flanks for the next one. I expect our lot to be much more up for it, I think the point and situation from the weekend will provide a big psychological boost. Hopefully the Sissoko on the left experiment is done for home games (at the very least), he just doesn't look to have the qualities to play that side. What I'm slightly encouraged by is that Sunderland are probably the worst sort of opponent for us - they defend deep, they're compact, they choke space and they've got 2 really physical players in front of an already big defence. Norwich don't have that, Swansea don't have that, Villa don't have that and neither do Palace. I expect us to compete much better in the middle of the park against them and, as they're more open sides, see more space to attack. We've got some decent technical ability in the team so I fancy us to match those teams much better and it'll be those sorts of matches where we see Benitez's tactics become more prevalent. This is far from done yet, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If you can't beat Norwich, you deserve to go down. It's a must win and anything less is a disgrace. Does that include West Brom, Man City, West Ham, Southampton, Man United, Everton, Arsenal, Swansea, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Stoke, Sunderland and Villa?

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Norwich are being under-rated In what sense? if you can't beat a team that has been in the relegation zone all season then you deserve what you get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 They were awful in the first half against West Brom. They have the same issues as us an Sunderland, can't score and lack creativity. It's honestly a toss up between the three teams. We have Rafa though, so I have some confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 And honestly, with West Brom's attitude, beating them is no achievement at all. Even we did it. It's the same reason why Sunderland will comfortably beat them in 2 weeks time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
