xLiaaamx Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We were 6 points behind them after two games last year aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 How would we possibly make up a 6 point deficit with only 108 points left to play for? Worrying. Don't think we've ever been 6 points behind Huddersfield after 2 games which included losing to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Massive game. Pace needed, let them have the ball and hit on the break like last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The main issue may be their new striker bringing bigger threat than when we played them. Definitely shouldn't be stupid like Palace and allow them tons of room for the high press. Keep tight at back, spread play and get pace in behind. I'd definitely want Murphy and Atsu on the wings for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hate to suggest it because I really like him but I feel Ritchie might need to be dropped. After one game? Just feel we need more pace out wide. Atsu's pace was our biggest threat today, and we lacked it down the right Merino Hayden Murphy Ritchie Atsu Gayle Worth a go? Ritchie likes a shot and can't really be worse than Perez in the No. 10 role. Wouldn't be surprised to see SDJ on the bench though. This would be a great match for him.

Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Can see that tbh though would be tempted to start siem, know he'll get injured 10 mins in but in theory another big man to be on end of crosses from the wingers and should contribute more in middle.

Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Indeed, and indeed if he is good begs the question with all our french links why we weren't in for him. Looked the kind of mobile fast forward Rafa likes. Prolly good reason why not I guess and may well turn out shit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should know what's coming better, I do fear though their new striker may have improved them He looked good from the 40 minutes I saw from their match yesterday. I watched most of the game, he was excellent, messed up a one v one opportunity but other than that was a constant threat, big strong and direct, very English like in his play, he'll score plenty this season, considering all the effort we put into that french market, not sure why we weren't in for him.

Sho Time Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 He's played 1 game in England, Ricky van Wolfswinkel looked class in his first game for Norwich. He'll likely start off well and tail off later in the season. 1-2 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trot de Jong out at as the #10. Get him 50 minutes or so before he shatters his fibula and contracts TB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even on the bench yesterday and Rafa would play Diame as a number 10 again before SDJ if it got to that desperation stage IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
