Norwich (H) Build Up Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

We need someone to look after Maddison who is their only real threat. MGW isn't doing that.

Fair point, and I'll assume why most are plumping for Saiss. That said, the point would be to retain more control of the ball in the final third.
Going forwards, I hope to see more gametime for MGW. He doesn't look out of place in this team.

It amazes me some people think MGW is already good enough to displace team starter like Saiss. He's only just 18 he's got plenty of time. I very much doubt he'll get anywhere near the starting line up outside of the cups next season. He's a great prospect but he ain't there yet.

MGW was instantly better than N'Daiye when he came on against QPR. Age has nothing to do with it which is why Neves is a world class player at 20.

 

[StuardoWulf]

MGW struggled at Swansea in fact N'Daiye looked better than him IMO. I wasn't offering age as a reason just mitigation

MGW is 18 with little first team experience, you can't expect him to perform to his best in a second 11 side. Whenever he has come on for the first team he has impressed. I wouldn't be starting him at the moment, but I wouldn't be worried about him starting ahead of N'Diaye as and when Neves gets his suspension, less so Saiss tbf.

 

[Dinowolf]

I'd keep the same team against Norwich and leave Saiss on the bench unless it's close.

 

[slink]

Saiss should be playing if he's fit imo as he's a second best central midfielder. He's been quality all season and while Alf did ok in a couple of games he's now been average at best in the last 2 although he did play well at Norwich. Maddison is their biggest threat and i think Saiss is the best option against him too.

Steady on.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of changes for this one with a crucial game at Flum on Saturday. Saiss in for Alf and for some reason I think Afobe might start. Just a feeling in me water, guv...

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

The important question about the match is where are the cool kids drinking beforehand? I've got to meet my brother first to get his ticket but it would be good to try and meet a few of you for a pint if possible, especially as this is a very rare appearance for me!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We'll probably be in the Litten but it's essentially Kenny's call as he'll get there first (he makes it a race, which is a bit juvenile if you ask me)

 

[machin05]

Oh god, really??

 

[Kenny]

(he makes it a race, which is a bit juvenile if you ask me)

Just because you lose...

Kenny - please get there first and choose somewhere else.....

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There's nothing wrong with the Litten.

We are not going to some wanky real ale place to appease part-timers.

 

[Kenny]

I don't care on the pub as I will be drinking Pop.

 

[Kenny]

Can use the Royal London? Decent drinks in there for Will and Langers

 

[Langers]

The Litten is awful. And I'm not saying that with my beer snob head on, either!

Aye.
