Norwich FA Cup post match

Hope we get Sheffield United in the next round.

Looks like they were robbed by a graduate from the Ashley Young School for Swans

Has Willy ever kept a clean sheet before today?

Probably when he took one out of the washing machine at the Laundromat and managed to get it into the dryer without dropping it on the floor.

That was enjoyable. Team selection spot on. We played with purpose, intensity, desire and width. Just having zabaleta back in the side gave everyone a lift and he played excellently too. Kolarov was excellent, fernando and Delph bossed the midfield.
Someone needs to tell navas to shoot more often because that lad has a rocket of a shot when he uses it.
One of the most refreshing performances and enjoyable days out of the season.

"Your lads played us off the park" as one Norwich fan told me.

Martinez had firm control of his team whereas Norwich with at least 2 different managers being hired will be back in the championship within these couple of seasons

I din't see why, but Zabba was giving some Norwich fan a severe finger wagging before a throw in.

What happened?

Ball boy kicked the ball away so we could take quick throw in

This is were the manager lets himself down. There are only so many fancy Dans you can play, every team needs water carriers and folk prepared to do the hard graft.

Today the team looked balanced with a good work ethic in Delph, Fernando and Navas.

It's when we revert to a midfield two with Yaya being one of the two, and Silva and De bruyner stuck out wide, that causes issues.

This should now be the template for every remaining game we play.

Back 5

Two hard working and mobile central midfielders

Two wide players with pace (left and right)

A single number 10...choose from De Bruyner, Silva, Nasri, Yaya

Aguero/Bony or Ineacho

We'll see what happens.

Great win and I'm pleased the players thanked the fans after the game for their support.

Or we could use a 4123 as we did in Seville which is my preferred formation. Whatever formation we use, we must not continue trying to put square pegs in round holes.

I din't see why, but Zabba was giving some Norwich fan a severe finger wagging before a throw in.

What happened?

Someone in the crowd said that 'In the Army now" is better than 'Better than Rickin all of the World'

 

[Dribble]

get slaughtered for this but we miss Nasri

Possibly the most undervalued player we've ever had.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Maybe we are better with 442
