Norwich (H) - Sat 21 Aug 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Mca70]

The coach needs to take a long look at previous matches involving the same suspects for: commitment, ability to tackle, communicate, a first-touch, dribbling, playing a simple pass to a fellow player, positioning at both set-pieces and breakaways, shooting at the actual target and not trying to take on two, three or four players; then failing to get past the first and then smiling about it. The team yesterday had already lost before they kicked a ball. Playing Mendy-Sterling and Marhez has never worked. The bench was strong enough and I do think, City were actually away, not playing in a third round League Cup game. It’s the top six-eight teams you have to begin strong. That was poor and without conviction.

Can we work on putting a good corner in?! I think every corner that we didn't play short hit the first man.

We’ll beat them comfortably

if it’s Kane’s debut it’ll be 6-0 and he’ll score a hat trick

We cannot play Ake and Mendy on the left side of our defence and keep getting away with it. If nothing else yesterday proved that.

Foden in for Sterling if fit. Kane up top if he signs

Spot on , that is the team. Would you be tempted to buy a LB.
Also it's make or break for Rodri this season.

Has anyone managed to book a car park space anywhere on the car parks for this game? I've trawled the OS and the best I've found is "NO EVENTS'! How booking every game or a parcel of games is better than a season ticket fuck knows, 'cos it just ain't! The admin behind this season started off as a shambles and it appears to be getting worse. You can now buy a ticket for an MCWFC game but yer can't download the ST yer've paid for. If we end up with a season that continues to fuck over the fan until the end City need to understand there's a limit. I haven't been to a game for months and already I'm well 'n truly pissed off!

We need some pace and dribblers on the wing a lot of our play is too slow and predictable

Does anyone know the deal with the bars etc before the game. Are mary Ds back to normal now? I know everything is supposedly back to normal but just checking. Last few times I've been there before lockdown, the atmosphere isn't what it used to be... is there other places people go for a sing song before? Cheers

I would play Steffan instead personally, as Ederson didn’t look at it yesterday and he can’t keep letting soft goals in without facing any consequences.
