Norwich v City Pre Match Thread

Cant believe how poor silva is in front of goal avergeing 5-6 goals a season in a city shirt and 20 in 79 for spain so realistically he scoes a goal once every 8 or 9 games for someone with his abilty you would think he would get a few more.

His finishing is really bad. He missed a sitter at home in the Derby last season which could have turned the whole season. He has to work on this part of his game

Have to agree. We love the way he palys and what he brings in and around the box. Guess were all delighted when he's on the team sheet and marvel at his ability.

Because of all that we have tended to cut him more slack with his finishing because of what else he brings, but were in a business where winning is the only measure of success and David, as much as we all love him, has to improve when presented with such golden opportunities.

I know, part of this is driven because I so wanted to beat Chelsea and we could have, but I'm still upset about it.

Come on Merlin, prove you can do it

Is Joleon Lescott injured?

Just been talking to a lad at work about him. Is he immune from criticism? Missed two absolute sitters on Monday night, if Dzeko had missed those we would still be talking about it.

He is a great player and has a huge impact on the way we play, but in a team as free-scoring as ours he should be scoring more goals, or even hitting the target more.

But he makes a lot of goals as well, Dzeko doesn't really make any. That said its not a Dzeko vs Silva debate and Silva has always been piss poor at shooting. Let me put it this way if he was our striker we would have not forgiven him.

Think its worth giving yaya a rest with the games we've got coming up.. or do we play him even at Norwich?

No fern and you want to leave yaya out as well?

All depends on how strong you believe Norwich to be.. I obviously don't want to under estimate them and be on the end of a shock result; but conscious of the games coming up too

Not if it means the rest of his game drops off as a result. unless you think he doesn't work hard enough in training? :)
