Could be a cricket score this.

After the CL final I just forgot about football, but now I’m reminded how much I hate these *****.

Norwich playing ok. For the world's greatest rb TAA isn't great defensively
Neither of their FBs are. They're just decent athletically and put in the effort to get back in position. They're defending is far more effort based than it is actual defensive nous.

I want VVD to come back to earth and just be good. If that's the case, their defense will struggle.

Norwich have shit the bed at the back and our rolling around in it. Some flashes of decent play when they aren't looking shell shocked.

Norwich are gonna earn a lot of friends in this league with the way they play but they're gonna get absolutely tanked by a lot of teams, so many quality players in this league now and they're be continuously punished week in week out.

Said it before but I’ll say it again. For me you couldn’t have hand picked a worse team to lose against in that final. I despise them, I really do. We’re gonna be reminded every week until the end of the season that they are European champions. Fuck sakes it should have been us.

I think Robertson is sound enough. But you see even today that Norwich are targeting TAA, can guarantee the rest of the league will follow suit. I suspect he might be dropped for Gomez at RB with Matip in the middle against the top sides.

Are you seeing where they're playing? Both of them are sitting up high where a winger normally would be and they're still getting ridiculous amounts of space. If a player is that high up I don't understand why the Norwich winger on that side isn't sitting deeper. The amount of through-balls down the wings into space already is absurd

Based on this I think they'll get enough points to stay up. Goals keep you up and they have goals in them. Just need to ditch that German at number 18...
