We need to switch to 433 in these kind of games, imo.
I think 4-5-1 / 3-2-3-2 would work better imo

Norwich are crowding the middle, and in defence it's 3 players around each area of movement so it's gotta be controlled at the back and not slowly taken forward allowing time for them to regroup and hold their lines. Hit them hard and where's the bloody passing and movement gone that used to create chance after chance? It's been basic basic stuff but what do I know, I haven't kicked a ball in over a month. Anyone else frustrated or you cheering yourself up in the Sandro thread?

Sometimes... I hate spurs fans. Against ManU, we could finish 3rd, Parker is immense. 10 days later, Parker is s***, everyone's going to overtake us. I swear a large section section of SC are teenage boys who think we should outplay everyone we come across and if we don't win by 2 or 3, were s***. It's embarrassing.

You're embarrassing and completely overstating what is being said.

Parker has been shit. He isn't shit.

Hoping we'll get some advantage from the wind in the second half. Dismal first half but still wish I had a thread to watch it on instead of relying on Radio London and asialivestream.com, which is awful

The wind. Its the wind. I reckon we will be fine in the second half if we pump the ball up to.... Oh.....

Is it any coincidence our two worst away performance of the year have been the two Sandro has been out for?

Severely underestimated in our team - Parker just can't do what he does.

Our only choice really is to go 4-3-3, put Holtby in front of Parker and Dembele. Whether we sacrifice Lennon or Dempsey doesn't matter. What we need is to keep the ball moving, lethargically knocking the ball two yards to the person next to you isn't going to open them up, we need urgency and movement as we do not have the target man to allow us to play any other way.

This is yet again another illustration of why we need a new striker.

Exactly - Norwich are quite happy for us to knock the ball about between daws and verts, then as soon as teh ball comes to a midfielder they press. Its how we should be playing.

Im hoping that was our poor half and we come out with a super second half like the good ol days udner harry. Cant see tho

Does somebody want to try and continue the argument that you would not take £5m for Parker?? Not the worst tonight or the only one, however I think you have seen all the evidence you need to convince. And as for Dempsey and Defoe... and while I am at it; it's about time Dembele stopped flattering to deceive and actually effected a game in the final 3rd. This team lost it's heart and bottle when Sandro got injured.

Holtby at HT please - take your pick who you take off.

Yes. Talk about fucking idiotic knee jerk reactions. Parker has lots to offer and with out the quite sublime Sandro he is the only player we have capable of playing that role well.

Oy vey. Not great is it lads? Let's hope for one of AVB's patented HT gee ups.

At least assnal are losing. Shame that means Pool are winning. Oh, and please please please do fuck off Everton.

Not liking this at all. We don't have a good record in come-backs. I think AVB should tell our players that we're actually playing a top 4 team. This should make them play harder...

Parker has been putting in these level of performances since November 2011, but hes a triffic lad and a POTY warrior so you are not allowed to mention it.

Holtby isn't going to come on and stop Norwich wanting to win the match more than us. We need a change of attitude as well as tactics. We are being bullied off the ball in midfield and forced to defend a hoofed ball, and when its played up on the ground we're giving away stupid fouls. Meh

if the results finish like they are now, then there is 5 fighting for 2 places and us and the red shite look the weakest.
