Norwich post match thread

[Kronenburg1892]

I don't think another striker is a must. I think more pace and movement is a must.

I see a new Xabi as more important. A player that can dictate the tempo and deliver both in attack and defence. A dominant midfielder. We don't have that.

I think fitness is a priority. All of our players are good, although our CBs are our weak spot. But too many times this season we've lost steam in the second half.

Xabi's a one of a kind there's hardly a billion players like that in the world. Let go and move on. He's not coming back, there's no one else really capable of doing that who would play here, obvious ones that spring to mind are Gago and he's ****e, or Banega and he's a headcase and temperamental.

How is Wickham doing..?

According to SSN he did well today.

The majority of our chances are made by and taken by Suarez. We need him to be more clinical, maybe get Rushie in to show him how.

If Torres had stayed him and Suarez would have been electric.

I don't think you can teach finishing. You've got it or you haven't. Suarez is class but he isn't an outstanding finisher. Certainly not in the mode of a Rush, Fowler, Torres, or even Owen.

Lots of our play was good but without that player to stick it in the back of net we will struggle to win a run of games.

We also need to get Suarez and our attacking players to read each other better. That will take game time. I don't have a problem with our strike force.

I'd also like to say that I'm loving the second coming of Bellamy. He has exactly the right attitude.

[Arn]

Well you would hope that a fully fit Gerrard could provide that link in midfield.

Thing is mate, we "are" creating chance but we are just not taking them, that is the problem. A clinical goal poacher IMO is the answer to that. Well either that or Suarez finds the net more Or someone actually bothers to step up and not leaveit all for Suarez to do.

It is more Suarez creating chances. The team isn't exactly creating that many.

It has been to much give the ball to Suarez and he will do his magic. We will need to play more like a team and not like a one man team.

Right now Suarez is carrying us on his shoulders.

Javi Martinez would probably be prepared to join us.

Why, why, why was he subbed?!

[Zapater]

Javi Martinez would probably be prepared to join us.

He is a fine player and would be a great signing, but you were saying "new Xabi" and tbh there is very little in common between two players.

[Exiled_red]

I found that a very strange decision

[Imy]

Why, why, why was he subbed?!

So we could bring on Henderson .

Sooner rather than later people will start to question Kenny. He brings on Carroll but takes off his primary supply line

[Shanks]

Hate these post match threads when we lose..
Nobody tries to see any positives..

1-1 at Home to the Mancs and it's a result, 1-1 at Home to Norwich and the knives are out..

The frustration comes from not putting our chances away.. Nothing to do with the signings, although I do think Carroll's days could be numbered if he doesn't start banging them in soon..

A lot of new signings means we are still gelling as a team, add Gerrard back into the mix and it's still early days..

I do think we'll still finish 4th but we'll need an out and out finisher and a pacey, natural right winger to really compete..

With a new Xabi I meant a dominant midfielder. Martinez is that. He is a very complete midfielder and a great leader.

He is excellent in defence and can dictate the tempo.

I think that he could end up being even better than Xabi because he is more mobile.

[Baracus]

No one think we missed Lucas?

We had that with Maxi, Meireles, Suarez and Kuyt.
