Norwich (H): The Match

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Need to see more from Coutinho, not really in it at the moment.

[Ams12]

Whether he's fit or not, it makes such a difference having Sturridge back, there seems to be movement and someone closer to Benteke both of which we've lacked so far this season. We also seem to be playing with a higher tempo and look like we are actually trying to score. There performances that aren't great and there seems to be a lack of understanding and lack of sharpness but it's looking more promising than we have in previous games. Hopefully we can get a few goals and a win.

can see the trying to play although it is a bit rusty. Would much rather see this and draw/lose than sit back and draw/lose!

[danperkins]

Great effort from our defender

[Exiled_red]

Clyne with a decent effort just wide

[danperkins]

If Milner carries on playing this bad for the last 15 of this half, we should switch it up at half time.

[Fierce]

We are set up so defensively, it's complete and utter over kill

Can should be able to drop back when required, not be stuck there regardless

Moreno is getting forward lots but could do that playing as left back anyway

I can sort of see why this setup could work, providing the players are easily able to switch up to 443 or 433. I'm not sure that we're smart enough though, just seems that we've not learned how to play this system

[Daffy Duck]

That was awful.

[redmike65]

You can hear the tension in the crowd, esp when the pace of movement really drops

[fidget]

Unlucky Sturridge - rust showing there

Who you bring on there's only really Lallana or Firmino, neither of whom are traditional CMs. As I doubt he will change the formation.

[danperkins]

****, another few weeks that be back of the net. Lovely ball through for him.

[Exiled_red]

Sturridge with an effort saved

[fidget]

Good to see coots getting into the box
now please go to 4 at the back for second half

Lallana for me, at least he ll be a bit more progressive. Not ideal options for this system but it's just way too defensive vs Norwich at Anfield. Playing not to lose rather than to win.
