Norwich 23/1/16 - Away

[an tha]

No win in the last 3.

 

Only 2 in the last 8 - but this is a happy hunting ground for us.

 

I wonder how much Tuesday's semi will influence selection for this one - maybe 1 or 2 of the kids who played Wednesday deserve and will get a game....

 

 

[lebron]

Let's go with;

 

------------------------Mignolet-------------------------

 

Clyne-------Lovren--------Sakho---------Moreno    

 

-------------Henderson-----Lucas--------------------

 

----------Milner-------Firmino------------Ibe----------

----------------------Benteke---------------------------

 

Kolo in if Lovren isn't fit. With Lallana seemingly out there's really not much more to be done, is there? Could play Allen at the expense of Ibe or Benteke I suppose. Neither of those two have done much lately to earn a spot, but we need some attackers on the pitch. Teixeira and Ojo could be in the frame for a sub appearance perhaps.

That gives me a full lob on not a semi

[Russ Atmosphere]

I miss that beautiful wool coat. Not happy with this Pulis ensemble. The Dortmund training gear looked far better than our shite.

[Grinch]

Rest everyone for Stoke.  

[El Rojo]

I wonder if either Ojo or Oh, Joe will start?

[Delmar]

We need Lucas and two proper CBs for Stoke.  Henderson and Milner can run match after match, put Allen there with them.  CBs, play whoever is OK, Ilori and Sakho, maybe.  Toure for Stoke.

 

The forwards are the easiest, Firmino, Ibe, and Benteke.  All of them can manage two matches in 3 days (or whatever).

[J-V]

Lets get Suarez on loan for a day.

Lets get Suarez on loan for a day.

We couldn't afford it

[Anubis]

We only need to loan him on the days we have games.

[Gym Beglin]

I'd like to see Smith start, with Moreno pushed further forward.

 

I think it'd make a real difference to our pressing having Moreno pushed forward.

[Frank Dacey]

Lee Mason the ref....and in case you're hoping he pulls a hamstring, the fourth official is Kevin Friend.

[cuppatea]

Hopefully Smith gets on the pitch. I'd like to see Allen's recent form rewarded with a start and I'd keep Benteke in to try and play him into some sort of form. Probably stick Caulker in there as well since he's cup tied and we could do with saving Toure's legs for Stoke.

still couldn't afford him

[Dr. J]

No Milstone, please - I think we've seen more than enough of the lumbering navvy style of football. Allen deserves a start.

 

The usual suspects have shit themselves how many times? Now that any hope for 4th is probably gone give someone else a chance. They had theirs.

[Reckoner]

This fixture two years ago. Thought we might win the leagu, had a mate from Norwich so asked to stay at his. Didn't have a match ticket but booked the train down on the cheap. Missed my train, paid £80 walk up fair for the 5 hour journey.

My mate picked me up, turns out his 'Norwich' was a posh village miles away from Norwich. And his mums house.

Got smashed, everyone went to bed except me and my mates mate, we did lines, trashed the room and I woke up at half time on the couch having pissed myself.

Was happy about the score, but the house was pretty hostile.

[Dr Nowt]

Was convinced we would blow that game and what happened shortly after at Palace was on the way that day.

 

Come the final whistle was convinced we were winning the league.

 

Only 2 years ago. Fuck.

[G Richards]

We have to be winning this to stay somewhat in the range of catching someone in the top four. It's becoming a long shot, but I think some teams above us will drop points this weekend. 

 

Benteke brace. I said he'd do that against Exeter. Stop letting me down big fella!

[Reckoner]

Play Benteke Jurgen, ya big meanie

[Jairzinho]

Yeah play Benteke tomorrow as hopefully he won't be against Stoke.

[Hades]

Hope Mason gives a lot of decisions against us as I enjoy complaining about injustice more than watching Liverpool win.

[Pureblood]

Save Bentekey for Stoke. 

[Gnasher]

My team for Norwich. Xavi Jesus plus 10 others.

[Creator Supreme]

They'll stuff us 4-0, we'll be lucky to get 0!
