Nothing to report from the Home End

Postby CuteMancs » Sat Feb 12, 2022 9:21 am

This is not really worth it, but it is all there is at the moment. As always three points is all the matters, putting an end to the Canaries run of form.

COME ON CITY!!!

Referee: Andre Marriner
Assistants: Richard West, Scott Ledger
Fourth official: Tony Harrington
VAR: Paul Tierney
Assistant VAR: Simon Bennett

Team Selection

Gunn, Byram, Hanley, Gibson, Aaron's, Norman, Gilmore, Lees-Milou, Rachica, Sargent, Pukki

And the rest…

Let's face it, a point here would be massive! Hopefully the returning players will have a few more minutes in their legs, to give us options. I thought Gilmour was poor when he came on the other night, Normann better, and provided some good stats. This will be, tactically, a slightly different prospect to Palace, so I wonder if Dean will shuffle the pack, possibly dropping to a 4-5-1.

Most people I know are expecting an absolute drubbing, I think, if we are on our game, like you say against Wolves, then a point is achievable. We're not the mugs we were at the start of the season. If teams like Burnley can get the odd giant killing result, I don't see why we can't. I feel Man City could be under a bit of pressure today, they will desperately want the win, Liverpool are breathing down their neck. Any more straws I can clutch at?

Norwich are unbeaten in three league games now and they have given themselves a chance of staying up, which did not look very likely at the turn of the year. But this is Manchester City they are up against here. Pep Guardiola's side are just relentless at the moment - nothing really changes and you just know they will find a way of winning this game even if they don't play particularly well.

Thanks CM
If I remember rightly, the last time you did the Norwich view, there was a lot of vitriol against us.
Maybe a few points has mellowed them.

This has the potential to go either way...a massive win for City and a goal fest for us, or it could end up as a dull dour attack v defence game with us us struggling to break down their 11 men packed into their 6yd box.
