Match Thread Norwich City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[billybeeru]

Looking at home/away splits this season, Norwich’s home record is 4 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses. So they only lose about half the time at home. Everton’s away record is 3 wins, 3 draws, 9 losses, so we rarely actually win away games.

Normally I’d say it’s hard to see past a draw, despite how winnable this game should be. But hopefully the empty stadium nullifies the home advantage and our talent wins out.

We really have to play for the win here, so strongest lineup is obviously the way to go, not sure we could have changed much. Hopefully we could be up by 3-0 with enough time to then throw Kean in for at least 30 minutes or so.

good team, this

I recall looking at their line up in the early season game, and literally didn't recognise any of their names.
So I had us down for a walk over.

Pukki hasn't scored in a while

Why isn’t Schneiderlin starting?!?! JOKE OF A CLUB

it’s not very comforting with Davies there but I’m soooo glad I don’t have to worry about him ever again.

....things rarely turn out that way, especially where Everton are concerned. Norwich are coming off a bad defeat and are fighting for their lives. We had a tough game days ago.

I’d love this to be comfortable but I’m not expecting it to be.

never is. But we owe them they’re down and we have Carlo

I thought there may be a little more squad rotation as well. Unfortunately there’s isn’t much to choose from at the moment.

I expected a few more changes given that we had 48 hours less and the travel,and the heat

At least Davies will run about a fair bit, rather than Schneiderlin moving like a milk float

Got a nasty feeling this could end up loke the game we lost to Fulham last season

 

[Podinger]

why would they throw a game when they’re trying to stay up?

No idea, but their lineup is baffling. Cantwell, Pukki and Buendia are their three players that have a little something in attack and they've all been benched. Maybe Farke is making a political point after coming into criticism by their fans and trying to show that he's making the decisions or something. Or, as I said, he's becoming desparate and just trying stuff. Keeping it at 0:0 until the break and then rolling out the big guns against a tiring defense.

Drmic is crap so we all know what that means. Disappointed we have only made one change as a lot of them played 90 mins Sunday.
