Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted January 24, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Two managers in two games seen off by the mighty mustard. Norwich are absolutely dreadful. We're piss weak, there's no squad depth, we rarely score, we're not creative enough in midfield, and we've got a defence that's barely mobile. ...And yet somehow, despite giving the teams multiple chances to pull away and leave us in the rear view, they've constantly bottled it. It's like they genuinely don't want to stay up. I know Covid makes the table a bit askew and they'll have some games in hand, but surely we should have been put away by now? We'd scored eight goals prior to the Everton game. Eight! It's absolutely ridiculous. Big Dean Smith has done wonders with those recent results. It's going to be one of the worst relegation battles of all time in terms of points - but possibly one of the most exciting in terms of end of season drama. I think Burnley might just scrape themselves out of trouble and someone else will be dragged into the mire like Leeds. as I type this note on the 24th of January, before it all inevitably goes tits up, I genuinely think under Smith we might fluke 17th. Quite possibly with a record low points/goal total. Shithousing our way to survival. Savour it.  Edited January 24, 2022 by Fatty Facesitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savour it.  My Norwich fan friend reminded me that Ranieri was the third manager to have lost his job following a Norwich win this season. The first was, of course, Daniel Farke. I don't see what Hodgson can offer, unless he's literally there to steady the ship until the end of the season when Mourinho ends up getting the job or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2022 Gotta feel for Bryan Ferry. Genuinely thought he'd be backed by Levy only to see Liverpool and Barca swoop in on their top two targets. God knows why their main targets are wingers when their midfield is dirge. Meanwhile, our strategy of getting rid of loads of players but bring nobody in doesn't look too clever. Maybe we'll sign one of the million Brazilian midfielders we're looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Conte of Chelsea= Alpha Shagger. Conte of Spurs= Beta Cuck. It’ll be interesting to see, if we do sign Diaz, what is mightier. Liverpool’s ability to identify good inside forwards or Tottenham’s ability to identify shit £50m players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted January 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2022 It's a shame the Traore deal didn't get done. I've been really curious to see what Conte could get out of him since we were linked years ago. I definitely see the potential to enter holy lands and refuse to pull off his shoes.

He turned Victor Moses in to a wingback who resembled a not shit footballer, I imagine he would have worked similar wonders with Traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2022 Traore would never make it as a wingback, he hasn't got the drive for that type of continual workrate. He was bought to Wolves by Nuno upgrade Matt Doherty in the position, never worked. If Spurs were going that route they've dodged a bullet in my opinion. Many Wolves fans are gutted, I'm over the moon. Traore is a great MOTD player, fab in highlights. In reality he doesn't track back, the vast majority of his crosses go out for goalkicks or throw ins, his final ball is atrocious for the main. He is literally too quick for his mental side to keep up with his feet. Ability wise I think he reached his ceiling under Nuno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say I’d back Conte to get more out of him out of him than Nuno though, what with Conte being a top class manager and that. I read someone compare Traore to an animal set on fire released in to battle to create chaos. Pretty apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 28, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Nuno was quite good at coaching wingbacks, he turned Doherty into a bloody good player, enough to get Spurs to cough up money for him. I honestly feel Nuno could have got more out of Traore, similarly to the Doc and Coady effect, he's made Connor's career. The problem was, and still is, Traore won't go any further. His best position is right wing, off the bench on the 70 minute mark. If we get Puig out of this 'friendship' I'll be overjoyed.
