Lanterne Rouge Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but that goal line clearance was about as perfect a bit of defending as you`ll see. If he gets it even half a percent wrong it`s either an own goal or the ball goes straight back to the forward for a tap in. Well done Nathan, absolutely superb.

Yeah I thought that too but in it`s own way it was up there with Flinty`s. Different skills required but perfectly executed just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and post RRH - Glad someone mentioned it Not quite up to Flints but not far off , how hevand the ball didn’t end up in the net I’m not quite sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Think if it had ended 0-0 today it would have got a lot more mentions. Outstanding defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I thought Baker, Wright and Flint looked pretty good today and as said above, had the score been 0-0 or a home win, they'd all be getting more praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Good defensively but think Wright is really throwing us off our game at times. Doesn’t know when to get forward and when not to. Not the best decision maker on the ball. When he is in the right position at the right time he is reluctant to make the cross or pass. Thought he was actually caught too far forward on a few occasions. I don’t know what the answer is for that position but think Wright has ran his course there. Baker and Flint were good as usual though Flint got turned a bit too easily for me on the Baker clearance. Also Frank Fielding out of his area again. Is this instruction? Gives me more grey hairs everytime he does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Absolutely. Fantastic save on the line. Unfortunate it came to that though. Could have so easily been the first goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker and Flint were good as usual though Flint got turned a bit too easily for me on the Baker clearance. Also Frank Fielding out of his area again. Is this instruction? Gives me more grey hairs everytime he does it Compare Wright and Magnússon as full backs. Wright is arguably more sound positionally and defensively but you REALLY lose the attacking/crossing ability of a proper full back. Additionally we looked so much more fluid with Pisano in the side, looking for overlaps, getting up and down the pitch, taking it to the byline and putting the ball in dangerous areas. BW has been fantastic as a stand-in but it's patently clear he's not a full back. We lose 33% of our width unless whoever plays right midfielder (lets say Brownhill) is willing to exploit that area and take the ball in to that channel. Hypothetically we've then lost 25% of the midfield that are useful for winning the second ball, preventing the counter, or attacking the ball from deep. Wright is doing a magnificent job but with Pisano in the side we are significantly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I thought it was on a par with the Flint clearance, excellent. I thought Mags done really well when he came on today, with Flint up top he seemed to cover the back line almost single handed at times, making a few vital tackles and interceptions that could have led to a second Norwich goal.
