Serious(ish) question but was Saturday the first time we've seen the 'high press' in action this season? I felt that we out-ratted them across the park - significantly higher up the field than the Watford game.
This felt like a callback to the back end of last season, where we just throttled the opposition and won the ball back before they got into gear. On Saturday, Norwich never found their feet and it suited us.
To circle back to my point, was that the first time we've achieved that this season?

Jordan Archer, our Reserve Keeper Of Hearts, is gone.
This channel seems to specialise in songs like this, such as the easy listening classic: 'Daydreamin' (About Taking A Huge Dump, Then Getting Up To Piss On The Dump And Cut It In Half)'
Obviously, this is an opinion thread, so it will solve nothing but I think we should try to flog Illy in the Summer (subject to him not doing a 10 stretch in the Belgian Scrubs). My reasoning is as follows:
Firstly, If we're ever going to get a reasonable fee for him, it needs to be sooner rather than later. He's as fit as a fiddle, no AFCON next season, his stats are right up there: it's about as attractive a proposition as he's going to get and, if we wait, we'll lose the opportunity. Imagine we waited another year for the Eze sale - it'd be the BOS situation again.
Secondly, and on a purely personal level, he's becoming increasingly predictable: get ball, dribble to edge of box, ignore overlapping runner, cut in on the right foot, edge of box, shoot on angle, rinse, repeat up to 20 times per match. If I can see it, then of course our oppo has prepped for it. We either adapt or die.
Finally, the team dynamic. I don't know professional football coaching from a hole in the ground but having a 'write the theme tune, sing the theme tune' player in the team is predicated on that player producing an end product. We call Dykes, Frey et al names because they don't score a lot. If Illy used the overlap more often, or even just crossed more regularly, our limited strikers might stand more of a chance. They might still be shite, but at least they can prove it on their own terms.
Nothing to do with football. My better half was at work the other day, when a colleague mentioned that she had just admitted a patient who had been run over by a mobility scooter whilst queuing at Greggs.
Fetch Spunkenmeier III, DVT News 'It's Superbowel Sunday and the Kansas Shitty Qweefs are up against the San Francisco 69ers to decide who takes home the Panzerball title! Kansas coach Lazarus Huttenhüber can call on the recently returned Anus Krankyanker to lead the de-fensive line, after his return from hair strain. On the opposing side, San Francisco's veteran manager Glans McGee will have a full starting line, including Deep Midcentrefieldsman Eucan Tutchdis, who has recently celebrated the birth of his first sea monkeys. Whatever happens, we can say 'Go Sports!'
Was thinking about this whilst reading the posts on here: you hear a lot about a manager 'losing the dressing room' but I think that a certain shower of fcukwits wearing the Hoops have actually managed to 'lose the terraces'.
Seriously, there are so many on here, of whom I am one, who have openly stated that the 'hate' this group or are waiting for one, some or all of them to get a right fcuking coating off courtesy of the incoming boss / Bermondsey Dave (delete as applicable).
Frankly, I wouldn't give the steam off my piss to some of these shitehawks.
