There was a moment where we created a new 6v5 overload when Mattsson advanced (see below). That's one solution. Just didn't do it often enough. And usually if an opponent goes 1v1 all over, the space is behind them.

Saturday's win felt like a significant one. It changed the narrative from despair to unity going into the break.
It was also an interesting game tactically, with some new structural variations from City. 👇

Plymouth won more tackles, more ground duels, more aerial duels, & profited from defensive errors on Saturday.
The 2nd half was better, after a strong impact from Wright, but it wasn't enough, & JHT has a decision to make today. 👇

It wasn't a great watch for a lot of Saturday's game, but Norwich's approach was a short-term fix rather than a long-term switch.

Too much analysis is based entirely on the scoreline. Norwich are on the right tracks under JHT.

Reactive attributions & rejections of the long-term strategy after every loss are tedious & reductive.
As unpopular as it is, this is a work in progress, & short-term results aren't always a sign of poor coaching or recruitment. 👇
