Norwich City v Aston Villa - Pre match thread.

[Allan C]

3-0 Villa, don’t care who scores. Surprised some on here are doing down our chances against the bottom team with a manager most on here wanted rid of as not being good enough a month ago. They’re were they are for a reason

[PaulWinch again]

I fear this one a bit. Not sure why, just have an uneasy feeling.

I thought Norwich played well against Man U, we need to be prepared for a hard game

[Baldy]

Based on Mr Gerrard's 'philosophy' against Liverpool (top team) of 'contain them for 75 minutes and then sneak a goal' I expect us to go for the jugular from the first minute against Norwich (bottom team).

Covid permitting, he will select an attacking team. 1-4 to the mighty boys in C & B.

Lawro going for a Canaries win . I thought he'd been put out to grass.

That's good news!

"I am sure Canaries boss Dean Smith would love to beat Villa after the way his three-year spell there ended, but the reason I am backing Norwich is just down to the way they have improved since he took charge there last month."

It's 1 win in 5 for Norwich under Smith, and of course we haven't improved at all.

Of course he did!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Always think Lawrensen used to be quite complimentary about Villa, until we beat Liverpool 7-2.

Who listens to this bloke? He’s the day before yesterday’s man for heavens sake.

Like Garth Crooks too. The BBC really need to up their game with stuff like this.

Glas no leaks on the players missing. Its better that way keeps smith and Norwich guessing

No leaks to press perhaps. But Smith will have an idea and there won't be any surprises re players. He knows them all.

I reckon this could be a tricky one.

That's why we should start with Sanson, Deano won't know what to expect.
