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.

In my analysis article this week, I focus exclusively on Norwich in possession & their failure to adapt to a tactical change.
How did Hull's tactical adjustment help to end Norwich's dominance? Find out below. π

There were quite a few in-game adjustments on Saturday. Some of them have been misinterpreted. Some of them worked, some of them didn't.
Read my tactical analysis below, where I attempt to make sense of the changes.

Despite a few better moments of progression, Norwich remain too easy to play against out of possession, and they lack creativity in possession.
It's not the best combination. Have a read of my analysis below. π

Lends weight to my feelings that last season we were actually not that bad until the final run, and were largely better than we currently are. We'll never know if JHT would've been able to turn it around this season, but it's currently not looking better #ncfc

I wasn't. Thanks for sharing. It does appear they've just copied the text from the PinkUn, but the image attachments haven't come out. Will look into it. π

It was the result many Norwich fans feared was likely.
And despite some good moments of pressure from City, Ipswich deserved it. Their patience paid off.

A good away point at Stoke on Saturday. But it was another disappointing performance.
Very little control with or without the ball. We need to see big improvements in every phase over the next 2 games. My analysis. π

It was a tough watch for Norwich fans on Saturday.
Some concerning moments out of possession and far too much risk-aversion with the ball.

Coventry posed a unique challenge for Norwich on Saturday. It was a really interesting game from a tactical perspective.
But Norwich did well to come away with a respectable point. Have a read of my analysis below.

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. π

A great away win to build some momentum for Liam Manning's Norwich on Saturday.
Resolute defending and two well-worked set-piece routines made the difference. Have a read of my analysis below. π

He's also been good enough to venture into Bluesky, so show him some love.
