We're lucky to have a manager like Philippe Clement at Norwich. What he's done with this squad is remarkable. πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ

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.

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.
