Skipp was rated 6.8 by WhoScored, as was Fernandinho for Citeh, so 'nullified' may be a bit over the top. His average for us in the Championship was 6.78.

Yes, but that was at home with us having no DM playing after a disrupted pre-season. Spurs had 10 other players on the pitch, most of whom were rated above Skipp, who is a very good DM, but not a world beater on his own.

Mildly interesting, long passes per 90, comparing Normann to all midfielders in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Somewhat of an outlier! And a style of passing we rarely see in Farkeball. Perhaps helpful in feeding Tzolis/Rashica/Pukki on the break?
Great stat. I’d say more helpful feeding a flying Aarons/Williams/Giannoulis/Mumba - a few times we have narrowed the game well in the centre of the pitch and created space out wide, only for the ball not to get to Aarons quickly enough. It’s not an easy one, but this should help.
The scouting report on the transfer thread details Normann's strengths on long passes and through balls, something Skipp rarely produced. This could be valuable when we're playing without an AM.
The Normann compilation on YouTube gives a good idea of his long passing and through ball skills.

This was a year ago so doesn't include his latest season.
Norwich won just five times in their last Premier League season, conceding 75 times, whilst scoring just 26 up the other end
Since signing for Norwich in the summer of 2018, the striker has scored 90 goals in 168 matches for both club and country. That statistic merely emphasises his importance for City and Finland - where he is considered a superstar.
According to that, we have one of the best defenses in the PL? Is everybody scoring against us on attempts with 0.1 xg ? I'm scratching my over this.
No head scratching needed. Have another look at the Y-axis scale!
Ha! Thanks Robbie. I was reading the y-axis as if it started at zero at the bottom.
Wishful thinking!
In my dreams there's a little green circle way up in the top right corner ............
