F.A. Cup 5th round - Norwich vs Leicester

The Norwich keeper is Ruddy good - he is the second best English keeper atm after Hart in my opinion.

I apologise for that awful and oft repeated pun but I couldn't resist.

Will he and your other first team members be playing though or will Lambert give a run out to a few of your reserves do you think?

 

Also Beckford is a beast in the FA cup 14 goals in 16 appearances.

No clue why he doesn't replicate that in the league...

 

i think we will play young jed steer in goal - he is the england u19 goalkeeper. lambert likes to rotate in the cups

mind you, he likes to rotate in the league too!!

 

Pretty much full strength side but Lambo likes to play the youth keepers in the cups, so maybe Steer will get another run out....
Beckford is indeed a beast in the FA cup but we have several beasts.....

 

snap

 

Yeah he looks decent. But to be honest apart from Joe Hart the current standard of English goalkeepers is shocking

 

Hi just checked this link out on laptop... Does it just appear at 3pm 2moro or is thee more links internally thst need to go through? Cheers

 

Score 4 My Pleasure
"Last season in the Championship Kyle Naughton was quality, finished in Official Championship Team of the year, he was class, seeing as he 'seems' to have done poor at Norwich, Mourinho might not want Naughton so hopefully he will be ours."

Have to disagree slightly with your opinion about english keepers proudfox, the standard is very good BUT they do not get game time at there respective clubs. Ray Clemence has stated this many times and it is a worry! We (norwich) have 3 very good english keepers in our squad, not many other clubs can say that! Ruddy is only getting better and at the moment is the 2nd best english keeper, but believe our young jed steer will be our number 1 in the next 2 or 3 seasons cause he is an outstanding prospect of a keeper

 

When you see championship goalkeepers getting called up it shows the standard isnt great. Scott Loach is awful, Franky Fielding isnt great and dont even get me started on Joe Lewis. All 3 have been around the England set up. David Stockdale aswell and he has never been a no.1 at a prem club.

Paul Robinson and Ben Foster arent great and there not interested in playing for England anymore. Rob Green isnt that good anymore, just look what happened at the world cup. Then David James is passed it

The best keepers in the prem this season have been Tim Krul and Ali Al Habsi. After Joe Hart the best english keeper this season has been Ruddy and then no one else stands out.

Its dangerous having 2 good young goalkeepers unless you loan one out as you are effecting one development.

 

Steer has been loaned out already but I imagine one of them will be loaned out next season, hopefully steer will get a championship full season loan cause he will be the real deal.

 

Vorm

 

Vorm has been very good but i think Krul and Al Habsi have been better

 

Another ****e ref decision.

 

half time and the promised stuffing hasnt happened yet.
how do they get a peno when anyone else would be penalised for backing on?
oh yes its mike (ill send izzet off but only book him if hes not playing)dean
not content with stealing our seats they have even managed to get the ref that hates us most
cant hear them tweeting yet though

 

Clearly we were wrong, Leicester do have better players than us. One cup game obviously means we're crap.

 

Do you still think you are miles better then us. You get a **** decision for a peno what never in a million years was. Wes Morgan put the ball over the line but the useless lino and ref didnt see it.

Comprehensive win for us

 

To be fair I think a foxes win was always on the cards today considering our league performances. We were always going to attack from the start. Very well deserved win and even more impressive as Norwich have looked excellent this season.

 

Take it on the chin mate

Good game.

 

We are 24 places better than you. Shocks occur.

Well played.

 

Yes you are ahead of us by some distance but what bearing did it have on the result today

It wasnt a shock, it wasnt a smash and grab you was comprehensively outplayed
