Bargain signing of the year - despite David Freezer repeatedly saying he only cost £1.5m. Everyone knows we paid an extra fee (£4.5m?) to Getafe but that still represents a bargain when you look at some of the fees and wages paid by our rivals in this league. Long may being a first choice player here, rather than a highly-paid bench warmer elsewhere float his boat
Buendia is now valued at £16.2m on TransferMarkt and given his age, you'd have to at least double that to be near his true value. DF also gave a glimpse at his tactics for the match: "It was a complicated game. We played one of the best teams in the world. A team who knows what they are playing for when each and every point counts. They were highly motivated. Then you look at our situation with many key players unavailable. We had a difficult week. It was tough to find the right decisions. We had to play slightly differently. We had to try and allow Manchester City possession in certain areas and certain players. It was complicated to prepare this game. But my lads fulfilled everything in a perfect way." Certainly we looked much tighter in the penalty area and forced them wide or deep much of the time. Aguero's goal was one of the exceptions and they had other headers, but most of the time they were forced to take low percentage shots. Byram and Lewis did well on the flanks with Buendia and Cantwell supporting them. Between them, they made it work.

I've seen this clip posted around a lot but I can't see the video in Aus. I can imagine he's being complimentary to Norwich but anything else?
Just the way that we showed (shew as TC said in his interview!!), that we weren't afraid of Citeh and their megastars. Being technical - do you know someone who can set you up with a VPN and 'pretend' you're in UK??

Good detailed tactical analysis which shows how DF's plan to deny ManCity possession in more dangerous areas was achieved on the pitch: https://www.coachesvoice.com/tactical-analysis-norwich-3-manchester-city-2/
It was just unreal the way EVERY fan supported the team and DF. yet at the beginning of September last year, there was a growing number of fans clamouring for DF and his staff to be sacked!!!
