Re: Van Dijk

He's a Champions League defender no doubt - has everything you'd want in a modern day centre-half.

Romeu was very good in the first half but we got much more joy around him in the second, but I agree he should have walked for two blatant yellow case offences.

Re: Robbie brady

I've read on sky that Ranieri says he's only got room for two left-sided players in his squad (Fuchs and Chilwell) hence letting Schlupp leave.

There's not a huge difference between Schlupp and Brady.

A few things I've read about Brady and Palace would suggest he'd be going there as a left-back, and Norwich fans are pretty much in agreement that he's better further forwards and would prefer to play there. I'm guessing we would very much see him as a wide midfielder, which along with our Irish con...

Re: Time for a new manager

We'll probably have Defour, Hendrick, JBG all playing against Boro; and I have a feeling Tarkowski will get the nod at right back.

So that'll be 4 out of 5 permanent additions since last christmas, with the other being Nick Pope. Is that enough?

The comparison with Aidy Boothroyd is void. When Burnley were relegated Dyche managed to turn us into Champions, when Watford were relegated they were mediocre at best and Boothroyd was sacked. There's no way the club would sack Dyche at this point, nor should they. Our home performances and results...

Dyche is a quite exceptional manager at Championship level - he knows the league inside out, knows exactly what it takes to be successful and has the skills to make it happen.

Re: After five games, what have we learnt to date?

Burnley - just like last time we're taking a while to find our feet at PL level, putting the shape of the team above our attacking fluency. Suspect when we find our best team, possibly with Hendrick wide right and Bamford up front with Vokes, we'll go on a good little run. Middlesbrough - going down.

Dyche explained the game plan, put three in midfield to keep the ball a bit better and so restrict the momentum and tempo that Leicester are so good at building at home.
