The Stock Check

The Stock Check – Saturday – Part Two

Anthony Pilkington earns the points for Norwich with a superb headed effort extending his side’s unbeaten run to five. Robin Van Persie fails to score or assist for the first time as a starter for United, with the Canaries resilient defence proving too good for the most prolific attack in the Premier League:

Going Up

Norwich Defence
The Canaries came into this evening’s game having conceded a single goal in their previous four Gameweeks but the visit of United was considered a real test of their resolve. A 1-0 win continued their upturn in resilience as Chris Hughton’s influence starts to have a real effect – they now have five clean sheets this term, three more than this evening’s beaten opponents.

Anthony Pilkington
His first goal of the campaign was enough to produce the points for the hosts. Norwich have not tasted defeat since a 4-1 battering at Chelsea in Gameweek 7 and while they may not score many – netting more than once on a single occasion so far – Hughton’s side concede even less; the opposite of last season’s form under former boss Paul Lambert.

Going Down

United Defence
David De Gea was given the day off after a trip to the dentist caused problems but Anders Lindegaard could do little about Pilkington’s excellent headed winner. United have now conceded first in eight of their 12 matches and for once, their attack was unable to bail them out.

United Attack
Tonsillitis kept Wayne Rooney out of the reckoning and with Javier Hernandez selected to start, Robin Van Persie dropped a little deeper. Having racked up 29 goals in the previous 10, with at least two goals per game over that run, the visitors were snuffed out for the first time since Gameweek 1. Three favourable fixtures in the next four look set to offer Van Persie a chance to rectify tonight’s blip – this was the first time he has failed to produce a goal or assist when starting a league game for United.

    Cameron set to rise tonight, what is his attacking threat like?

    Worth the double up with Huth, or get a Sunderland defender for DGW?

      noticed a few games ago on the player position graphic thingy that he can get really far forward, like baines/ivan levels. little threat though it seems, although he scored a few in the mls

      Cameron has zero attacking threat. I don't believe he goes up for corners either.

        same here.. the threat of rotation seems overblown on this forum to the point where he seemed a priority out after this GW (Tough fixtures and exit from UCL)

    Original plan was Tevez out for Suarez today. Now what? Should I stick to my plan or stick with Tevez?

      I planned on taking a hit to bring in Suarez for Tevez, but guess I will wait one more week now with Silva back and Tevez playing good. Will prolly get him in next week tho.
