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.

Well after my absence (and today's events), I aim to make it up to you as far as the picture posts go.

So for today's picture post, there's not just the usual three photos, but instead I have completed the entire second part of the collection (that's EIGHTY SIX more photos) and this time I've remembered to make it all public 🙂

So to see the entire second part visit: http://bitly.com/bundles/reinaman/7

I have also begun the third part of the collection with this picture of Mexico City: http://i.imgur.com/yYa6f.jpg Yes, it's actually real

To see the entire collection see this page: http://bitly.com/bundles/reinaman/8
This is where you will be able to find links to each part of the collection, and also whether a part is complete or not.

Enjoy browsing through them, it might take a while 😛

So, I recklessly took an 8pt hit this week.

Out went cazorla, pienaar and lambert, and they rack-up a total of 17 points. Add to that the 8pt hit and my new players need to get 25 pts to break even.

In came silva, fellaini and berbatov. That's 18pts with bebatov to play

I may get away with it, but it's touch and go. It's going to be a long night...
