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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

              You're probably right. But I also think I tend to take more risks (with captaincies, benchings) unless I have a 'pacemaker' team each week. Stops me trying anything overtly silly. 😀

        But there is a terrible bias for a site that advocates all formats of the game,

        I may add that it is the members that have that problem and they need to change that attitude i.e people that don't want to link there teams. If you play the SKY game of course you don't want to link your team!!! So just give some posters a break 'cause I'm here now and won't allow myself or others to be bullied OK

I'd call that being antagonistic (and we do enjoy our antagonistic characters round here now and again... RBJ a few years ago comes to mind)

      Consolation, yes. Many of us captained RVP, you have Berba, Duff, Hangeland and Bego to play and you benched Gallas wisely.

      Hope. Not so much.

      Sorry, I think a Mata out knee jerk is a terrible idea. Sleep on it. Chelsea were lacking Mata today, but when he plays most of their attacks seem to be worked through him and Chelsea will attack a lot.

          Too true, wish Tevez had had a blank or Suarez had got a yellow, would've made everything easier. I think I'm going to stick for now because Liverpool have a few tricky away games coming up, it's just his impending price rises might haunt me :S

      I think the plan is to get Silva in for City cover and hope he's sufficient. I'm still avoiding City cause unsure where the points are going to come from week to week, and every week I grit my teeth as City continue to knock in goals.

        Here. I've had Tevez since GW3(ish), but have always been afraid to captain him because of fear of Mancini's rotation (and the fact that I have a ready-made captain in RVP). But, same as you, after I almost made the "safe" option to captain RVP again I grew some balls and handed Tevez the armband. I think it worked out okay.
