Midfield inconsistency has been Norwich City’s Achilles heel
Once again, Norwich City are staring down the barrel of a midfield shortage ahead of this weekend’s clash against struggling Hull.
Johannes Hoff Thorup joked at his pre-match press conference that they appeared to be ‘cursed’. This season, Norwich have been unable to achieve any rhythm or continuity in those three midfield positions.
The numbers graphically illustrate the problems and prove where the central area of the pitch has been their major Achilles heel throughout this campaign, hindering their progress and contributing to the inconsistency that has been one of the few constants.
