EPL: Norwich City switch on the light for Leicester City party

Norwich City boss, Daniel Farke, is defiant about his side’s current form ahead of their trip to Leicester City on Saturday.

The German took the Canaries up last season and is trying to re-establish the club in the top flight but they are mired in the relegation zone after 16 games.

Norwich are 19th, four points off safety and face a daunting trip to an in-form City side in second place and flying with eight consecutive wins to their name – a top flight record for the club.

And Farke has defended his side’s poor run of recent results that has seen them win just one of their last 11 games.

The most recent defeat saw Norwich relinquish a first-half lead to lose 2-1 to Sheffield United.

Farke, he insists, has the backing of his players.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with attitude,” Farke told the PinkUn.

“It is about being switched on in the key areas.”It was not a situation we were tactically outplayed, or we didn’t have enough bodies in our own box.

“We prepared the team for those type of situations to make them aware they have to be switched on.

“You feel this disappointment for one or two days. I am not here to be entertained or even enjoy a game. I am here to win for my football club. Sheffield was a great chance, with a win, to be back in the mix.

“We were greedy for the win and we could have been 2-0, 3-0 up at half-time. Then we conceded two bad goals and it was a bit of a shock for my young side who were struggling with the nerves. We had everything in our hands at the start of the second half.

“Then we make two big mistakes. That would test even an experienced side.”
