Norwich (a) post-match thread

[Rammy Blue]

One (japs) eye on Wednesday?

Well that went well then didn’t it....

 

[simon23]

Not playing for a new contract anymore....

thought exactly the same thing during the match...cynical and probably not the case but i wouldnt have given him a new contract.....out of the players that play rgualrly that Pep has bought...he is easily the most inaffective.....he offers nothign defensively and is not int he same league as the two silva's and KDB normally so for me he has no plae in this team....this is not a reaction to todays result...somethign ive thought from very early on in his career with us......

 

[mancity56]

He was by far our best player today and has played well in the other league games so far.

He’s settled in faster than any other player we’ve had in that position, including Fernandinho.

Game of opinions mate. Would much rather play dinho, especially if he’s having to play the current back 4.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Someone mentioned Everton away in his first season. That was poor imo. I think we’ve tended to have one or two of these games a season since.

We’re a different animal now compared to the everton game, today we were a little lamb who led down & had its tummy tickled

 

[HelloCity]

Yet we go out and spend £60m on Cancelo? Its not like Danilo was terrible when he played.

We only spent around £25-30 million in cash on him.

I’m guessing Leicester didn’t want Danilo.

 

[Andy bluemac]

PEP picked his team assuming points were in the bag !! How wrong he was

 

[simon23]

Only Aguero of the starters can hold his head up for me. Yes he missed chances but he was our best player by a mile. Sterling was shite as was Silva and Bernardo.

Why did we spend the whole game just crossing the ball in the box. We never play like that! Didnt get behind them once.

thought rodri out of the starting 11 wasnt bad either..

the subs were all awful as well Inlcuding KDB

22 WhatsApp messages from my dipper mate since their first.

To be fair that’s the only positive I can find... he ALWAYS shoots his gob off only to be left with egg on his face.. I normally bite my tongue till May and then laugh.. we went 2014 Anfield game together and he was almost as unbearable last year.. him piping up is a good omen.. our defence is not.

 

[Nellies left peg]

I'm so pissed off with Stones and Otamendi .both are sloppy and careless and everytime they start I fear the worst and starting them together is madness.I'm off to hit the Henry Westons now to drown my sorrows

 

[paulchapo]

...weird to feel like this after a league game. We’ve been spoiled.

But that was proper shite.

It is because there is no margin for error. Already five points behind and with that defence it will soon be irretrievable.

 

[BlueLook]

Good grief, what a terrible performance. Whole back 5 were poor, first 20 minutes were utter crap and set the marker for the rest of the match with a slow build up, casual all over the pitch and some rank rotten passing.
Very disappointing from David Silva, Sterling and Bernardo.
Walker has played himself out of the RB position and on that showing, thank god
KDB came on and did...errr, not much.
I think we should give Jesus more of a chance, he looked lively when he came on.

You are very brave to come here criticise players other than Gundo, Mahrez and Zin. Not like many other cowards.

 

[dctid]

That’s because that didn’t happen.

He wanted one and the management told him we couldn’t afford it.

A centre half should have been the first and if necessary the only signing

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I wouldn't say I don't give a fcuk but i'm on the way to being p*ssed up!! haha!

We used to sing that for the reason of being completely bobbins mate. Now it's sung in irony only!

We got beat and will take it on the chin. But we as blues have never had it so good.

We pick ourselves up and move on. This defeat should galvanise the troops. Keep the faith.

 

[hgblue]

Surprised we didn’t strengthen that centre back position, not a fan of Otamendi, and Stones has had a few injuries recently. Left ourselves wide open to an injury to Laporte and now we’re reaping the result. The defensive issues are serious imo.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Marathon lads, at the end of the season we will have nearly 100 points (again).

 

[kaz7]

We were always going to struggle without vinny playing or not,now we are our best 2 defenders down
It's tough to maintain the standard for a 3rd year without then,downsize your expectations this season

 

[mikemcfc]

we lost, we deserved it, poor from top to bottom, it happens.
maybe been said but,
what bothers me is the certain to come media shit storm from everybody that's coming,
It will be for a long time to come now as we can't make this up quickly.

 

[117 M34]

Stats again, thought this was cured.

City
Shots. 25
Shots on target. 8

Norwich
Shots. 7
Shots on target 3

Deja Vu

There's only one stat that matters

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Should never play Gundogan and Silva in midfield together again

Should never play gundogan again full stop

 

[Mattyc55]

Struggle to see a fixture where Liverpool drop points and we’ve lost one already. Think it all depends on whether they keep their key players fit as this Laporte injury could be absolutely huge for us dropping silly points like today.
