Norwich post match thread

That's definitely how it felt yesterday. Whenever we miss lots of chances we create there comes a point where you start thinking "as long as it's not one of those days I don't care how we end up winning". We won. All that matters. Nearly one of those days.

Otamendi and Vinny look a very good partnership. I had my doubts but just shows once again the scouts/technical staff got the signing bang on. It's a shame for Mangala but that's football.

Another assist for KDB. Thought Kelechi did okay although it's hard when the striker he's supporting is struggling.

Toure for me showed once again why he's so important to how we play. IN tight games like yesterday his passing and his ability to get involved in the attack is crucial.

Bring on Sevilla.

Thanks for this.

I agree.

I too was disappointed when Nacho came off. Was it the wrong decision v Bony though? Bony is more able to lead the line and still needs minutes to play his way back into form. Given he's the one in the hot-seat on Tuesday, I can see why he was kept on.
 
3pts will do for me, not a bad performance, we have to give Norwich credit yesterday, they worked really hard. If Bony had his shooting boots on he could and probably should have had a first half hat trick. Good work by Sterling when he came on barring that strange choice to run wide when he and Navas were clear on the counter.

No bad performances for me yesterday, just the fixtures & injuries taking their toll. Draw in Seville will be a good result, nick a win at Villa next week then get the squad rested and refreshed during the inevitably dull international break.
 
Was there yesterday, and it wasn't the best game in the world to watch. If we played against a better team, we would of dropped points today. Tbf, I thought Otamendi had a good game again, its becoming clear already that thats a good buy. Thought Bony had a frustrating one again, KDB also not at his best.

The end of the day, it was a "messy" win thats worth another 3 points. Just roll on Seville away now!

Good atmosphere from where I was sat yesterday aswell, a great turnout aswell.
 
Bony is fucking shit. Overrated mistake. Fucking donkey.

Otomendi had a belting nut, and from a corner. Fucking nailed it.

Yaya's penner was a bullet, their keeper had no chance.

Don't let kolarov take penatys. That was abysmal.

Hart fucked up and guaranteed he knows it. He's probably more pissed of about it than any of us.

Fair to Norwich, they set up well and had a plan. Did very well too. I don't watch City to see us win all the time (as we all know we used to always fucking lose!) but being top of the league at the moment we had to keep up the pressure. Job done.

A better team might not have camped on their 18 yard box with all men behind the ball
 
Apparently on goals on Sunday Fernandinho dived for the penalty. I'm sure there seemed a kick to his knee. F@ckers

Taking Toure off was a mistake for me. He controls our play in games like that. We were like headless chickens after he went off. He was our best player with Ottamendi yesterday.

He came off in injury time! Norwich had nothing to lose at that point and were throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at us. He'd already pushed up by that point so it was definitely the right decision to bring him off and shore up the midfield.
We managed to win a penalty in the couple of minutes he was off the pitch so we didn't fall apart that much.

He was taken out but it would have needed a replay to see it. Then there was the handball - which curiously is when the whistle was blown.

Not seen GoS yet but given that the ref sent the player off for handball, I'd assume the pen was actually awarded for that; otherwise the handball would not have counted and he would not have needed to send the player off, would he?
 
We played poorly but won. Games like yesterday's decide championships. We just need to get through to the international break unscathed and then we'll hopefully get a few players back. I think some of the team are running on empty right now. We need to win at Villa but I'd take a draw at Sevilla if it was offered right now.

Bournemouth tried that different approach and we could have scored a dozen goals. Norwich did exactly the right thing, we were a bit lacklustre and are starting to really miss Silva now. But we scrappily got the win.

Quite. That's what the pen was given for (and my point). GoS just having a pop at us...
