Agree about how we were sucked too far forward, left a gap in the centre that norwich exploited by a simple punt upfield, and the lack of a commanding figure in our back line compounded the problem. Imo our front line is at it's best when receiving the ball played in front of them, by being too far forward that is not an option, beating a player from a standing start is v. dif. against packed defences. Raz and Bernie didn't become useless over-night, David and Kun were never allowed an inch, (apart from a couple of solid chances) the midfield really struggled to find a forward pass option, inevitably settling for the "start again option" which suited norwich's staying deep plan.
In short, this combination of players, against that opponent, did not work.
Not the end of the world, even the greatest have off-days, MichaelAngelo made a right mess of his mam's kitchen ceiling, that Da Vinci geezer only painted one Mona Lisa, and Van Gogh's helicopter never even flew. Just goes to show, it's tough at t'top....even tougher stayin' there.
