Norwich (a) post-match thread

[Manc in London]

Worrying thing IMO was the attitude. Just didnt look motivated at all.

The players worked their socks off. It was poor application, not a lack of effort, in my opinion.

He wasn't good today, the point is Sergio normally responds well to being dropped. We want him back to his best, yes? Or atleast like before the international break.

That's just what I'd do anyway, I don't get to pick the team though.

He scored,he is in a good run,he is already on his toes is my point

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

Yes just said the same in my analysis. This could be as disappointing as last season was magnificent. That centre back pairing just isn't good enough. The Laurel and Hardy of defenders. Zinchenko is looking like what he is, a midfield player shoehorned into left back and Walker is, well Walker. Just watching the first goal again, shocking and Ederson should have done better. The second goal they said our centre halves were all over the place and they were. Redknap is right for the third goal. Otamendi loses it and just throws his hands up, no effort to do anything until it's too late, absolutely criminal. I suspect Pep.is peeling the paint off the dressing room wall at the moment but unfortunately we are stuck with that centre back pairing for months. Terrifying.

Won 4 trophies last year with this shower of shit though!

This.

But... the only thing of note he said is the CB comment.. a gamble 80% of us were not comfortable with.... he’s bang on with that unfortunately.

We beat Watford next week and dippers lose at Chelsea and its business as usual, i know its not often we lose but its hardly the end of the world, get rid of Walker,Zinchenko, Gundagon,Stones, Ottamendi etc, etc come on.

 

[Paul1970]

No, Just not good enough

Why buy him then

 

[ojeme]

We must be joking if we think that pool will slip up if we gift them another 7 points.

Pep keep things simple please.

I'm over this defeat already, on to Shakhtar.

Very true but our style of football today generated many chances to influence the result yet we mostly failed to even get our shots on target.
Norwich made the most of their chances.

Yeah. I think by average we create about double the chances on the goal so to score about 3-4 goals. It was rather conspicious how well Norwich managed to defend against us especially in the box.

Congrats to Norwich, hope your fans enjoyed the day. Let’s draw our next game so the dippers can go 7 points clear. They can then celebrate the title for 7 months before we win the league in May.
Fucking terrible all round today but let’s not act like spoilt cûnts. Our team have given us so much pleasure over recent years I’ll allow them an off day every now and again

Good shout mate..
