Norwich (a) post-match thread

[tommo74]

16 corners. 25 attempts on goal 65 %possession.
Nothing to do with lack of effort. Bad day at the office. Do you think.we should win.every game we play ?

You have just answered.your own question, 16 corners 0 goals, 25 attempts on goal 2.goals, we were piss fucking poor, if you want to sugar coat it to make you feel better carry on, and those shots on goal were piss poor, there keeper probably made 1 decent save all game

One question, have you ever played football?

I give up. You clearly know more than pep. Stones and otamendi are shite and aren't fit to wear the shirt. And losing a football game is the end of the world, I'll probably look for another team tomorrow

Hopefully Harwood-Bellis or Garcia will get a place midweek. Either of them left footed?

It isn't the end of the world, and pep does.know but had no choice, do you think when laporte was fit pep left stones on the bench for a.laugh

I'm confused who's the problem? Otamendi or stones? And what's the solution. Sell them.both? Buy Maguire? Or maybe get rid of Sergio because he.mised two good chances that would.have affected the result. Or maybe accept that sometimes results dont go.the way you want because theres two teams in a game,.and that doesnt mean all our players.are.shit

Thought you give up? Obviously not, the whole 11 were.the problem today, no one turned up,both centre halves are not good enough, is that ok for you

Eddie couldn't do anything about any of the goals

Walker at fault for the first, playing everyone on side and also had a very mediocre game

Stones did ok I thought

Otta was shocking. Those two errors in less than 60 seconds! The hugely underhit pass that put Stones in trouble, then a poor touch whilst he was wondering what was for tea

Zinchenko had more of the ball than anyone else on the pitch and generally in miles of space, but did nothing of note. I think Norwich were happy to let him have the ball

Gundogan, invisible

David Silva, very average

Bernardo, same as Dave

Rodri did ok

Sterling, wasteful and poor decision making

Sergio scored a good goal and made a mess of a great heading opportunity. He was much too careful with that last chance when he pretty much backpassed his shot

Mahrez and Jesus never got into the game

And why do you keep saying buy Maguire? Never once mentioned him and for the record I think he is shit

Had a quick look through the thread and as expected there some serious over reaction and shit written.

Yes this was a bit of a nightmare because we conceded three poor goals in the main ways that City concede poor goals but it's a long time since that happened. If we cannot look back on this as another freak result, we have got serious problems but let's see what the next few games bring: they will come thick and fast.

I'm sure they work on it in training but they have to do better at attacking near post corners when they are defending.

Being more clinical upfront would help and has been my biggest bugbear with the team for years. Three powder puff shots in the dying minutes of the game was very frustrating.

I would have liked to see Pep start KDB but his absence did cause the team to concede three awful goals. The good news is they can learn from the errors and do work on the training ground to improve the chances of not conceding like that again.

 

[OB1]

So they worked hard today?

They did work hard. Lack of hard work wasn't the problem.
