Norwich (a) post-match thread

[Utter bobbins]

Our defending was dreadful.
Our build up play was too slow.
We were unbelievably wasteful in front of goal.
Pep left our best player, Kevin, on the bench.

Season over as PL or CL challengers if we continue like this.

And another one

 

[Bill the Blue]

No problem mate nerves are a little raw for everyone tonight. Not sure about respected, I post a bloody lot, too much time on my hands these days lol!

Nobody's giving up on anything we have turned worse around before. Hopefully Pep comes up with a plan to sort the defence out.

Mate, I feel like you're part of my family along with all the other posters I've been reading about for too many years I can remember.. haha! I remember watching Paulo 1 chop so your posts

 

[Fordyboy46]

Any decent free agent centre halves out there?

Well we are, all one Blue family that all want the best for the club. Like all families we will see things differently and fall out from time to time but the love remains.

Took his goal superbly but had 2 other gilt-edged headed chances and failed to hit the target with either.

They all miss chances,it's part of the game,it does not mean as one poster suggested that he is not on his toes and should be dropped

Me, and I will play for just 50,000 a week

There is a really good one called Eric Garcia somewhere, who has not put a foot wrong when he has played .....

Problem we have in these games is we are always going to be lambasted for loosing, money Craic will never go away but we have to defend from the from & tonight we gifted them space & then the fucking opportunity in front of goal.
Just like the Spurs goal what the fuck are we doing on the front marker, where is the high press, Norwhich passed it with ease.

If we scored 3-4 tonight they would have scored 5, we deserved fuck all tonight the whole team was shit, even so we still created but we try to finish the hard way.
The team wasn't right & for God sake get the fullbacks sorted or it's curtains..

i agree

For me we should not be focussing on domestic cup comps this year.....play reserves in both of them....League is the priority (and always should be) and then Champs league......focus on the two....we have . great squad but its think in certain areas (defensively).....I think Gundogan is a liability as is Ottomendi..again this isnt based on today but longer term observations.

 

[chanceatthefarpost]

Congratulations to Norwich. They worked their bollox of, took advantages of our mistakes and created an atmosphere that proper fans should relate to and enjoy. So we lost a game. Under the best manager in the world with players who have all contributed to 198 points over two seasons and an unprecedented 100 points, and domestic treble. Context.

 

[simon23]

Right, we rarely do Exocet missile shots, but I lost count of the times our shooting was scuffed, instead of the usual way we zip or stab the ball away.

same wiht our passing....misplaced ones every where today

Top Man !!

 

[MillisleBlue]

Humbled by the mighty Norwich and by the looks of things we're gonna need to score at least 6 in every game from now on to stand a chance. We can only hope that Pep has a pair of steel toe-capped Doc Martens and uses them to kick seven or eight arses over the next couple of days. Not good enough, lads, nowhere near.

Night night Blues:

 

[simon23]

How much time have you seen of Cancelo ?

highligts reals and little bits here or there....but ive heard numerous comments on it as well which all point to the same thing......fantasti going forward and in posession but not as strong defenisvely...guess we will see

 

[carlosthejackal]

Horrendous result , if Liverpool had done that today we would have been loving it , if Utd had performed like that we would have pissed ourselves, it’s an ominous warning. Either shape up or leave it’s as simple as that , quite sure the manager has pressed that point home .

 

[Roachy]

Well that was a shocker wasn"t it. That defence today was straight out of a comic. Appalling doesn"t even come close. Walker was all over the show today, and everyone else not far behind. Very bewildering how they collectively looked so poor.

 

[mick10]

What a fucking bunch of moaners and complainers some of you have turned into... your sense of entitlement makes you sound just like Scouse Scum and Man Ure Scum fans.

Can't you realise we can't win all the time?

Fuck off with your ill thought out bollocks based mostly on ignorance of real life...

Norwich played out of their skins and their fans, players and club personnel deserve their victory.

Well done NCFC

JJ

Don’t see many complaining City didn’t win. It’s more the performance, and the fact of the matter is it was poor. I think more that that an entitlement to win.

 

[fredmont]

Versus Spurs and Norwich

For 55 shots 4 goals
Against 6 shots 5 goals

Crazy stats

.
Otamendi looked drugged up after their third today. Nobbled????

 

[simon23]

Ottamendi is awfull get him out of back 4
Fern must play now.

while i agree on otto, Im not sure fern will be much better - he is a great player but he aint a centre half and will get caught out. (he has previous for it as well) in similar situations like Otto today....

Mendy coming back would allow us to go to 3 -5-2 which may be a way of getting roung this shortage of decent centre halves however....stone in the middle of a back 3 maybe better (but Im not 100% sold on it) with our present incubants

The loss of Laporte and Kompany is going to hit us hard

 

[levets]

?.nd failed to hit the target with either.

No disputing it, he was as poor as anybody else tonight.[/QUOTE]
One was a great save to be fair.
