Norwich City (A) - Post-Match Thread

Imagine how much better we could be though, if we had ‘the best keeper in the world’, ‘the best centre half in the world’ and ‘the best right back in the world’? We could have a defence like Liverpool’s…….

If we had a striker?

If we had a striker?

Imagine. And if we had the best front three in England, if not Europe, if not the world, we might have a chance of winning the league…

I know. I’m just thinking that with 4 out of the best 5 defenders in the world and the best front 3, along with a world class midfield, how disappointed you’d be to be this far behind city!

To anyone at the game, can you upload any videos of the fans from yesterday, some great noise. No wonder Pep was bowing to the support.

Blues........there must be some videos knocking around??

I was there (wish I'd have videoed some of it!!) and we were off the scale from start to finish, on and definitely off the pitch

You just knew it was going to be special in the pub singing about a Norwich fan with a pink shirt on
Then the concourse pre match was loud as well.
I was looking for the fan with the pink shirt in the Norwich end hoping for round two.

My son and 19 year old grandson watched on the tele and thought City were poor and fortunate to keep a clean sheet. One of my other sons watched on the tele elsewhere but missed the first half hour. He thought Norwich were never in the match at all. I watched on the TV on my own and thought Norwich threatened in the first half hour but the threat never materialised and in the second half their task was trying to keep the score down.

I find it interesting that the views of different supporters, usually very much the same because closely related, differed on this match and I'm sure that it was the effect of the TV commentary. I am NOT saying that I found that commentary biased or anti-City because I did not. What I do think is that the commentators have to speak to a large audience which includes supporters of both teams and a large number of "neutrals", so the commentary tried to suggest the match was competitive for as long as possible and that Norwich's surges forward were actually far more dangerous than they were. Hitting our post was a major incident, a blow for Norwich and a bit of good fortune for us: I was not surprised or offended when the commentator stressed what a good match Norwich were playing and even that City were a little rattled (which we weren't). By the 30 minute mark I thought Norwich had tried really hard, been no-one's pushovers but would do well to avoid a thrashing! I would not have expected a commentator to say that because their job should involve respecting both sets of supporters rather than giving a strictly objective view.

Anyone else just love Zinchenko? Such a useful player. Makes up for maybe a lack of physical characteristics with a brilliant football mind.

I'm glad he stayed to prove himself. He could have taken the easy way out and joined Wolves.

His faith is his ability is now being rewarded.

Just wish he could score a goal. I think he's the only outfield regular who hasn't scored yet. Perhaps we should let him take the next penalty.

He scored some thunderbastards for us over the years.
