Norwich post match thread

I don't want to get into the argument about Pellets so i'd just say he chose to give Bony the benefit of doubt by leaving him on the field ahead of Nacho. Nacho was doing the things he needed to do as efficiently as any close-to-decent number 10 would. Bony on the other hand was the target man and naturally should get the better chances. Needless to say, he had a poor game today and I hope Pellers would be decisive enough to give him a rest come Tuesday.
 
If Yaya was moaning about Bony, he has every right. I wonder if MP is just playing him every game before he gets rid of him soon?

All the people talking about Nacho Nacho Nacho. He did NOTHING before he was subbed, and despite the awful mistakes Bony did at the end of the game he played better than Kelechi in the first time. It was the right sub, which doesn't mean I want Kun back as soon as possible...

...yeah, NOTHING; apart from creating the first chance for Bony which he then snatched at and skewed well wide

Agreed, but he was getting bullied every time he got the ball and losing it easily. Nacho is a amazing player with a bright future and in this game he should haven been subbed, and he was.

that's exactly what he was doing... Yaya cannot win, can he?
I read the agenda thread and the same language that people complain about there is what is spewed here by the supporters...
The game was never in doubt (quite boring actually) until Hart's error... i think the player were already conserving energy then they got jolted back into action and did ok within the chaos... 3 additional points no matter how ugly...

Go back and read his lips...I read "fuck you. Fuck you Manuel. Fuck you man." I get it. Bony had just made yet another terrible decision and yaya wanted him off. Who gives. That sub had nothing to do with offense. Take your claps from the fans and see the bigger picture. I truly love the guy. He's irreplaceable. But come on...

And btw, it's awesome to look at this thread and read 10 pages in the first 15 minutes. When the team beat 5-1 Palace you can't see anyone talking, but when something happen all the drama queens start questioning everything, you are pathetic.

A considerable amount of talking points today. Wednesday there was "we played excellent, well done lads". It's how forums work normally, check everyone else's and if you don't like it; log out.

I think he was just mad that Bony didnt pass it to him, he seems to be pointing towards Bony when he was going off and Pellers seemed to agree.

I hope that's all it was. I'll have to watch it back again. Everyone, myself included knows that Bony should have laid that ball on, and while even that is a stupid thing to lose your mind over, it's much better than having a go at the manager, which is what I saw. Again, hope I'm wrong. Maybe everyone was rightly on edge after a spotty performance. I want harmony above all, hope this week is smooth sailing in the camp.

I don't disagree but for me it could have been the toss of a coin between him and Wilf.
 
Otamendi and Kompany look a very formidable partnership. Would have been another clean sheet but for Joe's woeful cock up.

Thought Fernando did well when he came on.

Though we looked slow and outright knackered I thought we controlled that game and deserved to win.

BUT

That last 10 is some of the worst football we've played. From Hart, To Kolarov being a twat and snatching the ball for a shit penalty.

Still, win's a win's a win. Now I'm off to take a double dose of propranolol until my heart calms down.

Log off then. There's no one forcing you to read the thread.

He put in Bony twice (both chances completely wasted), won the ball back several times in their third, pressed Norwich's back line well, and generally looked threatening. But yeah, he did nothing.

Not sure what match you were watching.

Fuck off Yaya. You want to be City these days, you get on board with the program. City 2015 means smooth, efficient, CLASSY above all. We handle our business, we give the press nothing, we fight to the end, we back each other up to the end. Bad enough the shit he pulls every summer but to see him show up Manuel and whine like a goddamned baby is awful. He's done wonderful things for the club over the years but my god what a lack of perspective and honor from the man.

Bony staying on while Iheanacho was pulled a crime against humanity, but you didn't see whining there. Yaya gets the hook with two minutes left so we can sure things up (practically a pat on the back letting him get the individual clap-off from the home fans - a gift almost) and he wants to make a scene? ugh. bad taste in my mouth.

Well said. Remember after Yaya had a fantastic season and won the double, he created the cake fiasco. Getting in the news for the wrong reasons.
 
Why would Pellegrini take Iheanacho off instead of Bony, who was pretty poor? 'Nacho was doing his best trying to create whatever slim chances he could against a tough defence. Even otherwise, Iheanacho is not playing in the CL next game while Bony has to.

Taking De Bruyne off at 1-0 was a huge risk, and it almost backfired, Yaya was angry at having to come off, but I think he didn't want a repeat of another Norwich goal, and then nobody being available to push the team forward for a win..

Kolarov Vs Sterling penalty taker - Maybe Kolarov was officially next on the list after Yaya, but I would have let Sterling take it this time, after he managed to get the penalty on his own, maybe would have boosted his confidence even more. That Kolarov missed, is another topic of discussion..

Thankfully, we still got 3 points despite the comedy of errors, so I'm happy at how it finally turned out
