Noisy yes, but the mic was right under our noses..............!

Actually thought we were much better today than against WBA.

2 reasons. Firstly we were playing a much better and more dangerous team on their patch.

Secondly I complained about wednesdays performance, it was so slow allowing Brum to get back behind the ball.

I actually liked the fact that there was a big gap in midfield. It allowed an end to end game, encouraged Norwich to attack and guess what because we have a much better front four we were able to create havoc in the extra space we don't normally have.

It's like how United win except with a lot more class.

So you think we are better because we were less dominant?

Against West Brom, we won because of high energy pressing and our system suiting our gameplan. Today we won in spite of that

Although I know you're not fishing you really need to give it up. How on god's earth you can slag a performance like that is beyond belief, if we had got double figures today Norwich couldn't have complained.

Either you've misread my argument or you are legitimately stupid.

Before Yaya came on, it was 2-1 and we were getting battered after scoring two fantastic individual. Watch the game again, you're wrong, plain and simply. Or read the match thread up until the 70th minute

For those of us with ESPN, can somebody PLEASE tells us what Summerbee said and what was the deal with Tevez and interview?

he had a go about sky asking about the dive and said it should be about the game and he also said norwich had a go

We were poor today, our system was wrong and until Yaya came in we were flagging.

We had 4 great pieces of individual skill to create our first four goals, not because our system created space or opportunity.

Papered over the cracks here, we got it wrong today.

4 pieces of great skill ?? what game was you watching ??






















It was 3 and 2 of them came from Norwich..

We were getting 'battered' for 10-15 minutes because they had just scored, the crowd got behind them again and they found a bit of confidence.

Ill produce a full match review in a few days

I'll be here just on the edge of my seat.

You'll get a numb bum. ;)

Ill produce a full match review in a few days but we weren't great today, and we had numerous problems with the system

That's lovely.

On the other side, Barry and Nige were too far forward which left a massive gap which they exploited. Nasri didn't cover his wing at all and the yoyo action we saw against WB was gone. Zab was poor, out of position numerous times and diving into slide tackles which cost us several times.

With the gap between defence and midfield so high, the full backs weren't really comfortable going forward as much, and when Zab did he struggled to get back a lot and Kompany was going spare.

Until Yaya came on, we never really got a grip of the midfield at all and all of our goals came from very direct passing to the strikers and hoping for a bit of great linkn up play or magic on their own. With 15 mins to go, we were struggling at 2-1 and they looked nore likely to score.

Throughout the game we were far too direct, and we gave the ball back to them a lot. Harts kicking was particularly panicky and direct.

Our pressing that I loved versus West Brom was non existant, and we were far too deep, relying on long range efforts to getus out of trouble.

After the fourth goal, coming from another piece of individual play, Norwich collapsed entirely which fooled people into think that we'd played well where in reality we were second best on the day to every ball and in general. A hugely undeserved scoreline, we won because we have better players and not because we were better on the day

you did watch the game today
