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
lol.
I can't wait for his in-depth analysis that he's promised us over the next couple of days.
It'll be a reet riveting read.....

Re: Chris Foy
Should still be in it's own topic tbh. Had a fucking criminal start until the inevitability set in. The first 15/20 minutes were bloody awful.
Edit: Why is everyone jumping on Damocles? I know the score counts in the end but it's been failure to recognise problems when we're winning that has lead to so many problems getting out of the rut when we're not winning. Today was NOT a masterclass in football. It was some great moments by incredibly talented players and two of the worst centre backs we've probably come up against all season. We didn't run the game like we have done in other lower scoring games, but people see the final score and assume we must have been godlike for 90 minutes. We weren't. Norwich got themselves into all sorts of good positions we shouldn't have allowed and we would have been punished by better teams. We're still not as comfortable in possession as we were at the start of the season, even though that does seem to have improved about a billion percent since Arsenal. I really don't get this fear of highlighting failings after wins. Like criticising a player even though he scored in a game, it's like heresy.
I will say though that once again we've got general control of a game from a decent long range strike, not trying to play eye of the needle balls through compact drilled defences. Glad we've added this into our game a bit more because sometimes it's just what you need.
