That handball wasn't deliberate but we've seen plenty of penalties awarded for non-deliberate handballs.
Think some of the blame has to be shared by the players and management. When, in the last minute, Silva has the ball and is ahead of the Norwich midfield, he does his pirouette and allows them all back into position; we lose our advantage and we lose any cutting edge. The players have been conditioned to keep possession so as to wear the opposition down, but they've been conditioned to to such an extent that they've worn out their natural verve, and no player seems capable of acting on impulse and breaking free from the pattern.

Both you guys are actually spot on, I made a comment about it on the match thread, Bony is a limited player but sending him out like that is unbelievably unfair to him. It actually makes the signing of Bony even more perplexing.
Let's call a spade a spade for a moment. Navas is in no shape or form good enough. Bony speaks for himself. Otamendi far to rash, sagna decent defender but kills us when we are attacking. Fernando average player, Clichy plenty of effort , no end product. That's six of the starting 11 who will never play in a champions league winning side. Throw in a totally inept manager and a visually challenged scouting system and its not hard to see why we are going nowhere fast. Khaldoum needs to get his ass in gear fast and sort this fkn mess out before the damage becomes irreparable. Let's be honest here. Whether we as fans like it or not, without champions league football our targets will not be coming pep or not.
Sat in a wetherspoons in Norwich pissed off after that displayAfter watching that turgid inept display im fookin angry not felt this way since well er the last debacle at Anfield Title gone? top four tossed off as well So sad that the team i love were so lacking in motivation and ideas
