Norwich 1-1 Post Match Thread

[Milo]

No complaints about the result - they were well worth a point

[Guest seanfox778]

Frustrating watch. Nothing was really clicking today. Better than Chelsea's result though 

[KingsX]

Liverpool were crap and won today.  We were crap and could only draw.

 

Ricardo, Ndidi, Vardy and Chilwell were our only men not below par today.  Including the manager.

 

Onward and upward.

[sishades]

Garbage, with Cheatski losing this was a great opportunity. The worrying thing is the number of times we were sliced open by a team second bottom. Gutted. My week at at work is going to be most unpleasant. 

[TeamRocket]

Poor game poor play felt like some of the players just didnt want to win or turn up for this game. Where was madderz today i get its his former team but if he wasnt up for it should have been on the bench

[knitro]

Disappointing, can only hope it lights some fire for the next few critical matches.

[foxes_rule1978]

Chelsea in free fall that helps 

[davelcfc100]

Really tough one to take. Kills the dream a bit. Thought Vardy was unlucky not to have a goal or two but other than that we were a bit poor all over today tbh. Can’t play brilliantly every week though I guess.

[KFS]

Young and inexperienced midfield cost us there.

 

Time to get rid of Gray and relegate Barnes to the bench.

[ARTY_FOX]

Really poor today. Maddison didnt turn up at all. His worst game for us by far may aswell have not played. Disinterested and that's disappointing, you'd think he'd have been up for it. Barnes as bad as he has ever been. So so so greedy recently. Just runs into trouble time and time again and shoots from stupid angles. 

 

Feels bad saying the above because we're been brilliant this season but it was just terrible. Roll on man city and correct the mistakes of today.

Just now, coolhandfox said:

Barnes and Gray dreadful......

 

Need to go into the market for a quality wide man! 

Barnes actually passed at the right time and linked up nicely with his fullback, which is more than you can say of Gray who was a black hole for possession all day.

[RowlattsFox]

Bad day at the office, everyone off their game. The title is a dream but see the positive that we are a point further ahead of Chelsea. Get this performance out of the way before the next two games where we will hopefully be better. 

 

Credit to Norwich, excellent today in both halves. Played some good stuff first half then defended well second.

[Tuna]

Didn't watch this ended up listening to Radio Leicester ().

 

Sounded like we just were not at the races today and Brendan massively messed up with the formation but at least changed it.

 

Heard lots of criticism of Barnes in the match thread. He's a terrific talent and just needs to bag a goal or two to give him the confidence.

 

Personally though I think we should be investing in at least one top quality winger in the transfer window.

[car1os]

Oh well. It’s a shame we didn’t win.

 

However it is still another point gained.  Points wise, we have 39 from only 17 games. We’re still on track for having a great season. Plus this will hopefully make sure that the players realise they cannot relax at any stage this season if we want that Champions League place come May.

 

plus, only 1 more point from safety... 

[jayfox26]

Title race finished, let's focus on champions league. All our main men were well off it today and we were lucky to get a draw in the end. Massive improvement needed or we will really struggle against Man C and Liverpool 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Exactly the same would have happened against Watford if they'd had any resembling competence in their team. Everton we got away with too so its been coming for a while. Norwich didn't even have to play particularly well to get the point

[Langston]

Too many off days in one hour and a half - Wilf was class, though. Chilwell decent enough, just wish he'd get a right peg.

Youri is a class act but he looks like he desperately needs a rest. Gray and Barnes didn't offer enough when either came on.

[Tom12345]

Poor tactic to begin with. Boosted Norwich’s confidence and added pressure on us. Difficult to change the game even with tactical change. 

[whoareyaaa]

tough game not what I was expecting, think we got the formation wrong from the start, I would have started the other way round and brought Nacho on later on in the game.

 

still we get a point and Chelsea. top four should be the target as per

[Nod.E]

Maybe now that we've dropped points people will bother to notice how poor Tielemans has been?

[Manwell Pablo]

They played well first half, hung on a bit in the second but hard to begrudge them it.

 

Maddison was non existent, Barnes is failing to deliver when attacking moves are reaching their end, Ricardo was uncharacteristicly wasteful but defended reasonably, Grey is back to being Grey (Pass the ball!) Soynchu was given one of the hardest afternoons of the season by Pukki and didn’t always come off best....

 

Oh well Chelsea lost and if the shit houses from north London can upset the apple cart tomorrow somehow it won’t have been a bad weekend.

[RowlattsFox]

Also we'd do worse then getting Pukki in as the alternative to vardy. Very similar players.

[don_danbury]

when did tielemans last have a good game? barnes & gray were awful 

[Guest Col city fan]

Poor performance poor result

I’m going to say it again, many don’t seem to like him but we look better with Perez in the team. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

What a BORING title race this will be now

 

well done to Norwich though fair play for frustrating us
