Norwich post match thread

[casablancas]

This is genuinely the best I have felt in months. Thank Fcuk for that. They never troubled us. Needed that win more than the half time 🍆💦 haha, jokes ofc. But that was a performance and half … kept hearing how Norwich didn’t utilise their forwards, but I was thinking that’s more down to our greatness today.

I turned it off after KDH interview. What happened?

Get in, lads!

Well played supporters at the game … the obvious dissatisfaction with the CB - CDM - CB passing and huge cheers when a ball was pinged to Fats had a huge bearing on how we played.

 

For me, the increased intensity, better press, more effort, more attacking intent seemed a direct result of the fans.

 

Happy days!

Yeah, that's true. Doyle is a funny one, supports the attack play well and was effective pushed right up, but his defending is ropey at times.

Agree re. his defending. A few have said how well he did today. I was wanting him to come off. AWOL at the back a few times. Going forward, some of his crosses into the box were hit and hope. One occasion Mavididi not wanting to give him the ball. I think he feared the attack would break down. He doesn’t look like pending Manchester City quality.

[Clarkey123]

All about those diagonals 😉

[OntarioFox]

So confession time... thought it was a 3pm kickoff and completely missed the first half (they were coming out the tunnel when I got in the car). Not my finest hour. 

 

What's the big fuss? Routine 2-0 win, that.

To be fair, though, Justin has been very poor defensively in recent appearances.

Deserved win. Shut out Norwich for 99% of the game and had a lot of control and dominance. Would have liked to get the goals earlier but nonetheless getting 3 and the points at home is great. 

 

Fatawu was brilliant when he eventually was given the ball. Mavididi effective too. 

 

Delighted for Vardy to get his goal too. Made more of an impact in those few moments than Daka did whole game. 

 

Enzo with some good subs too. Although was worried when he chose Hamza

 

[RowlattsFox]

We saw the use of Ndidi in the channel - something we've seen all season, especially when the team has played well 

 

We saw switches to the wingers after after narrowing the centre - something we've seen all season when we've played well 

 

But yeah it was so anti Enzo ball  

 

We executed a lot better, and I think Norwich set up allowed us to a certain extent but people see the result and assume we've abandoned Enzo ball completely, just because we won. But for me it was a lot of the same ideas, but players played better. Especially KDH as he is the one who can change a slow move into a forward attack when he receives the ball.

You must have been watching a different game to me  

Quite a lot of us clearly were, the crowd kept baying for him to get the ball as he had the full back on toast.

[ALC Fox]

Massive win and dominant performance against a decent side.

 

Intensity was there and we finally took some chances.

 

I thought Doyle made a massive difference. Gave Fatawu loads of time and space to attack following the switch and linked up well with Mavididi and KDH too.

 

Mavididi's goal was 🔥

[Lad1966]

I feel happy - not had this feeling for a while. Thank you.  COYB

[iancognito]

That's what happens when you bury your chances.

 

Must use this as a springboard now, push on and finish with as many wins as possible 💪🏻

Well that result has pulled us out of the recent misery.

We needed that.

 

An  "oh shit we'd better do better" realisation must have hit the team and manager.

Literally just cut to the studio and then straight to an ad break when it was mid-way through his interview. Patrick Davison was halfway through asking him a question

Interviewer asked if ditching 'Enzoball' made the difference today? Enzo replied, 'Oh feck off. You're sounding like our fans now'. 

They then cut the interview.

What!!! Fatawu? Which game are you referring to?

Taggart gave him MOTM

Everything good now yeah?  We all back on the optimistic bus?

Play with the same format of less EnzoBall control as a trade off for more forward intent like we did today, say for the next two games and I'll put my arm out at the next stop.

 

Without putting a damper on today's much much better and far more entertaining performance...'One swallow doesn't make a summer' and if adopting an Anti-Enzoball approach for the next few matches is what we are served up then I'll beva happy bunny and we stick a far better chance of promotion again.

[HybridFox]

Feels a bit like that game Dean Smith won last season when Castagne scored. Very pleased but there's still work to be done.

 

7 cup finals we've got this 

[Shamomoa]

Come on Hull and Southampton!!!!!

[Nick]

Who knew if we took our chances and played with a bit more intensity we could win games?

 

I quite fancy Hull to do a job on Leeds later as they really should be moving in on the playoff places.

Yea I'd probably agree, (Fatawu). I thought Faes was very good today as well

Haha 😛 look I never felt enzo should get sacked, but I was wondering how he manages a bad situation; he has players that haven’t got confidence and lacking that hunger, can he turn it around. Today was a perfect response
