Norwich post match thread

[Kronenburg1892]

well Kenny may have got some things wrong today, but did we not just miss about 10 good chances? at least we're creating chances. there were times under Rafa we were ****ing dire. fulham at home springs to mind instantly.

I know you didn't like his style of setting up teams, but with the resources we had, we did pretty ****ing damb good. Although there was his persistence in subbing anyone on for a hatrick which pissed me off, you have to admit, we always had the stamina on the park to last the 90. I'm not seeing that now.

Adam needs to get on a tread mill chasing a deep fried mars bar for a start.

We should be lining up,

-----------------Pepe-----------------

Johnson---Carra-------Agger-----Enrique

---------Adam-----------Lucas----------

----Suarez------Gerrard------Bellamy-----

------------------Kuyt-----------------

4-4-2 is just spasticted.

Why drop Skrtel? He was the far superior CB today. All Norwich's best moments involved Carragher today. Even for the goal he was beaten to the ball first before Reina got there.

[Zapater]

I don't agree. I think a top four place this season is more or less a must or we will be left a mountain to climb.

A third season in a row without CL football would be a disaster. If we want to sign the best players and compete for the title then CL football is a must.

How many games since he arrived have we really played great football both in attack and defence? Not that many.

The problem as I see it is that he make the same mistakes again and again. You can't afford to be stubborn. You must adapt.

We're 9 games in, CL is hardly out of our grasp. That 4th spot is attainable, look at how we almost grabbed 5th last season after that horrific start. Once we put a run together, which we inevitably will do at some stage these fears will evaporate.

If we're considering replacing our manager when they haven't been doing poorly, then clearly you want us to become another Newcastle, and we've seen how that pans out. Liverpool always give their managers time, Hodgson was a freak occurrence because they hired an a completely incapable, idiotic, stupid, arrogant, ****-wit to do the job. Anyhow it's not like there's a huge range of top quality managers available who would step into the job immediately.

Kenny is going nowhere, talk of that is well premature at this stage. he has made mistakes like any other manager and hopefully will learn, he is not the messiah, things weren't miraculously gonna change.

But we have a long way to go, we really do.

He's a very naughty boy...!

Or not get there!

[SimonNo7]

what the deal with the majority of our players mentality? 'i dont have the ball so i'm just gonna stand still' A lot of our players need to watch a barcelona game

I thought we'd got that out of our system with Kenny. That's how we played in the last 18 months of Rafa's tenure and most definitely under the Bodge.

Post match threads just don't feel the same without Chris calling us cunts.

[BootRoom]

Yeah well. The point still stands though, either way Holt was heading into an empty net because Reina came out to intecept the ball, or Holt was having a free powerful header at Reina still on his line.

I'm not going to rewrite history and say everything Rafa did was ****. It would be a lie. But i've enjoyed the last 10 months more than any for quite some time.

early days yet

[SimonNo7]

Mexican = no prem league experience, language, new country, new teammates, etc. Wasn't anything racist you stupid gora.

Suarez's goal ratio is about on par with Milan Baros. His saving grace is he is magical with the ball and makes things happen for others. That's what I think of him.

Wasn't suggesting anything like that, I just didn't see any need to mention where they are from and like I said they are different types of strikers, Hernandez is a poacher, Carroll isn't.

[kubrickscube]

I miss Torres. Sorry. But I do. An out and out striker who will finish even when having a quiet game.
I love Luis but he needs a Rush to his Beardsley. For the majority of the 2nd half he had to do it entirely on his own.
It would be great if carroll materialises into the world beating beast he may be capable of becoming but we need a quality alternative come Jan.

[Maxiedge]

It's a mentality problem for me. We need to instill the old air of confidence we had back in the 80s and part of Rafa's reign.

We played a match midweek where you got the feeling the players weren't bothered whether they won or not but this is the wrong approach IMO. You have to play to win and give 100percent in every match even if it's a friendly. Then you can take this into the next game.

They say you're only as good as your best player and, as good as Steven Gerrard is, maybe he's not motivating his teammates enough in these types of games as opposed to, let's say, the derbies or man u.
