Article: Swansea City vs Norwich City Match Preview & Thread|Football, Swansea City, Norwich City

Superb performance from Norwich, fair play. Some Canaries I thought were being overly optimistic but they showed me. At times we were out-Swansea'd and you thoroughly deserved the win. But have to say this was the worst home performance in a long long time. We gave the ball away for fun and that often had little to do with Norwich. We were awful, but that should take nothing away from Norwich who were very very good.

Well done.

 

I'd imagine our game will be about 5th on. Have to talk about a handshake that didnt happen, then Harry because he maybe England manager, Henry scored a goal, QPR have lots of money but lost. Then we may get a couple of minutes.

 

I ****ing love Grant Holt, not only did he score two goals, but when he noticed the game was getting a bit boring, he went out of his way to deliberately concede a penalty to liven the game up. What a legend.

 

Haha quality! Holt was outstanding today!

 

Gary Lineker "Well, norwich showed us again that they are not here for the ride"

Alan Shearer "They were very good today, but swansea will be fine though cos i watched them a couple of times last season"

Gary Lineker "Manish is on after with action from the football league, and heres what theyve got"

Not a scriptwriter by any chance are you?

 

Any one could be a script writer for the dross they say on that show

 

Lineker: "Norwich were Good weren't they?"
Shearer "Yep"
Hanson "Yep"
Lawrenson"......Yeah"
Linekar: "Seeya Next week folks!"

 

Surely not that generous!!??

 

I would like to congratulate everyone at the club for what I thought was possibly our best performance of the season, certainly away from home. To totally dominate Swansea at home, they had only lost to Manure, was real entertainment and excitement.
I thought the whole team played with such assuredness and composure after conceding against the run of play and the second half we took the chances we didn't in the first.

 

And only had conceded 7 goals at home all season and only maximum of one in a game, to notch 3 within the most explosive norwich 20 minute performance i think i can recall is just incredible.

As for MOTD in all seriousness i expect 3rd or 4th which actually usually comes with minimal analysis!

 

We beat Arsenal 3-2 at home, guys.

 

I posted at half time that Josh wasn't cutting it - a call by Buck that totally back-fired. I also posted before the game that we had to match Norwich's energy and commitment. Josh isn't that sort of player and we were overrun in midfield because of it. As a result, I think that Norwich dominated midfield and we never got going.

Take nothing from the Canaries, they deserved the win and our late rally was never enough. Had we shown the same urgency earlier things might have been different but we were second best and deservedly so to a very good team. Well done, Norwich. As for Buck he'd better use the two week break to start upping the fitness levels. I've never been happy with them and typed so until my fingers bled. Add that to what we've got and we'll be fine. Neglect it and we'll start having a run of games like this one. We need a work ethic to go with our football and the sooner Buck realises it, the better.

 

Swans fans on this thread take a bow. Absolutely fantastic to read your response after the game, giving us so much credit and taking defeat in the very best of manners. Awesome, an absolute credit to your football club and all the very best of luck for the rest of the season, the Premiership is definitely a much better place with you guys in it

 

have another one Sid, very well played, wish Holt had gone to Rangers

 

I have to say the win today is the highlight of the season for me and that is largely down to how good Swansea have been. It has been a joy to watch Swansea this year, I genuinely thought we would struggle to win at the Liberty today, only Man United had managed it before 3pm today. And with the greatest respect, we out passed the team that have been likened to Barca. Very proud of NCFC.

I think both Norwich and Swansea will stay up. Both sets of fans can be hugely proud of their teams this season.

Swansea fans must not feel too down. You can't always be top of your game. We were hopeless against Sunderland, my initial feelings were "oh no has the bubble burst" but it was just one game and we bounced back and I'm sure you will too!

 

If anyone else had said it I would tend to agree with you about being critical Maestro , but not with ivor . You pretty well get a dose of truth with him , like it or not .... Cheers
