What does this mean? Is it a pseudonym for "we were useless" It's just I have heard that a for a few weeks from Lambert and players regarding our performances? I'm not slating him or anything but what does it mean? I just think if you can't "get started" for a game with Liverpool then what can you get started for? Ignore me, I am bitter because I have a bet that NCFC would finish in the top half of the table and it was looking good until the players went on holiday.
that's two poor performances in a row, we can't really count the Man C game i can understand to a point why some of the performances aren't there, it's been a long season and our squad is pretty small compared to other teams. if we hadn't tinkered so much, we could have brought in some fresher players in recent games overall, it's been a great season
I´m with you max, we´re just beginning to run out of steam, not surprising after the amount of effort we´ve put in.
That was truly, truly awful! Came home wet and miserable like the weather. Defensively we are terrible and we have to look at the conceding for next season. Ward is not good enough and it is affecting young Bennett. Please stop tinkering Mr. Lambert of if you do let the players know what they have to do. I can understand why Morison gets stick but again defending him, he gets poor service. If you play 1 up front you have got to get the wingers to get the ball to the by line and cross. Elliot Benett was Ok but Pilkington went missing after about 20 mins. Fox gave the ball away as did Bradley Johnson, which we are doing too much for my liking. MoM for me was Kyle Naughton. We need him for next season. Why no Holt? Vaughan early doors looks keen but a bit "headless chicken" however it is early days for him. No shots in the first half and poor in front of goal 2nd. Putting non football issues with Suarez aside, I wish we had a finisher like that. We get in between the centre circle and the opposition box and look clueless about what to do ending up playing around until we lose the ball or if we get a chance to deliver, we delay or the quality of delivery is poor. Let's hope that the learning for this season includes getting some quality in. Young and hungry can only go so far and with some of those on the pitch today, I am not sure they can go much further.
I think that Norwich were plotters of their own downfall, didn't really like the idea of Morison up front on his own especially as he is experiencing some bad form of late. If Holt and Vaughan had been in the first 11 I think that it would have been a different result and E.Bennett and Pilkington would have put more crosses in the box because they would have had 2 strikers to aim for. Morison didn't move much during the game and didn't give the wide players more options. I didn't like the manner which all of Liverpool's goals were conceded but fair play to Liverpool and they are fully deserved their win. I hope that we defend better against Arsenal because I think that we will get heavily beaten if we don't. Pilkington and E.Bennett did ok during the match, should have made it more difficult for Liverpool to beat us though, still think that we can beat Aston Villa in the last home game. I am not sure why Morison was up front on his own, the passing was a bit sloppy at times and were generous in the goals which we gave away. I am happy with the way that Norwich has played this season and that the players should be happy with their efforts, but I hope that we can finish on a high and continue that momentum on to next season.
The fact of the matter is you cannot keep giving teams a headstart. There was a point yesterday where it was looking like another Man City scoreline was on the cards. Liverpool sat tight, soaked up our attacks and then broke at us with frightening pace. After our little 10 minute spell after half time, Liverpool could have scored a hatful. Shelvey missed two sitters, Downing pulled a good save out of Ruddy and Suarez dinked one over when it was a simpler to tap it into the bottom corner! Our defensive frailties are our downfall. Most teams at this level are too well organised to break down when they go a goal up. Itis testament to how well we must have played this season to have secured so many points from losing positions. Can we keep that up next year? For the first time in three years we look like we have run out of a bit of momentum!
