I think Hanley is about the only Norwich player who should come out of this with any credit. He suits a back 3 perfectly and plays that central role well. He's probably my player of the season so far. And I think the fact I'm saying that about a CB for a team conceding more than 2 goals a game on average rather highlights the issue.
It’s petty perhaps, because it wouldn’t have changed the result, but it is enormously frustrating not getting corners when we should have, fouls being ignored on our players when equivalent goes the other way. The big club advantage with refs is ridiculous, but there’s nothing to be done about it.
I’d agree he hasn’t been at his best today but also feel he has not been helped by his midfield partners. He’s often been left trying to cover 2-3 players with Chelsea’s CB’s bombing forward
Yes, McClean has had another shocker to be honest. I thought it would have been better to replace him with Sorensen than Lees-Melou off
Completely agree with this Sorensen needs to get a game, although next match I would bring Gilmour back in for McLean and hope that he can perform better with Normann behind him.
The ironic thing about Abramovic is he owns the Champions league winners but has to watch them on telly because he's too corrupt to be allowed into the country.
not that much when they arrived, Coufals has just been increased to £35k, but it's more relevant than his comparing European champions spending 97.
Honestly based on his performance today, I don't think we can consider Normann the DM solution, his positioning and tracking isn't good enough. The solution isn't McLean or Lees-Melou either...
Sure, but Wet Sham spend a fortune on players generally compared to our income and that’s still two players would make up most of the parachute payments. So all that shows us is that yes, Wet Sham have a bigger budget than us.
