No, we bought early so as to avoid having to let the side gel during the season. What was preseason for? It looks like it was completely useless. At least last week we could appeal to the "freak" first day results to justify the side's performance. After today we just have to admit they're not very good at the moment. I think Norwich look like relegation fodder, which puts that performance into perspective.
just because we bought early isnt a guarantee that a team will gel before the start of the season..Pre-season is more to build up competitive fitness imo,and as MH is still looking to buy and tinker says to me that we havent gelled.And I agree,I think norwich will struggle big time.
Cheer up everyone! We always play sh*t against norwich, we usually have a player sent off and lose too. Didn't happen today, so thats an improvement. By the way we haven't won away since last November, so getting anything at Carrow road is worth celebrating. Even better if the canaries are pissed off they didn't win!
Indeed! Also, I happen to think that our lot will play better against better opposition!! (Donning tin hat and assuming crouched position!!)
FFS what is it with some people on here, give them time & i'm sure will see a different team next week, talk about support for team there is none on here apart from a few, chill out & we got a point.
If any team gets stuffed 5-0 and at home do you think they will be brimming with confidence? of course not,so a point is a good point..onwards and upwards
A point is positive because we didn't deserve a point, and because Norwich had countless chances to win during the second half. A preseason looked to be enough for Swansea's players to gel based on their last two performances. Hell, even Norwich's centre backs looked better than ours- and they joined on wednesday! I don't buy the whole "don't complain about performances because you've got to support your team". Of course i'll support them, and i'm confident we'll get back on track. But we've been far below the levels we expected against Swansea/Norwich so far, and are justified in being pissed off. We'll never improve if we shy away from critically assessing our poor performances by hiding behind a happy-clappy "lets just be positive" attitude.
Its not losing that hurts(ok maybe a bit) its the attitude shown by some of the players!. Even if you are playing badly,you ****ing well make sure your chase everything down and earn your 70 grand a week!...Cisse at times looked like he didnt give a ****. If that continues,I think Zamora/Johnson could be worth trying(they played together at Fulham) and at least Johnson works hard. Do some of the players not get on?. Just dont seem that close to MH?.I dunno.
Cisse looked really good in the pre-season games I saw I know the opposition were not premiership standard but his head was not there today
You forgot to mention that Zamora was in the box when the penalty shot was taken (plus a few of your guys - so maybe Clattenburg just cancelled that out).
