Always trust your gut feeling. Mine was right about this team all along. Night all.

Dreadful defensive performance. We look better with Latibeudiere in the team. Unfortunately our better form players play in the same position - Esse and Sakamoto. I think we need the former in the 10 and Sakamoto on the right.

Shape was all wrong from the start for an away game.
Wide open through the middle.
We must play far more compact shape through the middle away from home.
Far too easy to play against even for a crap team like Norwich

They were poor we were poorer
So many players off th boil

mve did ok
Saka
Eccles
Wright
Esse

emc
Torp
Grimes
Kitching

all very poor from the start

Should have been 1-1 but for terrible bit of play by kitch and they did it 3-4 times too

could have prime ramos and pepe at the back, when balls get through midfield with ease every single time, one or two will go in. Grimes is just not doing what he is there to do at the moment, and the ones next to him are not helping it neither.

As soon as the commentator said that Norwich had lost all seven games they'd gone behind at home you just knew what was coming

Utter shite performance, only person to come out with any credit was MVE. At some point Lampard has to realise just playing 4 attackers away from home isn’t tactically good enough!

Norwich were nothing special whatsoever by the way. Unlike a lot of games where teams have taken it up a level, these were right there for the taking.

Lampard takes a ridiculous gamble and selects a wafer thin midfield. What on Earth was he thinking with that? What have we spent a week doing to prepare?

I did say when i saw the team its stupid. We were lucky to go in 1 nil at half time.

Awful to play Asante over Eccles. Even commentators can see that.

We been awfull for weeks.

Our defense is shocking...its because of the formation. Way too open. Grimes needs help.

Stupidity.
Click to expand...
Said the same. The lead should not have covered up the poor first half performance. Lampard didn’t recognise it.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never been one to be over critical, but I haven’t thought Kitching and Thomas were at the level required for 2 seasons now.

yes, they have some amazing games but fuck me do they have some absolute clangers. Both at fault for both goals there in a game we could’ve scraped a 1-0.

Norwich deserved their win and were the better team.

That being said we were close to scoring a couple more goals ourselves.

I do not enjoy the way the team is set up for away games at tricky opponents, I think it’s mad. But if it gets us points at QPR I can’t really complain.

Really struggling to enjoy the games now because they all seem so important for our future!

Need to change the formation, grind out results. It is not working. 5 at the back. We have not played well since November. Frank too late making changes, again.

I don't think we should go mental but if we fuck this up how long until we get another chance?

The loanees all go back, the better players get picked off by clubs that finish lower than us but will pay them more and we're looking at a rebuild with Vin & Gus type money.

I said the other week I can see a very real possibility of us fucking this up. Not saying they will but its not that hard to see them dropping to second while people keep saying the title doesn't matter as long as we go up and then slipping into the play offs the last couple of weeks of the season. If that happens I don't see a trip to Wembley let alone winning.

But he’s as soft as shit! We need someone who’s actually got a bit of strength in the middle of the pitch! Torp gets muscled off the ball far to much which then leave us open! Then all the opposition have got to deal with is the chuckle brothers in centre defence

Dosnt change the fact that if you don’t play him our midfield has all the invention of a Temu supplier.

Not sure that’s right
We are completely over run with grimes being the only midfielder
Emc and Esse were so poor at tracking back saka much better
1-1 we go on and win

You could put Christiano Ronaldo on corners, its the pathetic cunts hes aiming at are the problem. Its the long throws we need to give up on. Theyre pathetic, havent work for months. We're more likely to concede from a counter from them than we are to score! They need fucking off.

Fucking miserable night all around. Totally wrong gameplan from the start, the majority of our players look perpetually bewildered and knackered, soft as shite defending cost us yet again. Can't think of one positive from that, so best to draw a line under it and start prep for Saturday.

Gutless performance. Second best all over the pitch. Both centre half’s were abysmal. Dasilva has a simple clearance with his right foot but shanks it into his own goal with his left. No midfield again. Torp look knackered after 10 minutes. Grimes having to do 3 men’s work until Eccles came on.

Norwich must surely be our official bogey team. 0 wins in 16. At least we’ve actually beaten PNE a few times at home.

Miserable away day.
