It's no different to a lot of our perfomances over the last few months. We thought BTA coming back would sort everything, but it just makes us even lighter in midfield.

We have the "normal" Asante back. Not the one that massively overperformed.

BTA off Esse in the 10 and saka down the right Clark needs to start getting back to help.out Da Silva.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Been horrendous on the ball though!!

Immediately after his goal he could have got one of the best assists of the season. Agreed he wasn't great before then but he's got that bit of extra class that makes the difference in games.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Seeing it back at half time, what makes it worse is it looks BTA had a couple of goes at it. He's in a world of trouble.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Given some of the assaults on Saka that have gone unpunished it would be a joke

Not really, its a swing of an elbow into the face.

 

[shepardo01]

Sky shocked by Asantes elbow. Red all day long. Very lucky.

 

[nicksar]

What a signing Esse has been. Think we can pick these off second half, not sure i enjoy the stat about THAT game being the last time they came from behind to win though.

Brilliant strike from a very difficult angle...top signing.

[Jamesimus]

Game is so open it’s terrifying. We have had a little more quality where it matters, but basically we have 3 defenders most of the time and one of them is Matt Grimes.

 

[Major Tom]

That BTA arm looks bad on the sky replay.. don’t think their player played it either to make it worse

 

[fernandopartridge]

BTA off Esse in the 10 and saka down the right Clark needs to start getting back to help.out Da Silva.

You'd bring Eccles into midfield not Esse who is on a yellow and hardly a grafter

 

[Briles]

Retrospective ban for BTA i think

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Nothing going down the right anymore last few games. Can't understand why.

 

[jordan210]

The goal came from that side

scored by the player on the right who came across.

EMC and JDS are not offering much. JDS keeps
Cutting back and Emc doesn’t look up
For it

 

[SBAndy]

Genuinely don’t understand how we’ve gone from the fast flowing attacking side we saw at the start of the season to this where we can’t move the ball with any urgency at all

The depth of our play is why. So often we end up with 5-6 players stood in a line up top.

 

[Lamps]

Mve is having a good game today although its all defensive work

We have enough up front to keep him back.

 

[shepardo01]

Immediately after his goal he could have got one of the best assists of the season.

Put in a very very poor ball.

 

[jordan210]

Guys do we think BTA will get a retrospective ban ? As no one has mentioned it

 

[Evo1883]

Norwich are a good side that have underachied this season. Great game so far and we've had more good opportunities. Esse is again showing his class. That pass for Wright was perfect and what a shot for the goal.

Can see them tiring towards the end.

They are in good form , it was never an easy game tonight , if the league started today with clement as manager theyd finish top half

 

[covcity4life]

Our left is not offering anything

Goal came from the left

 

[TomRad85]

We have the "normal" Asante back. Not the one that massively overperformed.

Hes been ok. Still too good for West Brom.

 

[mrfr]

Does anyone have a view as to whether BTA will face a ban?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Does anyone have a view as to whether BTA will face a ban?

Pretty important part of the half to be fair.

 

[jto123]

Hoping Lampard isn’t blinded by the lead and sorts it out at half time

 

[TomRad85]

They are in good form , it was never an easy game tonight , if the league started today with clement as manager theyd finish top half

Agree mate. Some hysterical girls blouses in here even when winning.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can't do what? The ref will be watching it at half time so it will of course play on his mind.

Nah

 

[Jamesimus]

Does anyone have a view as to whether BTA will face a ban?

No.

 

[Evo1883]

Does anyone have a view as to whether BTA will face a ban?

Im 50% sure he will

 

[eyesee]

is phil lynott playing up front for them??

 

[robbiethemole]

He probably deserves to.

Sky wanking off over it. Clinton Morrison putting the knife in absolute toss bag

 

[Nuskyblue]

Genuinely don’t understand how we’ve gone from the fast flowing attacking side we saw at the start of the season to this where we can’t move the ball with any urgency at all

Pressure I think. We look hesitant all over the pitch

 

[shepardo01]

Does anyone have a view as to whether BTA will face a ban?

I'd say that as Sky have comprehensively covered it at HT, he will.

 

[mrfr]

Pretty important part of the half to be fair.

Oh, do be fair. That’s very important.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sky wanking off over it. Clinton Morrison putting the knife in absolute toss bag

Do you think they are wrong in the judgment it was a red?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Definitely bring Eccles on for BTA before the hour. Add a bit more defensive shape into the midfield and also take out that fear the ref might look to 'atone' for his error missing the elbow(s).

Would Yang offer better cover on the left than EMC is doing too?
