Samwam27 519 Posted August 14, 2021 For all the hope, if Liverpool get another we're worse off than 2 years ago! And they've been cruising in about 3rd gear all game. Still, we always know Norwich never win 1st games of the season  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helsinki canary 240 Posted August 14, 2021 Defensively we look no stronger than last time in this league and with no strong defensive midfielder in the team we look decidedly second rate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,251 Posted August 14, 2021 Just now, chicken said: Watford beat a Villa side that failed to look dangerous going forward, Brentford beat an Arsenal side that will be in a relegation battle if they repeat that sort of performance. Brentford weren't amazing, they were solid, Arsenal were shocking. We are playing one of what is looking like three favs for the title, who have won the title and the Champions league and have a team glittering with internationals and trophy winners. SHOCK? No. You can discredit Watford and Brentford all you want, but the chances of us doing similar to Villa and Arsenal are slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted August 14, 2021 Unfortunately given our first four games we will probably be bottom of the table with a massive negative goal difference. It will then be a season long fight to catch up. I was really hoping we could keep Liverpool down to one or two goals but predicated a 3-0 defeat based on our tendency to collapse as the game goes on. We need that CDM and CB asap so that when the opening tough run of games is done we can hopefully start to get some points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ward 3 371 Posted August 14, 2021 Sargent looks alright since coming on. I dont understand when we have the ball and pass it to a defender they seem to want to run towards our own goal and pressurise ourselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to be harsh but if we're gonna make a go of it in this league we need to step up and stop giving such easy goals Have to say I agree with this and I hate zonal marking from corners. Liverpool have had a line of 3 just on the edge of the penalty box for every corner. It's been a case of something waiting to happen. So, yeah, if I can see it then it is naïve.

Ward 3 371 Posted August 14, 2021 We're playing a title contender and champions league contenders, 3 down at home. We've had a messed up pre season and already our own fans are wetting pants and have us to go down. Jesus. People say we don't change on the pitch. And majority of you don't change either. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any of those four sides, doing any better than us against Liverpool performing like this. Villa will get better as their new players start to gel. Arsenal will get better the moment they put on or both of Lacazette and Abamyang on the pitch - and add the players that Arteta is clearly making a point about. I'm not discrediting anyone - but no one predicted that poor a performance from Arsenal or Villa, well bellow their normal levels. Liverpool arrive at Carrow Road in the sort of form we hoped they wouldn't and people are spitting their dummies out because we didn't do a Watford or Brentford - please.

He is versatile and he's got a good brain. I think it's his physicality that is not quite PL tier. I always considered him an insurance policy kind of guy who can hold up the fort in number of midfield roles. Anyway, we need defensive reinforcement and focusing on areas that aren't strong as opposed to areas where we are really struggling is something we can't afford.
