That was pathetic for 2-0.  11 men behind the ball.  Everyone switched off.

Dimi has been shocking , but Rupp is offering Fu*k all

I've said it before and I'll say it again - when we play a narrow side Vs one of the top sides, we lose cover in wide areas, typically where their best attacking players are. Not only that, but they'll have the quality to switch the ball quickly.

I just see it as being a bit naïve to set up that way against the top sides. I know it's a "free hit" but I would love to see us be prepared to stick the boot in a bit more and set up a little more defensively. 4-5-1, throw Sorenson into DM and tell the wide players to be more defensively responsible.

Sixty million spent and we look worse than two years ago. 

Midfield didn't work against Liverpool, and so he does it again. 

I'm going to say it, after three years of loving farke, I don't think he isn't good enough to manage at the top level.

Ten games of this and he has to go.

Comment from Jermaine Beckford on BBC:

Norwich are putting themselves in so many predicaments and it's their own problem and fault.  They're causing themselves so many issues trying to play it out from the back and City are just setting traps, they're closing them down really well. Norwich aren't really doing themselves any favours.

Rupp isn’t completely at fault for this, the whole defence should be ashamed

I fail to see what Rupp offers, I mean what is he? DM? AM? Good tackler? Good passer? Goalscorer? What exactly are his strengths?

I get that Man City is a great side, but jesus christ Norwich at least put up a bit of a fight. It gets embarrassing seeing this happen time and time again against a side that provides any sort of a challenge.

We always, always, play out, and the better teams simply shut it down and take the ball. 

Its naive, inflexible, and idiotic.

But it’s all absolutely fine - the clappers have said so. You just say “but it’s Man City” to replace “but it’s Liverpool” last week and keep pretending selling our most creative player and not replacing skipp or upgrading the defence hasn’t left us totally outclassed in this division…
