Gunn is **** 😂😂

There is a reason he's the only top flight keeper to have shipped 9 goals twice

That entire move...Arsenal quicker and more determined with each pass...we looked like statues

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

Kabak has just been a liability all season. 

[NeymarSmith 133]

Yep. Sorry to all you guys, I jinxed it...

[TheGunnShow 6,104]

Yeah. Not our best start, that one.

[Nuff Said 5,254]

McGovern would have saved that 😉

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,157]

Huh, weird. Weak as p155 defending is not normally something you would associate with a Norwich side. I'm shocked, we never stand off and gift the opposition goals like that....

[City 2nd 191]

Big win coming for Arsenal now…….1 0 after 5+ not good

We're not physically cut out for this league I've been saying it for 2 years now. It's why every other team plays the game twice as fast as we do

Might has well kept Daniel Farke-  could not be any worse- City really look like its curtains in the prem= well least we can look forward to some goals scored by us I mean in the champs

Arsenal are simply being playing all around us. Only Williams looks like he wants to put up a fight here.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,423]

We were down weeks ago. No goals, sloppy in defence, lack of required skill at this level - I feel we couldn’t take a kicking today and then the mini bounce will be over and it will be a long winter

We've certainly been better defensively since Smith took over, but we still can't score which is unfortunately a rather important part of football matches. I'm not convinced the end result will be any different to if Farke had stayed, but the board obviously felt Farke had reached his ceiling and tactically that looked to be true

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

15 minutes worth of stats...has a club ever given refunds to home fans for performances?

[corbs 147]

Shafted by the premiership! We were training with 16 players 

[Cantiaci Canary 581]

We'll never properly compete until we're shopping in the market for £20M+ players rather than £10M.

We are a Championship side in the richest league on the planet.

'Self funding' is endearing but you don't stand a chance if you shoot yourself in both feet before the season starts.

Best sabotage the floodlights

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

Was Gunn at fault for the goal? Didn’t look like it from here?

Embarrassing performance so far.

Nope, only one Krull is a confirmed Covid issue, the rest are injured according to Radio, so would have been pretty much this squad.

You have a short memory!

[All the Germans 1,085]

We are sh*t. Everytime they get the ball at the back we sh*t ourselves, sit back and let them pick passes without pressing them, everytime we have it, they press us and we lose it. Arsenal don't like it up 'em, lets have a go.

[Helsinki canary 244]

Another turgid and lethargic performance  

[king canary 7,705]

Have largely supported Smith and his decision making but a Mclean/Gilmour central midfield is asking for trouble.

No, he wasn't. Kabak and Aarons were at fault for telegraphed pass / standing on heels. Still had a lot to do from there though and generally, we were just poor in defending.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

We never seem to have the ball under control at any point. Loose touches, stray passes. It seems so different to a cool, controlled oppostion who we give so much time and respect to.

[TheGunnShow 6,104]

I'm not saying anything at the moment in case I jinx stuff.

They would crucify us if we press high.   See Leeds 1 Arsenal 4!   With this team our only chance is to defend and defend and hope it’s 0-1 with 5mins to go. 

[TheGunnShow 6,104]

Well, at least we're not Leicester.

What do you mean? If you point out how bad we are we might start playing well!

[vlad666 205]

These players just aren’t good enough. Doesn’t matter who the manager is. Physically we’re an embarrassment.
