Five Live "to easy for West Ham"

[Jim Smith 1,699]

What the f**k is Aarons doing there. Runs away from his man, plays their striker onside and makes no effort to stop the cross. More schoolboy defending.

It's ten so far tonight so way to go.

P1ss poor

****.

Decent performance at times but haven't really troubled West Ham.

Horrendously weak squad.

What the VAR giveth in the 1st half, in the 2nd the VAR will taketh away.

Presumably there is a good explanation for taking off our only player that looked like he had a goal in him when we are one down.

Aarons is simply not influencial enough in this team to keep hold of his value

[Coneys Knee 730]

Tonight tells you the real Norwich City story. There was no shortage of effort, something we’ve complained of recently, but we were never really in this contest due to a total lack of quality right the way through the team. We’re just not good enough and it is that simple.

[Jim Smith 1,699]

It’s been a little better tonight but let’s be honest we are feeding off scraps. West Ham not been very good but gifted two easy goals. Ultimately the negligent recruitment shown up again. 
 

Terrible subs by Smith

Not difficult if youre watching, he looked shot and was feeling his groin area a couple times too. Hopefully precautionary.

[Capt. Pants 2,570]

The subs have killed us. Dowell and Tzolis are chronic.

Saving him for the next defeat on Saturday.

[Kenny Foggo 894]

Zero quality. Webber just go...

Yes, saving him for the Championship tilt next season.

Idah shown some flashes tonight.

Is he up there with Dion?

He looked surprised to see his number. Away fans watching it made their feelings known too.

Rowe looks better than Tzolis. I see literally nothing in him.

Without wanting to mock the bloke he almost permanently has a surprised expression on his face so I wouldn't read much into that.

[corbs 147]

Must be quite hard being a journo, Michael Bailey, having to cover this deja vu.

[Coneys Knee 730]

In fairness , today is probably the best I’ve seen Idah. He just needs to add some tempo and aggression to his game over the whole game rather than fits and starts.

Well Happy clappers was"nt that a great game of football, we had a shot on goal, 2 passes in midfield, Hanley headed the ball, the fans should be very proud of the team tonight , they put in a shift in tonight 2, what more can you happy cappers want, apart from a goal

We’re going to be the lowest scoring PL team of all time aren’t we. This is an astonishing level of incompetence on Webber’s watch

I have refrained from commenting so far but the second goal just shows where we are at. The weakest midfield four we have ever put out. Couldn't physically make a dent in a plate of cold soup. Having to hit long balls into the channel because its a waste of time hoping for anything from the midfield.

And to cap it all, our coaching staff make the brain dead decision to take off the only player looking EPL standard in our team.

There will be games where we don't get stuffed for various reasons but it can't hide that we are getting worse with each game.

And of course its the fans fault for demoralising the players.

Mart Poom and Claus Lundekvam would have something to say about that.

[Capt. Pants 2,570]

The money we've spunked on Tzolis is reckless. Perhaps he is one for the future but a very poor call from Webber.

[City 101 65]

Don’t think we have one player in the squad that has the quality to play at this level .
