The Old Robert Green

[Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0]

A real positive from last nite was the appearance of a new rejuvinated Robert Green!!  he bowled the ball out starting passing play, made some great saves and commanded his box.  He played a great part in hucks goal and generally looked like he wanted to be playing for us again!!

Cool, Well done Greeno! I think this win has helped the team grow in confidence!

It''s probably because there were a lot of growns from the River End when he started by just doing the usual long punt up the field. Maybe it annoyed him and he wanted to stop us moaning old gits :P

Greeno was fantastic last night. Caught everything, made some brilliant stops and really did look like the ''Old'' Robert Green.

I have a feeling that becuase he''s now here until at least the end of the season, the only chance he has of getting into the world cup squad is to play really, really well in this league. If it helps is in the long run - then brilliant!

I suspect he realises he''s here for longer than just this season - has got his head straight and is knuclinkg down again.

Quite agree though - it was a good performance, especially as his creative "passing" was better than at least one member of our so-called midfield last night too!

I don`t see anything brilliant  about a player who turns it on when it suits him !!  frankly , we`ve had enough of those kind of players  ... 

you might think thats  a bit  crass , but just think about it  , Greeno  has gone right through the prem season  , letting in a record number of goals ,  and played crap in this season   until recently  , now your saying that HE has decided to get his finger out   and actually do what he`s payed to do  , just in case  he gets a ticket to Germany !      in other words  ,  we could still be in the prem   if  he`d  played as he has done recently ....  strength give me  !!

im not normally impressed with him, but he did do very well. more of that will make the back 5 alot more confident.

yeah well sheded as I have said many times before, if this manager cannot get the players playing to the best of their abilities and keeping them motivated, maybe we should hire one who can....

I didnt here much backing of the manager from Hucks in his interview last night.  Just how he was surprised that even at 3 nil up many fans were still calling for his head....

Sometimes  this , much bandied word , motivation , as applied to  highly paid  , adult [ almost ]  professionals [ I know I`m going wrong  here somewhere , but press on ! ]       really baffles me  ... if   getting  thousands of pounds a week   for a few hours  a week of kicking a ball about   isn`t enough to motivate them  , you have to wonder what will ?

I understand where you are coming from Sheded, however in reality some players need motivating (whether they should or not is another matter) hence why managers like Martin O''Neil do so well.

He''s probably realised that unless he starts playing well, no prem team is going to take a big money gamble. An on form Rob Green can only be good for Norwich, even if it only means extra transfer money at the end of the season!!
