Mistakes happen; Dimi has made quite a few this season as well. OTBC Dimi is a decent left-back who will still be here if he's kept happy and has been one of our best performers in the last few games. Williams will be back at Man Utd next season, or more likely loaned out somewhere else that isn't here. Dropping one for the other was ****ing dumb as ****. The slip was probably the footballing gods punishing such an inept decision. Edited April 30, 2022 by canarydan23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beetley Yellow 57 Posted April 30, 2022 We’re just so easy to play against. Whenever Villa have pressed us in our third, inevitably we eventually meekly give possession back to them. We don’t seem to have any movement to be able to play through it. Whereas they play one long ball whilst we have them pushed back and 2-3 passes later they’ve scored. Admittedly a slip and deflection helped this happen, but at no point do we look like opening them up in a similar fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,920 Posted April 30, 2022 I'm afraid it's very simple. With Emi or a player of his ability we may just survive. Without a player like that we won't. On the plus side we will probably go straight back up again. And then go straight back down again. In my view that's a Premier League problem not a Norwich City problem 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,137 Posted April 30, 2022 Would be nice to see the ref give us a bit more. Villa seem to be getting away with repeated fouls - Mings climbing all over one of our players somehow becomes him being fouled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a fan of declaring the team world beaters pushing for top six after we play well and equally declaring them league 2 after a defeat like most. However, I am not sure promotion next season is probable? For me, the key reasons that we got promoted were Buendia's creativity - gone, Skipps defensive midfield play - gone and Pukki's clever runs.

Without a player like that we won't. On the plus side we will probably go straight back up again. And then go straight back down again. In my view that's a Premier League problem not a Norwich City problem I think it's a challenge a number of teams face. Ideally you find that player in the championship, sign them cheaply enough to keep you up the first season in the prem before other teams come circling. We did that and more with Buendia. Villa did the same with Grealish. Brentford are doing that with Tony. Leicester the same with Vardy. Replacing them in the premier league is so hard. Teams suddenly look at where you are, rather than their player, and want good money. You sign some of the players we have in the Championship I reckon you could look at a good £2-3million less. Edit: To add to that, it's not easy. Those sorts of players are not easy to come by. As much as people are saying the club got it wrong over the summer, that's essentially being victims of their own success. That the players signed before have largely made us what we are, even if they weren't PL good enough. Pukki, Buendia, Godfrey, Cantwell(until this season), Aarons, Krul, Hanley, Zimmermann, McLean, Lewis, Vrancic, Hernandez. They are the signings/promoted youth that make Rashica, Sargent, Tzolis, Lees-Melou look not as good, but all of those listed before, were not signed in the premier league - such a hard league to get your English baptism in.
