We were 3 goals up, there was no need to pour forward at every attack leaving us vulnerable in defence. It would of made perfect sense to bring on an extra midfielder at half time and just continued to keep control of the game. Norwich''s biggest failure this season has been an inability to manage a game correctly when in a winning position. They don''t sit back and keep a lead, they keep attacking in a completely uncontrolled and chaotic fashion even when there is no need to, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielsroundabout 9 Posted January 17, 2015 I agree with the criticism of our ability to manage the situation when we come under pressure and need to defend late in games. We have seen this on a regular basis for two or three years now. And there''s an equally frequently exhibited weakness at these times. It is the total inability to capitalise when we break away leaving the whole of the opposition''s defence stranded in our goal area. It doesn''t seem to matter how big a man advantage we have at these times, we mess it up every time.Having said all that, today''s two goal were not related to shape or tactics, just good old fashioned crap play by individuals.
