Norwich Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[nedley]

Fantastic result. Nice to be above the goons. Nice to get a clean sheet too.

That will give Wimmer some confidence going into the next couple of games.

 

[Hazelton]

Great result, professional performance.

Is anything wrong with Lamela or was he just not used?

Liverpool had 64 % possession vs Leicester and had twice as many completed passes but yet lost by 2 goals. The new Wimbledon but they have to be taken as serious title contenders now

But surely some of the old laws of Brendanomics still hold true? You win possession, you win the match?

 

[whitelanefever]

Norwich are in big trouble... There players have no discipline, too busy looking for excuses & moaning at officials.. we were professional & done our job

 

[Mr Pink]

Damn, are Leicester actually going to win the Premier League!?

Will have a very clear idea on that if they perform well and take more points in the next two games. Even if they win one of them, or avoid defeat in both...there's a very real chance IMO - if they avoid significant injuries.

Still waiting for the next two games though.

How does Poch know if Kane gets clattered in the 85 minute in a game of football. People like you are annoying. If the game is won you take your best players off. Every other manager in our position would. Norwich are proper shit, can understand it against city or arsenal who can hurt you at any time but fucking Norwich??

How many times do you see Ronaldo or Messi being taken off against the minnows in La Liga?

You don't is the answer. Big players want to compete in every minute of every match, and Kane is our 'big' player.

If they don't lose either of the next two, they're my title favourites.

 

[Wolver]

Am i seeing things or do we actully have the best goal differnce in the league...

 

[Spurger King]

Top six have pulled away for now. And fair play to Leicester, they are going over every hurdle so far.

They're doing a great job of dispatching the mid-table dross.

 

[jasswolf]

Besides the next two games, their run in is ridiculously easy too... I can genuinely see the fuckers winning the league with that crap excuse for football...

They just keep letting the opposition give them chances and have some wonderful players who run their arses off for the counter option.

That gets them a lot of 1v1s deep in their final third, and from there you're quickly into the penalty area with a high chance to score, and score is exactly what Vardy and Mahrez have done.

The other thing they've been doing to get themselves into the box quickly is first time chips and passes. It might not look pretty at times, but the ability to have such touches under pressure is impressive and shows how fiddly some of the top class teams have become about possession and shooting (something we can learn a lot from).

This team have completely turned around my expectations for this season.

I'm not going to be pessimistic anymore, our form is title winning worthy. Until they prove me otherwise, I'm going to enjoy the prospect of winning the league this season.

 

[lukadownthelane]

We used to mess up these mid week games. Long may it continue.

 

[Mr Pink]

Norwich, Sunderland and Villa will be the three to go IMO.

 

[sparx100]

That will give Wimmer some confidence going into the next couple of games.

Yeah absolutely. Didn't see the game but hope he dealt with things well. Didn't sound like Norwich really troubled us that much bar that patch in the second half.

 

[worcestersauce]

Good win not in any danger throughout by the sounds of it, third now nothing else matters, what Leicester did is irrelevant only what we do is relevant.

I'd guess this season is the first time that's happened in my lifetime (27 years). It's incredible.

 

[kitchen]

A stupid and flawed statistic to look at any game. The game is about goals not keep ball.

Of course it is, but it's also supposed to be the beautiful game, and I can't find any beauty in a team that likes the ball in the air more than it likes it on the ground...

 

[Spurger King]

Who's names Harry Kane?

Engelbert Humperdinck.

 

[oskathegobshite]

fair play to Leicester if they win the title regardless of football style. They did a pro job on us at the Lane and teams are STILL underestimating them in spite of everything.
