Match Reaction Vs Norwich

[Xhaka Can’t]

It was obvious Wenger underestimated the opponents. He picked Wilshere (who he said yesterday was only 80% match fit) to use because he thought there was a fair chance we would be cruising and be allowed to give Wilshere a run-out. What kind of message does that send out?

A very bad one.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Its was Norwich FFS, don't matter who was said to play we should be beating them. Whether understimating them or not. its not like they are a west brom or stoke, Everton or barcodes.

We could have beat then with our CC team.

As disprespecting as it sounds to norwich, they're are shit! You're right we should have beaten them, but nooooooooo! We let fucking grant holt score! FFS!

I agree with this too, but are footballers that thick (we know they are) but that thick to not actually do the job they are paid to do and claim they enjoy?

They got paid didn't they? What more do you want from them?

Pretty much, Upton Park was a harder game then this, but we still beat them. maybe we underestimated them too.

End of the day we should be beating them. Not saying we should not turn up on the pitch and expect to beat them. But with what ever team aw puts out we should be beating them.

Its not as if we played a reserve team etc.

We won that game because Theo came on but before that we were struggling like we were today.

They did, but I wrongly thought we had a a different team and mentality this year. Silly me eh?

Even so we one, and that was a harder game. We should no need Theo to come one to win this game, yes we missed him but we should not have needed too.

It's the same as always, we appear to improve in certain areas but then begin to lack in lack in others. We have half a chance in the cups depending on the draws and how seriously we take them, but as for the league and CL, not a chance in hell and that's what is so frustrating.

I think we were set up badly and it's not just about the mentality. Giroud is the type of striker that relies on service and he needs a lot of support around him because unlike Gervinho, he's not that mobile outside of the box and he's not floating around dragging defenders out of position and being a nuisance. We needed Cazorla to play higher up to support and play him through and get play flowing between Poldoski, Giroud and Gervinho but that wasn't happening. I blame Ramsey for this mostly because he contributes nothing from deep or higher up field. Can't thread a ball through when high up or be trusted to play the right pass and protect the ball when deep.

Add Polsolski in the mix who doesn't really run at defenders or acts as a pass master from the flanks, wasteful Gervinho and his hit and miss dribbling...we really struggled to break down Norwich. If a team sits deep, we're screwed. QPR next and Hughes already knows how to play against Wenger and despite their poor form, I think we could have a tricky game against them as well.
