Should have beat them there.

Ross Barkley single-handedly brought GOT to its knees!

And spunked on a few faces!!

How did we line up boys? 4-2-3-1?

Worked all afternoon so missed the game.

 

[bicycleheader]

maybe it was for a reason that im missing, but i was unhappy with the naismith sub for mirallas. dont think that was the right move

Well to me Kev was not playing so well and in that period of the game starting copying Osman and was giving the ball away. He also wasnt geting back to rapid to retrieve it...so i could understand the swap.

 

[Allezfan]

Last year away to Fulham all over again. Battered them and drop points.

Said exactly that, to a mate.

 

[toffee matt]

I hate Norwich, every season we play them off the park but never win

 

[Titus Bramble]

Very promising performance by us today. As has been said, if we play like that every week we'll win more then we lose. You could argue both of their goals were fortunate with ricochets and attempted shots that turn into pin point crosses and I think we deserved the win.

Barkley and Fellaini were our 2 best players today. Barkley for obvious reasons and I thought Fellaini did a very good job at breaking up play in front of our defense (apart from the first goal) and helping move it back up the pitch.

It's an improvement on last year's result at Carrow Road, that's good enough for me! (c) Cookie Monster

Brilliant today, well impressed.

Ross was Boss.

I didn't watch it.

Worked all afternoon so missed the game.

We kept possession in the first half with a 1-1 upfront in Barkley behind Jelly Fellaini the holding midfielder, but after we conceded against the run of play we were outstanding Barkley MOTM - Coleman outstanding too - their equaliser was so lucky again against the run of play! the football we played when 2-1 up was a joy to watch our central defence again lucks as shaky as last year !!!

 

[Furey1878]

Good performance.

Norwich fortunate with their goals but fair play, both were taken very well.

Should have won.

Barkley is the chosen one.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Great atmosphere from the away lads today, bouncing till they fluked the equaliser.

Should have won it really, a little bit casual and trying to walk it in till they scored then upped the tempo and got the lead.

Didn't think it was much different to some of our games under Moyes when we played well really, just didn't resort to hoofing although they sat back and allowed us to pass it around.

THE ROSSATRON was MOTM, everyone else done alright apart from Osman who really looked like the pace is too much for him these days, strolled around midfield, played simple passes and 3 awful ones straight to Norwich players. Still got the talent in his feet but he's just too inneffective these days and only gonna get worse.

I with those that said promising performance today - in particular by one Mr. Barkley.

We passed the ball around well, looked like we had attacking ideas...and overall looked fit and fast.

We were undone by a great chip/rebound after Fellaini gave up on a play, and an absolute beautiful header after Jags missed his leap. No complaints really, neither savable and good goals.

Barkley's goal was brilliant.

Draws happen, not awful to start the season.

Only player I was concerned about was Osman. He's been "meh" for weeks. What's going on there?

At least we're not Arsenal, West Brom or Sunderland.

Osman is now not a 90 minute player only a squad player!
