Completely agree, this board can beat cesspit at times. The first 5 or 6 pages of the Match Thread yesterday were a joke. I genuinely believe we have more fans than anyone who just revel in being miserable

If you mean AEG (£8m), Trez (£9m), Wes (£22m), Nakamba (£10m) - then somebody already has, Suso was sacked at the end of our first season in the league. Not sure Nakamba will go though and he also signed Luiz who we turned down £35m for in Jan. If we lose money on Traore (£16m), Ings (£27m) or Sanson (£14m). Then rightly or wrongly, Dean Smith was sacked because he hasn't made the most of our signings the last year or so, including them, Bailey, Buendia etc.

Speaks volumes that this thread is largely silent for weeks at a time. We could probably do with a chant for him so he atleast understands the love we have for him. Do any keepers have chants these days?

Nervous start but some moments where he showed what he could bring to the table. His long stride makes him look quite quick. He got back pretty well - when Luiz came on he was much more composed on the ball (which Tim can learn with time) but there was a moment where he was tracking back and trying to catch a man and he just couldn't get near him and Chambers managed to cover him. I feel Tim would've been able to catch him, and it's margins like that that could make him a real success. Hopefully the composure comes and he gets more confident stepping into midfield. Ramsey marauding forwards or to Coutinho's wing left massive gaps in midfield and either through nerves or instruction Tim didn't move into them and we turned over possession and Norwich had room to compose themselves. But look, good starting debut for him, he looked promising again and hopefully he gets more minutes - although I can't see a start Vs Burnley, but hopefully a good 30 minutes cameo.

Luiz and Buendia having us much better on the ball.

Lovely by Ramsey

Think he was just delaying time, drinking in his first start and wasn't overly happy with himself from his facial expression. Don't think he was injured mate

We play Ings and Ollie on the wrong sides. Ollie's best stuff comes on the right imo

On a yellow on his first start. Right decision

Shame for Tim but probably right to take him off now don't want a Red on your first start, Nakamba or Luiz on for him now and then get Carney on for McGinn with 10 to go.

We've had 14 shots this game. Not all of high quality but the chances have been there.

2019/20 Pukki shoots and scores there, Norwich will get another Championship season out of him just about but need to invest in a new striker. Wouldn't be a bad place for Archer on loan next season if he goes out again.

Coutinho-Ramsey

Lovely from McGinn and Coutinho. Shame for Watkins, can't do two solos in one game. Ramsey was making the late run, would like to see Ramsey and Watkins build some rapport

Watkins and Ramsey confused and both left a pass they could've latched onto

Ings should've scored one of those two chances. Iroegbunam saw his name in lights and snatched at it

Now co-comm confused Cash and Digne

Ramsey looking for a late runner. Forgetting that he is infact our late-runs-into-the-box midfielder

Co-Commentator not been great at times. Said Gerrard looks in fine form earlier and just described Coutinho as a False 9 behind the two forwards Thought earlier they'd shown good knowledge of us and our business over the last year and expectations for the summer but have been disappointed since

Little moments like those will see Iroegbunams confidence soar. Been nervous but when he's working on moments of instinct he looks more composed. He'll do well as his confidence grows

Steve wtf. What has Buendia done?

Bloody hell, muting you you've been non stop for 37 minutes about every little thing and I don't think I've understood one opinion, it's not just negative it's just nonsense

Emi should come on, so we'll see Ings probably

Again, Ramsey runs wide and nobody fills the gap in midfield. Maybe that should be Iroegbunam but huge gaps on edge of box where we need a late runner

We've taken ages to take throw ins since MoN left. Always strikes me. Remember Bannan throwing fits on the side line as he had no options. Cash got booked in his first season for time wasting for a throw too. And he just wasn't, nobody gave him an option so he couldn't throw. Been going on years. Always notice it for some reason
