Two away games undefeated and the Liverpool game could have gone either way. Bojan to come in and Shaq to get some games under his belt. The centre forwards got two in three games. I'm happy enough A lot of over the top criticism. We aren't going to win the bloody League !! Havent read a single criticism that I would define as 'over the top'.
I wasn't aware that only fans of the big clubs were able to discuss that days game with their fellow fans, I'm sorry.
I think what got most people bent out shape, including me, was the high expectations set by the starting line-up and how well we played in the first 15-20 minutes. It could have been very different if we'd got a second gooal; but, we didin't and we let Norwich into he game. Lots to be optimistic about. Need to be patient - something I'm not very good at.

Must say I didn't like seeing us hanging in the ropes like a tired boxer in the second half! I know Huges' teams always improve during the season, but it really wasn't reassuring!

Butland kept us in it. I thought we would win today, but in the end was happy with a point.

Everything said true, let's keep calm the line up looked terrific but we have new players that need to gel we need a win under our belt to give the new players confidence. No need for concern. I must say if we had a top striker that could finish well and calm on the ball who knows where we could go

Very good point today IMO, Norwich remind me of us in our first few seasons. They pit alot of pressure on the ball and don't let the opposition play, they will make Carrow Road a bit of a fortress. We were lucky to come away with a point thanks to Jack Butland. It will take time though for the new lads to gel, I don't think we need to be worried at all Pretty much how I see things.

Shaqiri got an assist,Butland was superb and we got a point from an away game in which we were outplayed.It's not all doom and gloom.
We are going to have bad days at the office but let's give a few more weeks before we start with the wrist slitting.

Just watched the highlights, left hand right hand fits quite well.
Shambolic defending, massive gaps in the midfield. On paper massively improved, on the pitch we look awful.

Butland was brilliant today. Man of the match by far. Defence all over the place and a big worry. We were lucky that Norwich finishing was poor.

I think we should remember the Norwich side we were playing against played most of last season together, in comparison we have a relatively new team that's trying to find its feet. We were never going to theow together all these new signings and get them to instantly click. Some big positives yesterday in terms of Butland and a good cameo of things to come from Shaqiri. Diouff looks hungry as ever and 2 goals early in the season is bound to do his confidence a world of good. Lot's of healthy competition for places. Let's take it as a somewhat fortunate point that on another day we woukdn't have got. This team is only going to get better once our little Soanish maestro returns. In Hughes I trust!

After 20 mins, I thought 3 pts here,in the end I was glad we managed a point. I worry that teams better offensively minded will have a field day with us...our back 4 and midfield hold 1 line and thats elongated and narrow and upfield...so many times a through ball caught us out yesterday...Arnie really needs to start playing the Stoke way and get bak and tackle instead of mard arsing and Diouf who has been mighitly impressive just needs to get back onside quicker...not a moan but just an observation...

(maybe not in defence)
