Norwich City v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Thank god for Raphinha!

[John in Louisiana]

Any doubt about who gets MOTM?

[Carrick Dave]

That’ll do pig.

[Ellandback1]

The difference between Norwich and Leeds is Raphinha!

[WhiteRose]

Thank god for that! Not great but take that all day long.

Relief, so reliant on Raph to carry us. We need to get rid of Meslier, how many goals does he cost us?

I'd prefer a more senior number 1.

But he has done fine largely imo (he isn't as good with the ball at his feet as he thinks)

What a depressing statement

[SG90]

Phillips hasn't played well either.

Passing all over the shop

Yep. I think he thinks he's already at Man Citeh.

We won and a useful 3 points. But need to improve big time - we only get to play Norwich twice. That level of performance will not get us any points from the majority of teams.

[Cjay]

Know people don't all like xG but Norwich had a slightly higher one than us.

Individual quality was the difference is what that shows.

Also wtf is wrong with our passing?

Two defenders went up for that ball and missed it.

But he gave away a needless corner. He did right at the end of the first half too, when the ball was going well wide.

[Carrick Dave]

Norwich deserved to lose that. So did Leeds.

Thought that myself, doesn't look interested

Meslier wasn’t entirely to Blame - shacks could have let that ball got out. Played it back to Meslier on his right peg, using his left was still poor but then the defending at the corner was all over the place. Lorentz lost his man and Dallas challenge was not sufficient to make it difficult for the scorer. Meslier is a quality keeper to suggest he needs replacing is ludicrous. Who do you want Tim Krul ??

[SG90]

Nothing other than a win was acceptable, but we won't face opposition that poor every week. We look just as bad as Norwich tbh, save for Raphinha.

[Cjay]

I just want to know what us wrong with out passing.

The issue with our style is careless passes are a killer and atm it's dreadful.

Better teams than Norwich will make far better use of it.

KP and Harrison in particular today were awful for that.

[BillyBremner]

That’s 10 pts from 10 games. Still on track for the 40 odd pts we need to stay up.

"Players win matches not systems"
Dean Smith.

Says a lot about him. . . .

Bielsa has totally the opposite attitude.

Imo they are both wrong, the answer is somewhere in the middle and if you get the balance wrong (as we have and so have Villa seemingly) then it is asking for trouble.

We give away countless passes, free kicks and corners, which always costs us goals.
