Norwich City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Gerrin]

Just seen the handball again. It was ridiculous, especially when you compare it to Terry's at Chelsea.

If you look at his face he doesn't even know where the ball is until it hits his hand.

Daylight robbery. Luna and Tonev have a lot to earn. Weimann remains out of form. Good job Norwich are crap. And that we have MOTM Brad. Can we play every week at Carrow Road?! Woohoo!!

I thought Weimann played well yesterday, he is the sort who can be relayed on to do the tough defensive work as well as attacking.

More positives than negatives, second half we played well, so did they, second it was more about digging in and we did that better than we have for a long time.  Clean sheet is great, Guzan was easily our MOTM and the new striker scoring is another plus.  Once again my main down point is that we didn't keep the ball well enough throughout the game and so invited pressure onto us.

But yeah a good win which hopefully should set up a decent week in both cup and League.

Apologies if already mentioned, but I believe Michael Owen to be a massive wanker.

No he's just really dull, not sure which is worse.  Why do you bring him up?

Even he didn't think it was a penalty.

There was massive dose of dullness  watching the game with both Owen and Halsey commenting. I initially thought it's a brilliant idea by BT to have an ex-con giving his opinion as well but Halsey was disappointing.

I think having a recently retired PL ex-ref as part of the commentary team gives a different take on the usual drivel from co-commentators. Halsey said he wouldn't have given the penalty against us yesterday and thought Foy got it wrong.

He's actually quite insightful it's just the dull monotone but he will improve as Alan smith had to

He's about as insightful as Mark Lawrenson. Cliches inc.

I just read the 'report' of our game in the Sun. I can only assume to bloke writing the report didn't watch the game. Here are a few examples -

- Ciaran Clark 'Gave away penalty with a handball in the box 5'. Ludicrous he had an excellent game.

- Antonio Luna 'Coped well with the threat of Snodgrass 6'. Nope he had a mare.

- KEA 'Needs to start scoring more 5'. Since he was our defensive midfielder I don't think so.

- Alexander Tonev 'Shot wide in the 56th minute. Solid'. He was anything but solid.

Also apparently we really lucky and Norwich should have been out of sight by the time we scored, ignoring the fact we'd hit the post.

I get the distinct impression that Sun match reports are written with the benefit of watching MOTD (or perhaps Goals on Sunday!)

Normally if you win, everyone gets a 7, except the scorers who get 8, and anyone involved in a goal for the other team who gets a 5 or 6. I would take no notice!

On Weimann, he was definitely hit and miss. He normally is. But he provided telling contributions to most of our best moves, including the goal.

I wouldn't say he's a wanker, just a bit boring.

Weimann did well yesterday and showed signs of returning to form, he was a lot more sharp.

[silhillvilla]

Think AW just needs that elusive goal. He's unlucky when he's hit that post

Just great....we get something from Halsey and it doesn't matter ... huh
