Please tell me that someone has highlighted that comment to him tonight. Plonker

He has retweeted it himself

I’m hoping that the difference between our new attacking approach and Norwich’s much-heralded expansive style is that we’ve actually got some decent defenders.

We KNOW that we can defend against any Premier League team, we won’t have forgotten how to do it when we need to. Kudos to CH for that

Please put Mane on for the second half!

Going well is it, Mr Humphrey?

You simply can’t do what Norwich are doing, and hope to God GP doesn’t have us playing this open and disorganised. Attack minded yes, but you have to have some structure and tactical awareness of where the opposition are hurting you. Norwich despite getting forward are dropping far too deep leaving space wide and outside their box where Liverpool are most dangerous.

Did you not watch the Valencia game? Loads don’t seem to grasp Potters tactics at all.

Let's hope we can do better against a rampant Liverpool.

Coca-cola can **** off too with their feel good football video, and diabetes inducing fizzy sugar juice.

Is it a bit rash to be saying after this first half performance that Norwich are nailed on for 20th place.
Simply woeful at the back (as they were in the championship). This game could end up 7 or 8 nil.

Time to fire up the twitter account and troll that Jake Numpty for his anti Brighton comment.

Norwich could do with some of Hughton’s away tactics.

I wonder if Delia still has Hughton's number

Shut up, you're putting the willies up me!

Norwich’s defence will struggle against average attacks. Their attack will be strong against poorer defences. I fancy our chances against them over the course of the season.

Their defence wasn't particularly great last season but they were efficient and decent going forward. This season they still have a dodgy defence and their attacking prowess versus premier league defences is going to diminish considerably.

Hope someone tells Liverpool to keep this up and demoralise Norwich

It was a rhetorical comment really.

I know it’s Liverpool, and they are very strong going forward. But every PL team must be looking at that and thinking, ‘we can score against this, as long as we keep it tight at the back’. And the transfer window is closed, so it’s not like they can go out on Monday and buy a couple of experienced journeymen

 

[Durlston]

Oh, Adrian is on. West Ham fans speak very highly of him.

Sure they'll be upset if they don't put six past this lot, they may need the goal difference at the top.

Some great comments on that tweet!

 

[Nottseagull]

Or is it, in effect, 5 at the back when Potter sets up against the mega spenders?

If you mean in a 3:4:3 then that would require the two wide forwards to drop back to fill the midfielders' places, so effectively 5:4:1
hopefully (at this level )

Thanks retweeted. It would be rude not to.

Indeed. Plenty of posts from the original Hughton out brigade saying they’d prefer results like tonight’s and relegation rather than more defensive football. Some even stopped watching live Premier League football because they couldn’t grasp why we weren’t playing like Man City.

I hope we play like we did last season against Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool etc away. We’ll have a much better chance of getting a point then the 6 finger folk.

Rather lose 1 or 2 nil to the top six away than the thrashing that waits for every team lower half team. Goal difference once again is essential for us
