The pressures on Norwich

[Wales-Bales]

2-O down already.

[City123]

They've played very well, don't deserve to be behind

Losing at Anfield on the opening day doesn't put any kind of pressure on a newly promoted side

They look exciting going forward and have had chances. However, defending has been terrible and it’s 3-0 after 28 mins.

Could easily be looking at a 6-0 - and Liverpool aren’t out of 2nd gear

I’m not sure about that now that they are 4-0 down. This could be embarrassing.

I do find it funny how people talk up teams like Norwich this season and Fulham last season, and then they get battered, when we were condemned by nearly everyone before a ball was kicked and made a good fist of staying up.

Call me bitter (go on then....) but I find it quite ironic seeing a promoted team (other than us!) getting battered.

That post was true at the time, two goals have gone in since then

So probably posted in too much haste considering that they were 2-0 after only 19 mins!

[BLUETIT]

Thing is, they’ve created about 4 quality chances, but the only fella that had a go, was 20 yards out.

You can’t walk it in boys, you gotta shoot when you get the chance

What's ironic about it?

As for teams from the Championship being talked up, that happened to Wolves. They did alright as I recall.

To be honest, I haven't heard anyone talking up Norwich. On the contrary, most of season previews I've read have had Norwich in the bottom three.

Maybe you missed the game last night as the pundits certainly were.

Played very well? They've looked OK at times and moved the ball a bit. But played well is a stretch. Played well for a team that doesn't belong in the EPL maybe.

Fair enough trying to impose your style on the PL but fecking hell this could be a cricket score by the end of the night

Scoring an own goal 6 minutes in didn't help them in fairness

I'd rather go for it the way they have rather than just sit back and hope for the best

If it's a Glamorgan or Ireland score you're talking about then you could be right.

[City123]

....and its 4

Norwich's heads have gone

[fred keenor]

4 0 now

[Wales-Bales]

I'm glad we're no longer the Premier League punchbag!

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Liverpool taking the piss now

Hobson's choice really, though. "So little minnow, how do you want your arse handed to you?"

Shit division. The result is virtually certain in too many games.

100%, most clubs can write off their games against the "Big 6"

Knowing that, for me teams might as well go for it and see what happens, with some of the chances Norwich crafted they could easily have scored a couple themselves

I hate that attitude though as it’s what normalises the shit decisions given to the top 6 and it doesn’t get the fans even hoping for something.

The top 6 can be beaten in a blue moon but the media changes that mentality for not only the fans but the opponent

It’s when they come out with all this stuff about not changing their style and philosophy.

So they end up trying to play exactly the same at Liverpool as they did Rotherham.

Unsurprisingly, it produces different results

Pretty much like Cardiff, then.

So treat it as a training session for the forwards? I'm not against it- any attempt at resistance is futile after all. But I suspect it's a choice of losing 3-0 or 5-2
