    Good to see the younger lads playing and not looking out of their depth. Dempsey still not clicking though.

    Agreed, and very unlucky with his shot there. He looks a decent player.

    What is the story with corners? First Falque, then Bale, then Huddlestone, all poor...

    Why does Sigurdsson not take them? He was delivering lovely crosses earlier in the season.

    Game over, 2 - 1. Disappointing after completely dominating for almost 80 minutes.

    We seem to be sitting back on 1-0 leads a lot and soaking up a lot of pressure, need to change our tactics at 1-0 I think

    In fairness Norwich were the better side for three minutes, a lucky deflection and a lucky rebound.

    Not the result I wanted but not overly upset it was just wierd.

    Yeah it was weird especially as it was such a low-tempo game, still I think we started to have the sit-back and defend mentality again once we went 1-0 and that leaves us open, even with good defending to lucky goals.

    Whatever happened to the high line?

    Thats just poor again from 1 nil up. Why can't we go on and win by 2 or 3 instead of sitting back and inviting pressure. counter attacking football with pace on the flanks should be perfect when the opposition is chasing the game. Grrrr so annoyed with tonight

    In fairness it was a lucky win for Norwich tonight, but that's what you get when you set yourself up so negatively; we're been like that for long periods in every game this season bar perhaps one.
    AVB once again gets past the 60 mins mark and makes a further defensive substitution - it's utter madness. Our style of play is crucifying us.
    We are too slow on our attack and too predictable. The 4-2-3-1 formation is not working for us, at least against weaker opponents. We lack forward movement and football brains to make the killer pass. Back to 4-4-2 for me.

    Pretty good summary http://www.cartilagefreecaptain.com/2012/10/31/3582872/norwich-vs-tottenham-hotspur-2012-league-cup-final-score-match-report-result

    We seem to excel at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this season. How come?

    I don't know, i don't want to rush into blaming AVB, the guy deserves a chance but he seems to keep making the same mistake of putting on an extra DM and sitting back to defend a narrow lead.

    I can't see why he keeps doing this even when it keeps backfiring or almost backfiring. Also i just don't see how this fits with the high line. I though his system was all about pressurizing the opposition in their half and it seems he's doing the exact opposite at critical times.
