Now then, now then, keep it clean

Totally fair, worst defence in PL.

Couple of scalps will make no difference.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

There are some players undroppable in Roy’s system and Luca is one of those. He breaks up the oppositions play on a regular basis and is the heart beat of the team.

I think a good example of the imbalance in our squad right now was that at one point yesterday 6 out of 10 outfield players on the pitch were central midfielders (McArthur, McCarthy, Luka, Kouyate, Riedewald, Meyer). We are fortunate that Kouyate looks comfortable at the back and that Riedewald wasn't really tested again, but we really need to address this in January. Norwich played fairly well, but I always felt confident we would get something as we controlled the midfield for most of the game. Once again our lack of forward options was really highlighted. I was really pleased for Wickham.

A an aside, if Norwich go down I would love us to try and get Aarons as he looked very promising.

Thought that overall we were the better side and deserved something from the game but once again huffed and puffed without much end product.

On the other had Norwich had less of the ball but looked much more of an attacking threat. We were a little fortunate that their manager took off Cantwell and Pukki as they looked more likely to nick a second goal than us equalise.

Wickham has made a difference in his two sub appearances bringing more physicality and directness to the front line and is one of the few players available capable of putting his laces through the ball if he gets a sight of goal.

Sakho has become so injury prone with his age it’s hard to see him lasting at the top level.

The players have been fantastic this season. To hear from Roy that most of the team that played at Norwich were carrying injuries, after the run of games we've had, to come back and get a point was absolutely tremendous.

At the start of the season I had us down as clear relegation candidates given the squads of the other teams. It really shows the character of the players that have got us in the position we are now and the great job Roy is doing.

I just hope we can find one or two players in January to help out if not I still think we could get dragged into relegation trouble.
