I think it's safe to say we aren't anywhere near our best at the moment. We aren't playing with the fluidity AVB is looking for and the pace of our game. Saturday was another example of the case and fair to play to Norwich who kept going and caused us problems.
Their goal was an obvious error as Hilario should have stayed put and let Ivanovic deal with the cross that came in. Hilario has done quite well and is a good shot stopper but the sooner we get Petr Cech back in goal, the quicker our defense can calm down.
As for our attacking play, again could be a lot quicker and more decisive. The positives from the game were obviously Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku coming on with Mata making an instant impact. Mata showed glimpses of what he can bring to our side and he is someone that we need in our side. Lukaku is massive and showed the strength he has that he can build on.
Like I said in the title of this blog post, a win is a win and that's important considering we aren't playing anything like our best at the moment.
People will get carried away with United and City at the moment and maybe they are quite right to be, but the fact is, we haven't played well really and have seven points out of nine. With the international break is now upon us, a time for the players to head off and take their minds off the premier league.
When they come back we have Sunderland away before the trip to Old Trafford where we hope to be getting somewhere nearer to where we want to be. We definitely need to improve and start implementing the way AVB wants us to play sooner rather than later.
The positive from the last two games is the way we have fought back and never given up. That shows the character of our side. Let's just make sure it's something we can build on asap!
