and as to the view of neutrals - this from the telegraph

The scoreline will ultimately detract from Norwich’s excellence, however unfair that might be. Daniel Farke’s team equalised through a Teemu Pukki penalty and may well have gone on to win the game had it not been for their typically vulnerable defence letting them down at the end, when Alli’s deflected cross landed on the head of Son at the back post.

For Norwich, it was a night that summarised their season. They played some lovely football, which was far more attractive than anything produced by their more illustrious opponents, but their defence was far too easily exposed in the key moments. They remain six points away from safety

        That's incredibly harsh on Krul (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 23, 10:19:35
        
        Don't agree. He's good on penalties, I don;t feel he saves much else but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:22:19
        
        I think he's partly the reason our scorelines have looked competitive (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 23, 11:22:32
        
        I think Krul has been very good this season and potential POTS IMHO (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 23, 10:47:55
        
        Not easily, but we could definitely realistically have another 8-10 points (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 09:49:53

    - Or we lose to bizarre deflections, VAR etc. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 08:18:09
    - In fairness to the defenders (who should still react better) they are (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 07:51:14
      - Have a look at Zimmerman for Alli’s goal, he was clueless. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 08:28:37
        
        fail to stop the cross and good players will eventually score (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:02:09
        
        Hanley had already cut out several of those crosses (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:05:15
        
        I don;t really agree with continuing to play Byram ahead of Lewis. I think (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:18:13
        
        Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 11:24:21
        
        yes- but one will get thru eventually (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:07:01
        
        Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:09:19
        
        Yes they should react better but players need to play the percentages more (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 08:59:58
        
        it's exactly that i think (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:03:19
