it’s because he doesn’t pass very much because he’s our dribbler. The irony of criticising a player for playing his role is hilarious.

Hopefully the club can identify those twats (shouldn’t be too hard with the amount of cctv, social media, stewards ect.) and ban them

Didn’t watch the match. How did Nabby play?
Seen the goals and Alisson save. Great saves.
Did well in a conservative midfield. Never lost his head passed conservatively and helped us controll the match. After our 1st goal lots of backward passes and looked for second balls all game. Upuntil our 1st goal was the thrust to our attacks keeping Norwich defense busy.
If he stays fit he’s a good fit for us but we already knew that.

Apart from the goals, my favourite moment of the match was the triple Alison intervention - you shall not pass.
Glad to get the win and clean sheet after the troubles from last season. Can prepare properly for the Burnley match as well as plenty of days till then.

Yeah, because if they don’t like it, they have to read it, no way around it, can’t just, say, scroll past it… 
What about the ones that love it? Should we “imagine” it? 
Lengthy post match by @cynicaloldgit back please!

Just what we needed to start off the season. A good workman like display from all of the team. Tsimikas had a very good first half and I think the incident second half was that the Norwich left back had gone down injured in their half and was still on the floor after a few minutes. Tsimikas held onto the ball expecting the ref to blow and get the trainers on. Anyway after all that!
A solid start by all. We will see a lot different midfield when we’re up against the big boys and I think Jurgen will rotate the front four a lot more this season depending on injuries.
Only saw the second half. It was the pressing that stood out for me. We haven’t seen that level of intensity for some time and it worked.
Got the job done otherwise.

We would have to ban every fan in the ground. Education is probably more reasonable - our fans have gotten away with that chant for a long time.
Inform why it’s no longer acceptable and then start imposing punishments otherwise we’re moving the goalposts.

I’m going to show my complete lack of education on this but is there such thing as a hetrosexual rent boys? Or is a rent boy somebody who is only homosexual?
Suppose it doesn’t really matter if the chat is meant to be a homophobic slur anyhow. Just wondering if it’s a case of people not realising the meaning behind the phrase
How do you think I know?

This was fantastic, the game was won and he just did not want to concede.
All evidence pointing towards a team that has rediscovered it’s hunger and that ruthless streak.

You just know Alisson and probably VVD to a larger extent are hammering home “clean sheet clean sheet” when when 3-4 up

It was big in the 80s and 90s with all fans but you don’t hear it much now. It’s origins are homophobic although I can believe there are people singing it now who don’t know that. I don’t like songs about the opposition generally anyway. It’s small time behaviour, but this chant isn’t just small time, it’s homophobic and absolutely cretinous. Fair play to the club for calling the fans out on it.

Felt our pressure really suffered from the lack of fans last season - and the cb injuries… and the condensed schedule.
