Ok, so let's get this through quickly because we were horrible.
In the 20th minute, (Don't remember the name, can't be asked) shot's from outside the box swerve in Mannone's glove and it rebounded out for Holt who tapped it in. We didn't close what's-his-name down quick enough.
We almost conceded another when Holt put a corner in and Mannone went to punch it out. Of course, he missed it and almost an easy tap in if not thanks to Arteta. Our players looked tired, no urgency to get back in the game and uninterested. First half ended.
You may wonder why there's no Arsenal chances I mentioned. Well, simply because there's NONE. The only thing positive from Arsenal you can imagine at that time is that there's surely can't be a worse performance display in the second half. But guess what? There is.
Second half, we still keep our possession about 60% of the time and always got caught on the counter. There maybe 4-5 chances for Norwich which they fluffed it themselves. The moment when Vermaelen slipped and Holt took the chance and went by himself, that's when I know that we collapse. You can see it on the centerback. He was dubious in his decision, fragile. We later on got a chance for Gervinho in front of goal but it was a good block from a Norwich defender. Credits to Norwich though, they did well and followed their game plan. After all, it's not easy being an Arsenal fan.
