Norwich only had two players away on international duty, while Arsenal had 14.
Arsene Wenger (who celebrated his birthday yesterday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENGER!) said that having 14 players away proved we had very good players on the squad, but they were tired. Cazorla especially was not the light, fast genius Arsenal fans have become accustomed to. By contrast he looked tired, as did a lot of our internationals. The international break meant we were disjointed, tired and didn't gel as a team.
However, no excuses. We can complain about the international break all we like, but we really should be beating teams like Norwich.
On the day, we played badly. We had more chances, more ball, and more possession, but we couldn't do anything with it.
Norwich should be commended for an absolutely fantastic performance, especially defensively.
Arsenal will need to step it up before our mid-week Champions League match against Schalke. The game should be interesting, it could go either way, but Arsenal will need to play a lot better than we did this weekend.
