Correct, the alternatives are pretty dire. Whilst the manager shoulders responsibility more often than not I think in Norwich's situation the players need to stand up and be counted. Yesterday they were absolutely shocking against us, waved the white flag from the first minute.
The manager can't be held accountable for simple things like players not closing down space. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that coming to the Etihad to have even the smallest of chances you mustn't give us space in which to play.
The previous week they had 31shots on goal and drew 0-0 at home to Cardiff - again Houghton shouldn't held be accountable for that. Their players need to take a long hard look at themselves.
