"A very important win given our position in the table, due to the results we have been obtaining that are not positive.
"Without goals the performance is not expressed. It is very difficult to score. To be able to count on players that unbalance is very necessary."
Daniel Farke makes surprising Carrow Road claim
“We should have won this game,” Farke said post-match. “Given the workrate, what we have created, it’s disappointing then to lose this game.

Hide Ad“I can’t blame the performance. Work ethic today was 100%, performance really good, we were on the front foot the whole first half.
“This game sums up the story of the season. Other games were competitive, close, tight, we got many compliments, put performances in and were the better side at times.
“But we’re not playing for warm words and good performances, we’re playing for points.”
