The national newspapers’ views on Norwich City’s 5-0 defeat at Fulham.
Sunday Mirror: “Norwich were over-run. A potent combination of quick passing and searching long balls had the Canaries not knowing whether to stick or twist.”
The Mail on Sunday: “Manager Chris Hughton has to pick his players up quickly for next weekend’s home clash against QPR, who also lost heavily to Swansea.”
The Observer: “Hughton was hoping to score a victory against his former mentor but his Norwich side looked a shadow of the team that finished 12th under Paul Lambert.”
The Sunday Telegraph: “Norwich had no answer to the midfield craft of Bryan Ruiz, Moussa Dembele and Mahamadou Diarra.”
The People: “New Canaries boss Chris Hughton has three main problems to sort out – his defence, midfield and attack.”

The Daily Mail's coverage was 5% Norwich, 95% the opposition, which is fairly par for the course. Or did it reflect the relative competance of the performances?
