Nyland had to make a couple of good saves in the opening 2 minutes. Since then hasn't had much to do. Was without a chance on the goal. A bit sloppy when playing long passes/ clearances under pressure but no real mistakes.

Dæhli has of course been very good, an offensive driving force. He's been let down a bit by players around him, notably left back Høgli and 'supposed' striker Elyounoussi (really a wing) who haven't been combining too well and both look frustrated. But overall he seems composed despite being 'packed in' by the French defence and has had a couple of raids, one of which looked especially dangerous.

Best players for Norway in the 1st half: Tettey > Dæhli > Johansen > King

Impressed by Tetty, Johansen and Nyland

Just hit my predicted score in this match, 4-0. Though I'm secretly impressed by how our injury-stricken team played with so many second- and third- choice players against a nearly topped France.

Norway's defense needs to seriously be looked at aging and no replacements makes me worry for them in the next Euro Qualifiers.

Dæhli is comming off Hadn't had much to show for in 2nd half.

Daehli has just been substituted in the 76th minute, he had a good first half but hardly touched the ball in the 2nd half. To be fair to him, he hasn't had any service whatsoever and has been frustrated by team mates who are far less talented than him. According to co-commentator Owen Hargreaves, he reckons Daehli will be leaving Cardiff in the summer He obviously hasn't seen Daehli's recent interview so he should have kept his mouth shut! The goalie, who has been rumoured to be linked with us, made a couple of good saves early on but didn't really have a chance on any of the goals.

Going to have another go against Russia on saturday, hopefully Morten Gamst Pedersen shakes off his injury by then because frankly I haven't seen Norwegian set pieces this rubbish since 1936 when football fields were littered with bumps and mud and the ball was made of lead and hatred.

Little faith in a win of course, with our key players all out with injury, but it has to be more respectable than the 2nd half today which was a Frankenstein show.

1936, good year

The last 20 minutes of the first half Norway looked good.. and Daehli was the creator.

That kid impresses me every time I see him. I wish he would do more darting runs into the box on occasion though.

Daehli was class in the first half. Had some good runs and was at the centre of everything norway created in attack.
I wouldn't take anyone from Norway apart from him. Thought the keeper made some good saves and King was decent but the rest of the team is a big no. I guess Tettey did ok but his passing is very weak.

Their other central midfielder was terrible, surprised they didn't play Daehli more centrally as he clearly is their only player with the kind of vision to make an impact on that level. Their defence was woeful. Worse then ours
France looks pretty good, i don't think they will win anything but could do some damage Pogba is an absolute beast ManU were crazy to let him go.

The central midfield usually consists of Per Ciljan Skjelbred (HSV, injured) and either Stefan Johansen (Celtic, pushed out to wing because of other injuries) or Eikrem (hasn't played at all for Cardiff and lost his spot)

Mohammed Abdellaoue, arguably our most important player is usually a lone striker or partnered with Marcus Pedersen (not called up due to relegation to league 1 with Barnsley) but is also injured.

So the entire front 6, except for Dæhli, were either 2nd/ 3rd choice players or out of position.

Håvard Nordtveit in CB was also an experiment as he is usually a DM, and our right back was a 2nd choice player too.

I was expecting to lose heavily and thought we wouldn't even come close so I'm happy with the spell in the end of the first half.

Fair enough but still surprised they didn't play him more centrally with the choices you had. Your central midfielders lost the ball all too easily, you can't play players with mediocre technique and vision against a top midfield like France and expect to create much. Subsequently everything remotely dangerous happened on the left side.
But i feel the same about cardiff, his talent is somewhat wasted out wide, we should play him in the hole. Hopefully we will see that next season
