Norwich City head coach makes key demand after Hull City draw
The Tigers ended their run of successive home defeats with a battling draw
Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup praised his side for fighting back to draw 1-1 at Hull City after he demanded, “I want to see my football team back”.
The Norwich boss had some tough words for his team as they trailed 1-0 at half-time to the relegation-threatened side, including for Kellen Fisher – but the player then delivered the assist for Josh Sargent’s equaliser.
The United States forward’s second-half effort was a reply to City taking a deserved 14th-minute lead through Matt Crooks’ fine finish from Lewie Coyle’s cutback.
Thorup said: “I told Kellen (Fisher) to step up in his crossing game because that was not good enough at all in the first half.
I told Lucien (Mahovo) to do the same because that was also not good enough in the first half. I told our midfield that they need to be even better on the ball if they consider themselves as technically good midfielders.
“And I think they showed that. The delivery from Kellen was a good one. We know Josh (Sargent) will always be first in those situations if the delivery is good enough quality.
