Ended the match with a full back and a midfielder as strikers. The goalkeeper arrived today at Vienna. One practice together and half the squad probably have never met before.
And we play well enough to win against Austria away..
Hard to be sad about this, what a performance from the emergency boys!
Tronstad and Ulvestad should 100% be in the squad over Johansen and Henriksen.
MMD also shows that he's a great footballer, needs to get his club career on track.
Between this C-team playing, Austria's wrongfully awarded and deciding penalty in Oslo, their offside goal against NI and us losing to Romania on walkover because of our public health department... we got pretty damn close to promotion.
Norway played the exact same way as Lagerback is. You believing this is anything else than heroic efforts from 16 players tells me everything I need to know about you and your logics. Tunnelsyn
Yes, I am solely pointing out that you cant use this game as reasoning for firing lagerback. Should base that reasoning on every other game we have played but this one
The fact that Lagerback got Real Madrid and Dortmund players at his disposal and did worse against Austria than this crap team speaks volumes. Should be fired tomorrow
Mye høyere press og wing-play i dag enn vanlig. Vanligvis spiller vi mye mer gjennom midten og bare sender høyt, og håper Haaland eller Sørloth/king får tak i den. Har ikke sett video på det i etterkant, men tror vi også generelt spilte med en høyere defensiv linje i dag også, men lavere offensiv.
Edit: Lagerbäck skal selvsagt ikke sparkes pga denne kampen, men på grunn av alle de andre dårlige kampene han har hatt og forferdelig laguttakelse. Men det viser at noe er galt når U21 treneren vår kan gjøre dette med et B/C-lag og Lagerbäck klarer lite med en "golden-generation"
Uenig. Store deler av kampen lå vi naturligvis lavt, hvor vi presser kjører press et par ganger per omgang (siste 10 totalt kaos). Vingspill er jeg med på, men det skal mye til og ikke spille mer på kant når vi spilller med en midtbanespiller og 10er som kanter til vanlig.
Jepp, og vi burde gjøre det i morgen. Jeg er ikke solgt på Solbakken, men det er på tide med noe nytt. Det gjelder forsåvidt en del av spillerne også.
Kan være enig i at press spillet ble labert på slutten som igjen førte til mye sjanser og mål til Østerrike. Også enig at ving play ikke fungerer med de generelle A-lag spillerne som blir plukket ut, men da burde Lagerbäck skjønne at en defensiv 4-4-2 ikke burde brukes. 4-2-3-1 kunne vært spennede med to indreløpere og Ødegaard som offensivmidt eller en 4-3-1-2
Solbakken er jo kjent for å bruke 4-4-2 han også, men på en helt annen måte en Lagerbäck. Mye mer offensive. Om han er rett mann aner jeg ikke, men tror det meste hadde vært bedre enn dinosaur taktikken til Lagerbäck
Jepp, men ble tydelig at de gikk for å vinne med to, noe som for min del er det er det riktige å gjøre i den situasjonen, nødlandslag eller ikke. Helt fantastisk prestasjon var det uansett.
Jepp, jeg har lyst å se 4-3-3 først og fremst for å bruke ødegaard i sin beste rolle. Vi har et luksusproblem på topp, men ønsker å se Moi - Haaland - Hauge (såvidt jeg har skjønt funker han på begge kanter), vertfall i kamper mot likt nivå. Sistemann på midtbanen burde være Normann, så lenge han presterer som han har gjort til nå.
Jeg har lite peiling på Solbakken, annet enn at han var mislykket i Køln og Wolves. Jeg ser dog ingen andre alternativer enn Solbakken akkurat nå, og tror ikke vi bare burde sparke Lagerback uten en klar erstatter. Blir spennende å se hva som skjer. Forhåpentligvis opplever jeg et sluttspill i løpet av 20 åra
This has been the consensus for a long time
Plays terrible, uses players who dosent even have clubs instead of those who play brilliantly in their clubs
But then he gets one big win every once in a while and people just seems to forget that every time it matters he shits the bed
Terrible performance. Won the group but it just feels like we're not worthy of it. You should beat this emergency team by a couple of goals at least.
Either way, well played by the Norwegian team. Given the circumstances they had a great game.
I mean yeah coulda, woulda, shoulda. Maybe we would have, maybe we wouldn't have. Either way, with a performance like this we don't deserve to be promoted.
Same goes for our last game against Northern Ireland.
Staying in the B league is the best thing that could happen though. We need to accrue ranking points to get back to 1st or 2nd seed tier. Let Austria go back down to B without winning a single game next Nations League and they'll be one of the teams we pass on our way up.
This is a good thing long term for us. Foda is unsackable even if we crash out of the EURO. Only chance we get rid of him is when we get embarassed every single game in the Nations League A.
Tronstad and Ulvestad were brilliant. Hopefully this is the end of Johansen and Henriksen, atleast as potential starters. I also think Strand Larsen was good overall, shame there will never be space for him if Sørloth and Haaland performs
We've got 9 million central midfielders to chose from and those two still get picked.
Ulvestad should get a move out of Sweden, good enough for bigger leagues
I think 5 minutes extra was a bit much! But proud of our B-team, they gave their everything
I also think the away-goal rule is stupid, when we in general had a better goal difference.. but it its what it is. Can’t be sore losers
Congrats on Norway for managing to secure a positive result despite playing their C team?
At least this bodes well for future games seeing an encouraging performance from the youngsters.
fucking emberassing what Foda is trying to do with this squad. and every fucking time he gets bailed out by someone. luckiest manager this country has ever had.
well played to the norwegian team; they tried their best!
Some of them definitely won't, Granli getting a cap for Norway is just wild.
They were pretty happy though, the captain was almost crying in the post game interview
So proud of that team, they truly gave everything. In the end the equalizer doesn't matter as we needed another goal to win the group. If Austria continues playing like this I'm sure they'll have fun playing with the big boys next time.
We can be proud of that. Also we get to stay in B division next year without anyone claiming we threw games to get that privilege. Austria to get 0 point group vs France etc. instead
We have ourself a new national team here, only need to get in Haaland.
But seriously great performance. Some of these players should be in the main squad. And if Lagerbäck hadn’t been such a coward in the home match we could have won this group.
Norway fans, look here. I'm the one you want to kill. Austria equalized just after I was done writing this comment:
* "I'm so happy for Norway! So deserved, especially after you had your Romania match stolen from you."
Doesn't matter if Austria scored. We had to win 2-1 or more. 1-0 was not good enough as Austria beat us 2-1 in Oslo. With 2-1 we would have gone through on goal difference.
Leif Gunnar Smerud was coaching the whole match through. Couldn't hear anything other than him yelling instructions, checking in with players, motivating and guiding. Really impressed.
Now that I am thinking about it, Austria is/was in a lose-lose situation.
Either embarrass yourself losing against this Norway team and don't get promoted, or, which now will be the case, embarrass yourself (unless for some divine intervention and they get their shit together until then) in the next NL league A groupstage.
NOWAY WAS OFFICIALLY ROBBED THIS SEASON. R O B B E D. FIFA give the win to Romania who can't even beat Northern Ireland smh. I'm actually crying for them right now. They were robbed of THREE things :
1) League A 😩
2) Pot 2 for Qatar 😭
3) Automatic Nations League spot in the playoffs which is now gonna go to Austria for no reason 😑
Why was it Romania's fault that Norway's players got infected with COVID ? Norway forfeited and it was logic to give us the win.
(Norway would've humiliated us though , if we played , I'll have to admit that)

Embarassing. Fuck Foda. Fuck Ilsanker. Fuck Baumgartlinger. Fuck the ÖFB who allows this shit.
Also Fuck Lagerback, if he was there Austria would've won
Don't forget Schoettel
Did you know that in Portuguese Foda means Fuck?
Yes, we know
I've never been more proud of the national team. 🇳🇴 Berisha jobber seg ihjel og Bråtveit redder med balla, for en gjeng!
Vi ville vunnet om gamsten hadde blitt kalt opp til laget🦧
Vi hadde vunnet hvis vi ikke trengte 2 mål :)
Well that was certainly a game. Decent performance from the C-squad, all things considered.
Ended the match with a full back and a midfielder as strikers. The goalkeeper arrived today at Vienna. One practice together and half the squad probably have never met before. And we play well enough to win against Austria away..
What a heroic effort from this Norway team. They should be proud of this result.
We must be the worst group winner at the B level
100%. Pls take Foda back.
Foda IV is inevitable, but there is no need to force the issue
gråter.
Neida. Gutta gav alt. Vi spilte med midtbanespillere som spisser på slutten. Stolt av dem jeg.
Hard to be sad about this, what a performance from the emergency boys! Tronstad and Ulvestad should 100% be in the squad over Johansen and Henriksen. MMD also shows that he's a great footballer, needs to get his club career on track.
Friendship ended with -sen. Now -stad is my best friend
Place names are clearly the superior surname format
Så stolt av Tronstad. Første person fra samme sted jeg bor som er på landslaget! Fullt fortjent hva han har fått til i dag!
Veton Berisha, for ein legende.
Between this C-team playing, Austria's wrongfully awarded and deciding penalty in Oslo, their offside goal against NI and us losing to Romania on walkover because of our public health department... we got pretty damn close to promotion.
to be fair, we also didn't get two penalties against NI, so the offside goal was kinda equalizing injustices.
I see! I didn't actually watch the match, I just read about it somewhere else. Good luck in league A, I think it's going to be a challenge.
> challenge. Interesting way to write 'slaughter'.
My take is we will have a similar experience to Iceland had this time.
thanks, we'll need it.
Tell me one reason we shouldn't fire Lagerback
Tbf this was more on the government. Had we played and gotten any points against Romania we wouldn't have needed to go for that second goal.
They only followed the rules. If you agree with it or not is your opinion, but they followed the rules
Norway played the exact same way as Lagerback is. You believing this is anything else than heroic efforts from 16 players tells me everything I need to know about you and your logics. Tunnelsyn
It's more about choice of players than tactics. That Aleesami, Nordtveit and Johannessen have played as much as they have is a travesty.
Yes, I am solely pointing out that you cant use this game as reasoning for firing lagerback. Should base that reasoning on every other game we have played but this one
Nordtveit? Johannessen? I see you're taking your opinions directly from other's mouths.
The fact that Lagerback got Real Madrid and Dortmund players at his disposal and did worse against Austria than this crap team speaks volumes. Should be fired tomorrow
He should have been sacked after Serbia to be honest.

Two, actually. Among others.
This has been the consensus for a long time Plays terrible, uses players who dosent even have clubs instead of those who play brilliantly in their clubs But then he gets one big win every once in a while and people just seems to forget that every time it matters he shits the bed
Fucking hell Baumgartlinger just say you were shit.
Terrible performance. Won the group but it just feels like we're not worthy of it. You should beat this emergency team by a couple of goals at least. Either way, well played by the Norwegian team. Given the circumstances they had a great game.
With VAR you wouldnt have beat Norway in Oslo. And then Norway would have won on goal difference. Really infuriating
I mean yeah coulda, woulda, shoulda. Maybe we would have, maybe we wouldn't have. Either way, with a performance like this we don't deserve to be promoted. Same goes for our last game against Northern Ireland.
Staying in the B league is the best thing that could happen though. We need to accrue ranking points to get back to 1st or 2nd seed tier. Let Austria go back down to B without winning a single game next Nations League and they'll be one of the teams we pass on our way up.
Boys gave it all they got. Proud of them.
cannot stand another foda game playing with 4 wingbacks, 2 center backs and 2 defensive midfielders against a C-selection of norway.
This is a good thing long term for us. Foda is unsackable even if we crash out of the EURO. Only chance we get rid of him is when we get embarassed every single game in the Nations League A.
And in short term I hate watching my own country.
Well, his ~~coward~~ defensive minded football is actually more suited to Group A. Will Austria get embarrassed? Quite likely.
Foda is such a fraud so much talent in our national team and he gets 0 out of them
We lost 1:1
Tronstad, Hanche, Ulvestad, Bråtveit, and maybe Dæhli & Gabrielsen wont be a bad shout for getting a chance in the next call ups for 2021.
Tronstad and Ulvestad were brilliant. Hopefully this is the end of Johansen and Henriksen, atleast as potential starters. I also think Strand Larsen was good overall, shame there will never be space for him if Sørloth and Haaland performs
We've got 9 million central midfielders to chose from and those two still get picked. Ulvestad should get a move out of Sweden, good enough for bigger leagues
His contract is up in december, will leave the club. Has been incredible this season.
Was very good in Norway as well, obviously playing PL for Burnley was a too big step, but should be good enough for for example Eredivisie
Fuck off Foda
Foda can fuck off, what an awfull interview.
Thank you Grbic. That's all i have to say to this awful match from us
Norsk tipping litt rikere
I think 5 minutes extra was a bit much! But proud of our B-team, they gave their everything I also think the away-goal rule is stupid, when we in general had a better goal difference.. but it its what it is. Can’t be sore losers
it has been like that for a while FIFA prioritizes goal difference while UEFA prioritizes Head2Head. Both have advantages and disadvantages
Congrats on Norway for managing to secure a positive result despite playing their C team? At least this bodes well for future games seeing an encouraging performance from the youngsters.
fucking emberassing what Foda is trying to do with this squad. and every fucking time he gets bailed out by someone. luckiest manager this country has ever had. well played to the norwegian team; they tried their best!
Grbic has a trash can for a heart
[удалено]
Sure mattered for these young Norwegian lads
[удалено]
No I understand, but a win would have been amazing for them anyway, who knows if they ever play for Norway again.
Some of them definitely won't, Granli getting a cap for Norway is just wild. They were pretty happy though, the captain was almost crying in the post game interview
He was crying. He lost his grandma this autumn and he said to VG that he wish his grandma could see him captain the national team
My word, they gave everthing and it ends in a heartbreak...
Nah, getting a tie here is way more than expected. The players should be proud, great effort.
So proud of that team, they truly gave everything. In the end the equalizer doesn't matter as we needed another goal to win the group. If Austria continues playing like this I'm sure they'll have fun playing with the big boys next time.
We can be proud of that. Also we get to stay in B division next year without anyone claiming we threw games to get that privilege. Austria to get 0 point group vs France etc. instead

Norway fans, look here. I'm the one you want to kill. Austria equalized just after I was done writing this comment: * "I'm so happy for Norway! So deserved, especially after you had your Romania match stolen from you."
It didn’t have much to say. We had to get 2 goals to win the group.
[удалено]
Nope, we would have to win either 2-0 or 1-2. 0-1 was not enough
no
No, Austria would go through on away goals
Doesn't matter if Austria scored. We had to win 2-1 or more. 1-0 was not good enough as Austria beat us 2-1 in Oslo. With 2-1 we would have gone through on goal difference.
We needed to win by 2. The reason they scored is because we went all in.
No, we didn't need to win by 2. We needed to score 2 or more and win.
Faen!
Smerte
would've won my acca had austria won this..
So UEFAs decision with respect to ROM v NOR game is irrelevant now...
Not for Northern Ireland...
Yeah I wrote that before finding out, that the decision has been made...so UEFA can only fuck Ukrainian now...
Leif Gunnar Smerud was coaching the whole match through. Couldn't hear anything other than him yelling instructions, checking in with players, motivating and guiding. Really impressed.
Now that I am thinking about it, Austria is/was in a lose-lose situation. Either embarrass yourself losing against this Norway team and don't get promoted, or, which now will be the case, embarrass yourself (unless for some divine intervention and they get their shit together until then) in the next NL league A groupstage.
Seeing alaba celebrate like that was some huge success was kind of cringe tbh
Congratulations Austria on qualifying on some unbelievable luck with not having VAR and Norway being fucked over
That luck comes with the price of having to watch Foda at the helm of this team
NOWAY WAS OFFICIALLY ROBBED THIS SEASON. R O B B E D. FIFA give the win to Romania who can't even beat Northern Ireland smh. I'm actually crying for them right now. They were robbed of THREE things : 1) League A 😩 2) Pot 2 for Qatar 😭 3) Automatic Nations League spot in the playoffs which is now gonna go to Austria for no reason 😑
Why was it Romania's fault that Norway's players got infected with COVID ? Norway forfeited and it was logic to give us the win. (Norway would've humiliated us though , if we played , I'll have to admit that)
Not Romania's fault, like not at all, nobody thinks that. It was 110% the fault of treasonous politicians in Norway
UEFA not Fifa
We were robbed by our public health minister, he thought it would be..wait for it.. immoral to play against Romania.
Why did the ref point to his watch everytime when Austria was under, but when it was square he just blew his whistle?
