'Too many times we gave it away too cheap'

Norwich City midfielder Pelle Mattsson says players need to show more responsibilty in possession if they are to improve their position in the Championship.

The Canaries are 14th following Saturday's 1-1 draw at Stoke City, a game in which they were outplayed for long periods.

"Too many times we gave it away too cheap. We did not do a great job of playing with the ball," the Dane told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"I don't think it's lack of confidence, we just have to take responsibility. Everybody has to look at themselves and think 'what can I do?'. If we all do that, we'll get somewhere."

Mattsson joined Norwich from Silkeborg in the summer - the first transfer of his career - in the wake of the deal which took Marcelino Nunez to East Anglia rivals Ipswich Town.

Saturday's game was his second for the club and he said: "It's a different intensity to what I'm used to. I don't have as much time on the ball that I had at my former club. There are some good moments and some bad moments but I'll keep progressing.

"There's a lot of physicality, it's just different but I love the English culture with the fans and how it gets the stadium going. I wear this badge with pride."

Mattsson has yet to find a permanent place to live but added: "When I'm at the club and on the training ground, I'm only thinking about football, that's where my head is. The apartment and stuff can come later."

Norwich face West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday as they look to end a run which has seen them lose all four home games in the league and cup so far this season.
