The Premier League is a harsh learning school and Daniel Farke knows his Norwich team must shape up quickly away from home if the season is not to become one of desperate struggle.

Seven days after their sensational win over Manchester City at Carrow Road, they were convincingly beaten 2-0 by Burnley.​

It was a third defeat out of three on the road, with eight goals conceded and only one scored. Throw in a loss at League Two Crawley Town and the temptation is to suggest the Canaries have a problem as soon as they leave Norfolk. Perhaps it is for the varying tests at every top-flight venue that Norwich’s lack of experience will really hit home.

Of the outfield players who started at Turf Moor, all bar captain Alex Tettey and right-back Sam ­Byram are playing in the Premier League for the first time this season. While Todd Cantwell, Ben Godfrey and Jamal Lewis, all key figures in their Championship success last season, are still only 21 and very much learning the ropes. So with Tettey limping off early, Farke was right to point to a lack of leaders on the field as they tried to ­recover from Chris Wood’s two early goals which decided the game.​
