Ollie Norwood

[INTERUNITED]

He was fucking reight good.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

He was. Some of those passes were sublime.

 

[Harry's Game]

My MOTM.

 

[dc_blade]

I've been his biggest fan since he arrived, but I didn't think he was quite at his best today, funnily enough. We seemed to play a bit more direct than usual and Norwood wasn't receiving it off the back three and starting attacks like he usually does. He was sloppy in possession once or twice, too.

But his vision and long-range passing are out of this world. Don't think he got an assist today but he really made three of the goals.

 

[Superblades]

He really is a different class altogether. To think the majority of us lost our shit when we let Leonard and Evans go only to replace them with Norwood. Different gravy

 

[WhiteHawk]

That pass that lead to the 4th goal was incredible.

I guess if someone had said lets swap Evans and Leonard for Norwood most might have said not a good deal but NOW not a contest ! Great business by CW

 

[TCsLoveChild]

He’s fantastic every game. Bargain of the century as far as I’m concerned. UTB

think this must of been the tactics. we knocked it over the top a lot and had their centre half running forward their own goal.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Absolutely love Norwood, apart from the Birmingham game where he was out of sorts, he's been quality. I could just watch him strike balls all day. The one with the outside of his right to Enda in the lead up to the 4th was exquisite.

Really? Evans was shite and Leonard was versatile but limited. I knew nothing of Norwood but wasn’t upset to see either of them leave.

 

[100% part time blade]

His incisive passing and vision to get us on the attack are great. He is undoubtedly one of our best signings of recent years. If he was perfect, I think he would also provide better protection in front of the defence. Maybe that’s why he’s not playing in the premier league, yet.
I also love how he looks to score: there’s no way he should have got anywhere near scoring from the free kick 10 yards from the corner flag, but it looked like the keeper was beaten and only an outstretched defender’s leg kept him off the scoresheet.

 

[JohnDenver]

That pass that lead to the 4th goal was incredible.

The spin on the ball completely baffled the defender and allowed our player to run onto it. It was like Norwood was flying a drone - landed as if by a pilot.

 

[Blade58]

That pass that lead to the 4th goal was incredible.

From the kop I was right behind that deft, weighted ball with the outside of his foot

Just one word to describe that ball and the player in general ................................class!

 

[Blade82]

Any player who forces coutts to sit on the bench has to be fucking class and that’s what he is

 

[Beans]

I could just watch him strike balls all day.

My word.

 

[KingKeith]

When we signed him I thought we were getting a consistent 7/10 every week midfielder, and I was chuffed with it. But he’s so much better, a 7/10 for him is a poor game. No coincidence promoted last 2 seasons.

 

[WalkelyFan]

He undoubtedly made some good passes today and the one that led to Sharp's second goal was a thing of real beauty. He was particularly hampered in the first half because whichever of their two front players landed nearest marked him closely until the danger of a long highly accurate pass (e.g to flying full-backs) had gone. But gradually those front two lost concentration and energy and then Powell (?) was taken off and the rest because history.

 

[ForgeBlade]

He's golddust...I thought he was below his standards on Tuesday...but he was right back on it today. Pure class he is...amazed we managed to sign him to be honest. £2m (if that's what the fee is) is a bargain in the current market.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Clearly we are wrong................................

He's proper shit at his job.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

He is already one of my favourite Sheffield United players of recent times. Purely because he’s exactly what we’ve lacked for so long.

Incisive passes, set piece dream, hard worker, shows commitment every time I’ve seen him...can’t ask more from the lad love him

i described it ss “jesus what a fucking pass’ at the time

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Norwood has been the absolute difference for us. His assists must be in double figures by now.

He's a class act and really enjoy watching him play. Proper footballer.

 

[BigBed]

Fleck??

 

[Almosthuman]

This will be his 3rd promotion to prem in 3 seasons with 3 different teams(fingers crossed) gotta be some kind of record?

 

[PittsburghBlade]

One of the purest footballers I've seen in the red and white. Not as prolific as Michael Brown was in THAT season but his influence, leadership and quality has had a similar effect on elevating the whole level of the team.

 

[Blade56]

This will be his 3rd promotion to prem in 3 seasons with 3 different teams(fingers crossed) gotta be some kind of record?

But he's never played in PL has he?

The Clarence Seedorf of the Championship... Sort of

 

[Fulwood Blade]

But he's never played in PL has he?

What happens if he is a better player in the Prem than the Championship?

Can he step up?

No one knows yet - hopefully we'll find out, but do you not think he is deserving of that chance? Same applies to Fleck.

UTB

At the risk of playing devils advocate, I do wonder why the other teams whom he's got promoted have ditched him?
