He seemed to be playing as "himself" today. He's taken a while to settle, and I think up to now he's tried to be very safe and almost scared to do what he does in case it doesn't come off (which I'd put down to pressure on expectation on his young shoulders).
Today he was much more confident and had the self belief that had been lacking. Some lovely little touches and movement of the ball in to space, while looking relaxed and casual. He also showed he is faster than a lot of players as opposed to quicker. He might not beat players over a couple of metres but his long legs can definitely win the sprints a la Usain Bolt.
Today will have done him the world of good and might even give Norwood a kick up the arse too
Literally thought that after seeing his delivery on the ground that curved into the box from that free kick.Must just be me that looks at the quality of delivery from Norwood when he gets in the wider positions on the right, and from free kicks out there as well, that thinks he‘d do well in that position if he and berge swapped over.
wonder what Olly thinks to that from CW?

Double pivot anyone?View attachment 84107
Not athletic enough and never runs with the ball.
It was good to see. Stronger, more involved, good on the ball.Thought he looked class today ,much sharper ,more aware of what was going on around ,used his physicality well and never wasted a pass
Hope this is the start of something special
You can suggest whatever you like.......Can i suggest that Berge hasnt been bad post lockdown, the difference today was the team around him looked more like themselves.
He was timid on the ball? Why do you think that?You can suggest whatever you like.......
Berge was timid, on and off the ball before today
I don't remember a single attempt at a forward run/dribble and 90% of his passing was 5 yards backwards. Today it felt like he took responsibility for at least trying to make things happenHe was timid on the ball? Why do you think that?
I mean, that's just factually wrongI don't remember a single attempt at a forward run/dribble and 90% of his passing was 5 yards backwards. Today it felt like he took responsibility for at least trying to make things happen

it’s been disappointing to see “ some “ of our fans writing him off this early into his careerHis attitude was spot on today too.
He was leading us and taking risks by closing Arsenal down at the top of the field. He covers ground over long distances quite quickly, it's in tight spaces where he looks a little immobile - this is what he needs to work on in pre-season, but it also suggests he needs to be playing deep with space in front of him.
There is definitely a very good player in there that we can work with. And lads, he's 21.
It's been so disappointing to see our fans writing him off this early into his career.
Made the most dribbles and 2nd most forwards passes for us whilst on the pitch
He was a dynamic forward presence. Driving the game forward with searching passes and super, focused running with the ball was he?
No. He was lackadaisical in possession, weak in the tackle and looked genuinely lost. He didn't really provide any positive contributions beyond a few sharp, short passes.
Today was hugely encouraging, the previous approximately 400 minutes he'd played we much less so
I thought as much when we signed him.Wilder said in his post match that he’ll move to the deep midfield role as time goes on. Obviously the long term replacement for Norwood.
Played well today.
Are you talking about today? The game where I said he played well??Made the most dribbles and 2nd most forwards passes for us whilst on the pitch

Played well today.
Or the plan is to play with two deep midfielders? Norwood has only just signed a new deal.
This forum makes me laugh. Before today Berge was 20 odd million down the toilet, and now he is the future!
Kind of having a gloat as I have been saying for weeks that for better or worse it is too early to judge him....and it still is...Don't tar everyone with the same brush![]()
