[Antarctic Monkey]

Cannot give the ball away 35 yards out when the other team has Harry Kane and/or Son up top.

 

[jono_t2000]

Defensively we looked more stretched then a re-usable condom. (Maybe Baldock should have started this one)

Overall still an enjoyable match, our passing for the most part going forward is fast and crisp and hitting its mark... plus with Dier on the field Tottenham have at least one defensive mistake waiting to happen.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Sits in, slows pace down, creates little, ridiculously slow. Norwood

 

[Lawrence]

Norwood!

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Well at least the rest of my afternoon is now freed up

 

[JackSUFC]

I’d rather have a half fit Sander Berge playing than this version of Norwood.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Can we agree not to play Norwood ever again? He makes so many mistakes every game, doesnt pass forward and never makes a tackle.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

There was a reason no other fucker took him to prem league before us.

 

[saw516]

I assume this is why Norwood was dropped and berge was in the middle at the start of the season. Problem is we don’t have another midfielder to play instead of Norwood at the moment

 

[Bertie Mee]

Other than passing a ball Norwood is fuckin shit. What does he have to do to get dropped? My bloods boiling.

 

[Drunk blade]

Sits in, slows pace down, creates little, ridiculously slow. Norwood

To be fair he's the only one whose created anything for us

 

[FredZeppelin]

Wilder needs to sub Norwood before he gets sent off now. A Liability. It's a good contest between him and Fleck as to who can be the most useless!
Baldock on, Bash into midfield.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Goodnight all

 

[CentralQuay]

There was a reason no other fucker took him to prem league before us.

You could say that about almost the whole team.

 

[Iceybabey]

Norwoods finished. Newcastle gave him all the time and space in the world and people fell for it. Today, Tottenham are bringing about some reality.

 

[essexblade73]

To be fair he's the only one whose created anything for us

He also has an assist for spuds

 

[Hull Blade]

Same old. Loads of ball. Nothing doing in the top third.
'Not good enough' Keith Edwards...'No **** sherlock'

 

[ATL Recs]

The ref played advantage cause we had the ball

Not sure that you can challenge and conspiracy theories on here

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Norwood off at half time for Brewster nothing to lose

 

[saw516]

I do find it funny how quickly everyone is forgetting that they were all crying out for Norwood to play when he was out of the team at the start of the season

 

[William Large]

Hendrie 'you feel like Sheff Utd are going to try and get back into this'. Thanks Lee, how much we paying you?

 

[CentralQuay]

Other than passing a ball Norwood is fuckin shit. What does he have to do to get dropped? My bloods boiling.

It's a myth he's good at passing.

Any competent professional player can look like they're good at passing in the position he plays.
Same easy passes every time, he never creates anything.

 

[saw516]

Lundstram currently looks like the only player in our team happy to have the ball at his feet and even he doesn’t look comfortable

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Pathetic half. Two gifted goals.

 

[YES Blade]

Jesus Christ! We are fucking pathetic!

 

[William Large]

Hendrie 'you feel that Spurs want to get in at half time at 2-0' Wow, you reckon Lee?

 

[HeySethUTB]

I assume this is why Norwood was dropped and berge was in the middle at the start of the season. Problem is we don’t have another midfielder to play instead of Norwood at the moment

Yeah I think the shear size of Berge makes it difficult to Nick the ball off of him as easily. Problem is we don’t have a midfielder to replace Lundstrum if he leaves this month, nevermind Norwood.

 

[BarcaBlade]

I do find it funny how quickly everyone is forgetting that they were all crying out for Norwood to play when he was out of the team at the start of the season

Are you sure they were the same people?

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Other than passing a ball Norwood is fuckin shit. What does he have to do to get dropped? My bloods boiling.

He has to be a part of a team with more than one player who can play his position

 

[Ernest]

Norwood and Stevens have become so ineffective.

This is so hard to watch.
