Norwood

[Bruce Wayne]

I could have sworn that was David Silva out there. Brilliant by the new skipper and not bad from the old one.

Really, Shoutbox talked him down loads.

From what I just watched he was ace.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Norwood was good all match whereas most only showed up for 15 minutes at the end.

Stevens is clearly premier league.

Shoutbox = sandyvaginas. Much more enjoyable to watch the match without those prissy tossers.

Don't think he had the best game with some of his passing, but I'll 100% reserve judgement for a match where it's not blowing 80mph hurricane force winds by the seaside. Actually thought he broke their play up quite well though and hardly embarrassed himself.

At the end Ollie was whipping some quality balls in, he wasn't in the game enough before that to be fair.

 

[FriethBlade]

My worry about Norwood is he wont prove to be either athletic enough or physical enough for the premiership. Hope I'm wrong but I think that's why his previous 2 clubs didnt give him a.chance. No doubting his pinging ability but it could just as easily.be Norwood that Besic replaces as Lunny.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Didn't have his best game distribution wise but , as usual , protected the back 3 impeccably .

Hold on a minute people on here been saying he dunt do that.

Ollie? Really?

I (yes me) actually thought Lundstram was better than him. He had a particularly icky first half.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Watched the game live. Norwood was ok, not great. What impressed me most was our shape. Our defensive shape was excellent.

Hold on, when I posted my thoughts on Norwood which coincidentally agree with your post I was called all sorts of names. Unless Norwood can up his ping in the prem, come on he was bad in the pinging department today..

 

[true99blade]

Honestly think Norwood and Fleck were pretty quiet all game and weren’t at their best. Who fucking cares though.

Stevens is the most improved player in the history of football!

 

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

Think about it, we started with our Championship team apart from Robinson. Sorry I am a bit giddy at the moment, am I wrong?

 

[Antonb]

stevens was brilliant, my MOTM, followed by egan

Aki, whats an icky

Less than great

 

[Greenblades]

Stevens was outstanding today and was the MOTM for me. All the team deserve huge credit and the togetherness we had last year is still there despite the “Duffy” situation. Brilliant to see and will give everyone great confidence. Fraser should also have seen red and how the ref missed the bad tackle on Norwood I don’t know.

Went through and stuck his studs on Norwoods ankle, red for me but who am I to argue with VAR.

 

[S40BLADE]

The man has nothing to prove to the fans yet gets nit picked more than any other player in the squad dread to see what happens if he actually puts in a bad performance. And yet again played the second to last pass before the goal and along with "lunneh" have to say put in a good defensive shift also. Not to bad for a meh 6/10 performance.

 

[PokerBlade]

Norwood wasted some good crossing opportunities but otherwise had a decent game. Not outstanding (only Robinson was imo) but plenty good enough.

 

[bonnet de douche]

Norwood did enough..Lundstram is limited..we all know that....end of the day ..it's a great drive home ...and a great point gained...

I wasn’t sure how bad that was at first glance, but I’m certain that if the ref sent him off, VAR wouldn’t have saved him.

[jono_t2000]

I been big on Norwood and doubtful about Lunny all last season. but honestly this match seemed to pass Norwood by and Lunny contributed more imho.

As captain want to see him grab the game by the scruff of the neck more going forwards.

 

[Bladesman98]

I actually thought Norwood played well. Seemed to play in a deeper role, was always available in space when we were under pressure and distributed the ball fairly well. Gave us some composure which was needed.

 

[Bladezz]

He will improve. The players must have been so nervous stepping out for there first premier league game. All of our players will grow into this league.
