He was highly rated across Europe and some big clubs were said to be monitoring him at the time.
Whilst I agree with you why was he considered to be top drawer last season. I suppose I could ask that question of most of the team?
Will that be seen on pornhub?
Last season and 18/19 we played with a de facto midfield 5 with wingbacks and/or centre halves pushed on. That gave Norwood, Fleck and Duffy/Lundstram/Berge much less space to cover. This season, and probably since lockdown, it's been identified that pushing the wingbacks back into a defensive 5 exposes the midfield three. Pretty much every side we've played against has done that and all bar three of them have beaten us. It doesn't necessarily mean that Norwood has become worse, all it means is that the strengths to his game (mainly passing) are nullifies by the lack of options and the weaknesses (mobility, physicality, defensive awareness) are exacerbated.
I think we missed a trick and not switching to a 4-2-3-1 (or 4-2-2-1-1) formation..you could put legs alongside Norwood in the shape of Berge / Basham / Ampadu, the fullback can bomb on knowing there's cover in place, and more influential players such as Fleck would be higher up the park. You saw yesterday Fleck causes problems for opposition higher up the field (several runs from midfield were promising) and again he could play with the knowledge there's cover behind. JOC getting injured would knacker that plan as Egan aside no one else is strong enough at CB in a two.
yeah the only way i can see Norwood surviving is having a double pivot.
It would also ensure that when he does have the ball he's got someone to pass to, should be at least 4-6 players ahead of him. At the minute he gets the ball and there's not much else to do bar put it in the channels and see if Burke is willing to chase it
I don't disagree with you in it's current guise, but what about last season? Was it amateur then?
Toronto, for starters Berge would have ousted Norwood and if he was fit Norwood woldn't be playing. We'll get our money back on Berge at some point I'm sure as he's young and highly rated and we've seen how good he can be.
I see the logic but firstly Berge's injured. Basham has never played consistently well in midfield and the same for Ampadu also. We obviously need another body in there desperately, here's hoping for a loan from somewhere.
Yeah, for every “Norwood ping” there seems to be half a dozen needless fuck ups. I was a fan, but unfortunately his pros are now heavily outweighed by his cons.
I totatlly agree Luke, but my message was in response to Toronto's and his view that we'd not got absolutlely nothing and I'm pointing out that when Berge goes, whenever that is, that we'll be able to sell him on for at least what we paid him for. As you say, I hope he stays next season and he plays a pivatol part, but not so sure he'll want to stay though.
Norwood wont leave Blades he's another two years on his contract and no club will pay him anything like we are .We arnt big players but I cant see any other club paying him what we are.
Norwood is far from done because after 19 more league games will be in the Championship and we have seen how good he can be at that level.
They knew he isn't the finished article. If he was he'd cost more than what we paid for him and would want much higher wages. Time will tell how much Berge will leave us for, I think we'll make a profit when he goes.
His record in the championship makes him attractive to lots of competing championship clubs.3 promotions in 3 season's.
Really!!! After Covid !!
Really... Some clubs have big money backers who some of will have made money with the shut down
Not the worst premiership team yet 7 points is all we need I beleave we will get those and more .As for Berge I think your right he has a lot to prove ,I think we will have him next season! It's up to him to earn a mo ve to premiership he's not
