United 1 Norwich 0 -report

[metalblade]

Back to the McBurnie hating I see, Ok he headed the early chance at the keeper and 2nd should have took an early shot as he was getting crowded out but for me he worked his bollocks off, won just about every header and held the ball up well at times. No mention of how he attracted the defenders to him leaving Billy unmarked to score from a free header.

I thought McBurnie wasn't at his best yesterday, although his performance probably merited a point more (6.5) imo and I don't think the ref did him too many favours. It seemed to be a case the Norwich defenders could plough straight through him (this seemed a general rule for Norwich on us but McB seemed to cop for most), however when the boot was on the other foot, their play acting little prima-donnas threw themselves to the ground at the merest touch and the ref fell for it most of the time. I have to add Norwich weren't in the same league as Bournemouth for this (or the Norwich of two years ago).

Love to see United grind out the results, similar v West Ham and Bournemouth, it's the sign of a good team.

Don't like Norwich, Villa, West Ham or Bournemouth. Shame 4 can't go down,

Another enjoyable game between two good footballing sides. Tough now for Norwich to stay up but if they do go down , probably the best side to do so in recent years.

Don't see how they can be classed as one of the best sides to go down, it's all nice and pretty when I've watched them on the box but they've only scored 6 goals away from home, so that must be one of the reason's why.

If that was a five out of ten for McB yesterday then I despair !

Thought McB was excellent. Ran his blood to water and a perfect foil for other players. Now if he could just score a few goals. Never been a real goalscorer but gives a lot to the team. Plus he's still only 23.
