Post-match discussion


Sat, 11 January 2020

Miles better, albeit against poor opposition.

Matic and Fred looking like a proper double pivot, playing quick balls forward.

The best thing is it gives our FBs so much license to get forward.

Unfortunately AWB just looks lost when he gets past the halfway line.

I would love to see Williams given a go out on the right, giving us some real width without needing to cut inside every time.

We could do with an 18 yr old Shaw to do the same on the left. Get him in the gym Ole!

Also, with this double pivot, and width provided by the fullbacks, Mata is a good option for the right hand side of the 3. He gets crowded out in the middle, but finds pockets when attacking from the right. Had a great game!

Its gotta be Mata or Greenwood and no-one else out right... and what a finish again from the boy!

Great passing out from the back from Victor today too.

Pogba in for Perreira in a free role and it would look something like a decent team.
 
Comfortable, and an enjoyable watch. I know we have Liverpool next but we have to put a run of form together very soon to salvage something from the season. Great to see so many teens play
 
This is how we should be dispatching bottom 10 sides each week.
 
The day we score 5 and a player gets a hat trick is the day the curse has been lifted.
 
Very enjoyable. Attacking play with lots of movement. Only negative was the idiots singing at O.T.
 
Some very good performances and good team performance overall.

Greenwood’s ball striking is unbelievable for his age. Going to be some player.
 
It's got to the point where I expect Rashford to score in every game, he's looking that likely now which is brilliant to see.

Overall job done, as easy as it should have been.
 
Easy win, good performance. Need a lot more of these against the bottom clubs, no reason why we can't do it more often.
 
Just don't understand this United team. From one week to the next you never know what you are gonna get.
 
Everyone looked good because it's Norwich, but who cares? I enjoyed that, which is a nice change.
 
Enjoyable game, everyone played decent with a few playing very well. Mata matic rashford Williams all excellent. maintained the 1 -2 touch passing most of the game. Norwich are poor so dont get too excited but a nice comfortable win.
 
No Lingard no problem. Man of the match Lingard. For not playing. Addition by subtraction.
Yes it was only Norwich but we really cant compensate for Lingard. We are a decent team without him. Not perfect but decent. If he played they would have had more chances and our attack wouldnt be as tidy. 100 %.
 
The big tests will come when we play the big teams. Unless we beat them. In which case the big tests will come when we play the smaller teams. Unless we beat them.
 
Mata is key when playing against these shite teams. I wouldn't expect him to start against any of the top 6 but he should be the first name on the team sheet against the rest of the league. He might not be fast but he makes up for it with good movement, smart play and good delivery...
 
Really enjoyed that! Can't remember the last time I said that, shame we can't play Norwich every week.
 
Great performance as a team, with several players having standout games. Williams has really impressed me and should be starting in most games ahead of Shaw. Mata was very useful, as well. MOTM was Rashford. Looked really up for it and confident, especially in that first half.
 
Great game overall.

I am worried about Dan James. He runs a lot, and is super-dedicated, but not only his skills have not developed, he seems to have . regressed skills-wise. In the beginning of the season he scored some goals, made some assists. Now - nothing. His crosses reach nobody and he is no threat for a goal.

You can say that every one of our other attackers have improved this season, why is Dan stalling/regressing? Literally, the only reason he's still liked because he has dedication and energy out the wazoo, but it's hard to overlook that his technical abilities are bad. He needs help of some kind.
 
Enjoyed that!

Relieved to see us bounce back. Could barely find a bad performance out there.
Very good team performance I thought.
 
Rashford and Martial can score goals. Greenwood is special. What did we learn?

Not much in my opinion. Norwich is the weakest team in the league defensively, and the amount of time we were afforded on the ball was crazy. I mean they made Mata and Matic look good.

Nice to score some goals though.
