Frederick's is a frustration. He started to play well once we were 3-0 up. He has great pace, and needs to use it more often going forward just as he did for his assist for the last goal. He seems to lack confidence though, panics on the ball and rarely takes on a player. Hopefully he can push on now.
There was one time we burst into the box & I am sure it cut to the managers
At one point they showed a replay of Antonio’s backheel to Bowen, and as they showed it for the fourth time the commentators were talking about Norwich breaking
I've watched three of the games since the restart; Wolves, Spurs and Burnley. The three games I haven't watched...
I can't comment on the game as I didn't see it, but I'm really pleased with the result, obviously. Were we that good, or were Norwich that bad?
Hopefully that's enough points already, because we've got some tough games left. Watford and Villa will be scrapping for points, and Man U still have a chance at the Champions League.
Both. We created a lot, we never really looked in trouble, and we were in total control. Norwich didn’t have much time offer, but I do think our play made them worse still. It’s one thing being left space, it’s another to use it.
Hopefully we'll take that form into the last three games. A win against Watford should mean we can relax a bit going into the last couple of games, assuming Bournemouth and Villa's form doesn't pick up.
Feel I owe Marky Mark an apology; I was under-chuffed and full of chunter when I realised he was starting, , but I thought he played well, and his passing was excellent.
I thought Noble was very good & that was a very good call by Moyes. I was not impressed with the original line-up. He obvs trusted him to lead that team to the needed 3 points. Bowen was excellent & Antonio, outstanding.
Imagine if we could convert Antonio into a proper striker. What a player he could be & an extra 10 goals a season.
Managed to avoid seeing the result and watched the game last night. Great effort from the players although Norwich were dire and offered no resistance. I don’t believe the match stats that had Norwich with 53% possession. Plus the added bonus of a clean sheet - haven’t seen much of that this season. Antonio and Noble were immense although I thought they should have both come off after 60 minutes once the game was safe. Noble especially looked really tired and started to be less effective. Poor player management from Moyes IMO with important games coming up. I liked how Soucek was getting into some useful positions. I can see him picking up quite a few goals. Diop and Fornals seem to give the ball away too frequently. I would really like to see Fornals on the bench in the next game.

That is surely meant as a joke, unless he meant de Bruyne in 15 years time.

It never seems to work unless they add some steel to their play
Norwich didnt invest in the summer, which has resulted in their relegation....but it also puts them in a strong position financially
They didnt go mad spending, so they have just had the highest revenue ever without expenditure going up
Means they wont sell their better players on the cheap
