and we've done this with possession as well right?

 

I don't think that has been the type of game that we've typically had trouble with. It's not like we've had Norwich penned in and had to pick apart their defence - we've had plenty of space to work in. I guess scoring early helped as Norwich have been forced to take risks, but I also don't think it's really their style to stay deep and compact.

Williams appreciation post! He was superb again today, should've scored a goal as well. The longer he keeps Shaw out of the team, the better.

 

Yeah, Williams is a great find. He looks good in comparison to Shaw, who has been poor this season. Shaw doesn't run, doesn't get forward. That's supposed to be his strength. One of the problems we've had this season is that when we play with Shaw at left-back and the excellent Wan-Bissaka at right-back, we don't have a huge amount of attacking play coming from the crucial full-back positions. Williams has speed and energy, and gets forward effectively. His driving runs into the box have got us two penalties this season (it should be three) and he scored an important goal against Sheffield United. I'd make him first choice left-back, personally. 

 

Amazing miss today, though. :lol:

BT. 
 

Thought you’d win for sure tonight, but we’ve put out a strong team so not sure now. 

Thanks. Yeah, I’m never confident playing you lot. Should be a good game though.

Guaranteed we lose out on Bruno to Spurs because of how we do 'business' these days.

 If we do, I will be absolutely fuming. This deal should be done, dusted and announced by now.

 

I think it's hard to do business not out in the open to some degree, because the media knows a story about United will always sell more papers / get more clicks. I don't think the club help themselves, but I can see why they would feel the need to control the conversation rather than let any old nonsense be printed. Even so, I wish they didn't leak stuff and tried to keep stuff a secret until it's announced. They're not media masterminds, and I look at the way clubs like Dortmund and Liverpool conduct their dealings with no small amount of envy. Surely it just puts pressure on themselves and gives other clubs leverage - after all this noise, we will look like absolute twats if we don't sign Fernandes.
