Not true though. Cantwel and Pukki scored 17 between them in the Prem last season United as a whole have only scored 16 goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honourable mention for Urhoghide again. Needs more time but is improving game by game. Shame we're giving him away at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLERTON GHOST Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Turning point in the game ... Ball went out for a Wednesday throw adjacent to Norwich 18 yard box on the south ... Palmer took it Reach and Bannan faffed then 8 passes later unchallenged it's back at Westwood ......post clearance Norwich go and equalise .... We were on the edge of their box FFS ...... Teams must love playing against these tactics ...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be fighting to keep the likes of him and build a team with like minded youngsters. Clear out needed. But hey only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning point was when we came out 2nd half , same at Luton , capitulate under any sustained pressure , mentally weak players and most not good enough for this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Our first half performance was really impressive: Rhodes and Windass were great at closing down Norwich and putting them under pressure, and I thought our goal epitomised a lot of what was good about them as a pairing: Windass' energy and pace getting in behind led to the free-kick and Rhodes' poacher's instinct saw us take the lead. Pelupessy was really good today, too - he covered a lot of ground, cut off passing channels, and put in a few strong tackles. His passing was impressive, too - nothing fancy, but he helped us retain possession and build attacks effectively. In the second half, we predictably came under the cosh, but it's so frustrating that two of our better players on the day were culpable in the final reckoning. Firstly, Windass failed to pick out a simple pass to Pelupessy after good work to carve out the opening in the first place, and then got robbed in midfield when trying to break away, which eventually led to their second goal. Secondly, Pelupessy dived in and compounded the danger caused by Windass' error, leaving Cantwell with acres of space from which to pick his spot. I thought Norwich targeted Urhoghide to good effect in the second half, and for each goal he was caught out of position as they took advatnage to score from his side of the penalty box. Overall, it was a decent display with lots of positives, but once again we've come up short where it matters and we look more and more like relegation certainties with each passing week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
