Well, finally an away win and a decent performance. My thoughts:

  • Best midfield display of the season. Thought McTominay was excellent aside from his error for the Norwich goal, Pereira I thought did well and Fred improved although still has the occasional major lapse in concentration
  • Rashford looked a different player for having Martial back in the team and moving out left. The interplay between those two is exciting and promising
  • Glad the two pen misses didn't cost us. Did anyone else just know they were both going to be saved?
  • Reasonably solid at the back but Ashley Young is a major liability defensively. I would have brought Williams on when Young got booked, if not earlier.
  • The Norwich goal annoyed me more than our goals excited me. At that point they were down to 9 fit outfielders, a central defender who couldn't move playing up front, and an injured goalkeeper. Once we conceded it looked like we were going to concede again. We need to keep clean sheets!
  • One win and now the table doesn't look so dire. We've got to back it up against Norwich.
