Superior today, well deserved victory. OK, they hit the bar, but we really could have scored 3 or 4 quite easily. The pressing today was so high, it gave them little time on the ball.
That's the first game under big Val where I've seen us really utilise the forward press effectively. He's preferred a less energetic press so far, but he obviously saw that it would work well against Norwich and it did. Today they were back at last seasons Struber levels, they got their triggers spot on and their angles just right.
I don't think it's possible. they provide so much of the defence from the front and expend so much energy that they are going to be rotated.
Very impressive high press today. If Norwich had 70% possession it was amongst their back 5. You Reds
