Norwood's not good enough for a league he's made over 200 appearances in? Absolute bollocks.

Do you remember on here around the time of Poyet/ Garcia/ there was this big desire to play 4-4-2 and get a bit more direct. It's largely been proven right. But I'll say now what I said then. We need to play a formation that suits the personnel we have available and the opposition. In the same...
