Christian Nørgaard

[Gash]

Can't say I'm expecting much from him because I haven't really seen him play much but he only missed 7 games last season with injury, he was mainly an unused sub, it's not like he was sitting in physio all season though.

So he featured 20 times in all competitions last season. Considering his competition, that’s ok in my book.

[TheRam]

I think the opposition and the type of games he played in has to be taken into account. It’s all on the same screen.

Wasn’t even trusted to come on for ten minutes in the premier league. Just over a hundred minutes with no injuries is awful.

Just saying, caution needed when saying he’s going to be a game changer.

[AjaxAndy]

Think he showed more than enough at Brentford to know he's a good player. Zero concerns here that he'll be anything but that here.

The injury timing is unfortunate as it kinda makes it look worse, but I don't think that sitting on a bench for a top 6 club for a year really makes much difference. I mean we've seen examples of that recently with players like George who never got a look in and to a certain degree KDH too by the end was also very much an unused option too. They're all professionals though and would've been putting in the effort in training so while maybe not match sharp are still fit.

I genuinely don't know how much he brings to the table though, that's TBD. We could possibly find out pretty quickly though if Mykolenko is out and Garner has to fill in at LB.

Don't think I've ever seen a slower player in the prem

[blueToffee]

Yeah, may have found out why he was never played last year.

If you're being kind hopefully he's just really still not 100% and not match fit, but how do you not see that in training?

Also given that we were 1 nil down...it was just never the right sub.

Certainly one of the worst cameos in recent memory though, gave away the free kick that lead to their 2nd and almost as bad just gave up any competitiveness in the middle so it was way too easy for them to see the game out. Felt like we never had even a little foothold in the game after that point.

[brap2]

Jaw dropping cameo, literally never want to see him play for us again he was that bad.

[TheRam]

Madness to sign him imo.

You can’t spend a year not playing proper competitive football at his age and expect to compete in the premier league.

Honestly thought he’d at least get his foot on the ball for a bit and break the play up today but good grief that was as bad as I’ve ever seen.

Why do we always do this?

[Cozzie]

Fuck me. Didn't even see the game but he sounds like an absolute bag of shite.

[Cods]

I expect his trajectory to go in the opposite direction to AMN this season.

[Cozzie]

He was probably as baffled as we all where being brought on at 1-0 when we needed a goal.

Can't make it up.

[Cods]

I think his control (and actually his finishing in training this last week or so) was one reason he was brought on.

He will be important directing our play rather than our CBs lobbing 50yard passes hoping to reach a target.

In comparison to Hackney, he plays a different game, Hackney was well protected at Middlesbrough, and Norgaard will do much of the protecting here.

He needed a few limited minutes as he's obviously going to be a starter, but far from ready.

I'm not writing him off after 15mins.

[Bluebridge]

It was a shockingly bad cameo, fuck knows why he was so bad, but he’s much much better than that.

[weimaranerblues]

I could understand the odd misplaced rusty pass , which we witnessed, but before that he had played a forward one to ( can't remember who ) and thought yeah , pick the ball up get his head up , no backpass / side ways . Hell do fine then all went down the shitter. If we are relying on him to defend or chase back we are gf cooked... After a turn over

What was him Moyes thinking
