He looks like a snot nosed cocky kid at school, but that’s sod all to do with him playing football.

He’s not a bad keeper and has done fine for us.

More match experience and I think he’ll be good. If we weren’t in the **** this season I’d say play him for the rest of the season.

Very unlucky keeper. Don’t think he makes any more mistakes than Pope but never catches us on a clean sheet day.

I think Farrell what's his name is pretty bobbins if Pope is injured for the next game I'd give Norris a turn.

he's only 24, years of development and improvement to come.
it must be very difficult to stay match-sharp as a 2nd choice GK.
For what it's worth I think he's fine.

I feel the club may already be auditioning BPF with a view to selling Pope next season to raise a major part of the funds to bring in new players

He's had a baptism of fire, but hopefully he is level headed enough to ignore the carpet fitters and IT support workers of this world and makes a good career for himself

Not in anyway reason to judge him. But he doesn’t look like a professional premier league goalkeeper to me.

All the other players on the pitch on both sides look like physical, professional athletes.

Even McNeil looks older and more physical than him.

Reminds me a bit of ramsdale.

Did make a few good stops though.

He's shaky and makes mistakes.

Pope slotted right in, this lad looks nervous and a liability.

I think he's decent but seems a bit weak at the near post at times. Conceded a few for Northern Ireland that you'd hope he'd save.

He looks pretty confident and that is essential. He is developing with BM and has 2 good keepers for healthy competition. I don't think we can fault our Goalkeeping department over the past several years.

He came out technically 100% correctly getting a full stance and chest ,stood his ground making zero contact , then Rashford threw himself to the floor after forcing contact .

As for the deflection , you’re either fishing or having a nervous breakdown

Don’t know how anyone saw him being nervous!!! He looks similar to Pope when he came in. Made a few very good saves and I’m sure he can mature into another excellent keeper. He’s somewhere between Pope and Heaton in terms of style with less height and catching ability than Pope but a slightly more athletic style like heaton. There was a brilliant save against rashford in the first half and a good save on a one on one second half.
