Saints 2-0 Norwich - Match Thread

[CB Fry]

Game over

[OttawaSaint]

Phew, we get a sloppy one. That's do, sloppy can sometimes be fun... right Lord D?

[trousers]

Their keeper looks a bit dodgy...

[igsey]

ADAMS!

Love a scrappy one, delighted he managed to get it in.

Tino proving his worth again!

[obelisk]

Looked like Adams stopped an own goal going in before he managed to knock it in.

Slightly optimistic but, ok.

[Saint NL]

What was that finish? The sit and scoop 🤣

Ok, let's get another and put this game to bed

[moonraker]

Brilliant improvisation from Che

[OttawaSaint]

One thing I'd like to see us improve is our scoring rate from corners. I read somewhere that the average is something like 1 goal for every 11 to 12 corners. I feel like our rate is far below that, we get so many but rarely scored from them.

Great timing 👌

What's that chant Saints fans have going now? With Livramento at the end?

Jay Rod scored sitting I think it was Palace away in 2013/14.

Salisu yellow card too now

[trousers]

Stupid yellow for Salisu. Would he miss the cup game if he got a second yellow?

Greedy sod!

I may have cheated slightly....

Armstrong has been shit ffs, Djenepo should be playing.

[obelisk]

Saints biggest problem is Salisu trying to get a red card.

I'd like us to improve on our record of dropping points from winning positions. I'm really not sure how bad our record is in that regard as it never ever gets mentioned but my instincts tell me it must be quite bad.

I remember Ostenstadt scoring one on his arse too. 

 

Scrappy goal but they all count. 

 

Another drunk baby for luck.

Ralph needs to pull him off at half time 

[sfc4prem]

Is it just me or are the streams toilet tonight?

[Manuel]

First player to score whilst on his arse since Rodriguez?

[hypochondriac]

Norwich are the worst team I've seen all season but also we look bloody classy.

Anyone? Not the "it's magic" one, it's to the tune of the old Liverpool "we got the best midfield in the world" one.

Careful what you wish for. Our record for that was better under MoPe, Hughes etc. because we were very rarely leading. 

I get what you mean though although it's a flawed stat. If you are 1 up after 5 it's a bit different than blowing a 1-0 win in the 90th and 94th minutes, but this stat doesn't distinguish that.

I’d like to know too - it’s to the same tune as this one right?

[trousers]

Brain fart from Broja there. Not his best game

Not for me. Everton were worse IMO.

Broja not having his best game tonight 😳

Mines been perfect, don't know how that helps you but...

That's the one. Never heard that chant but that's brilliant.

[trousers]

Half time. Cruising. Hope we don't get too complacent

[obelisk]

Should have made it 2-0 right on half time there. Saints wasteful again.

[trousers]

If Norwich score tonight I'll burn my entire Chris de Burgh record collection

Needs a rest IMO, I fear the hype and pressure is going to his head slightly. Excellent when he pulls a shot off but he too often neglects the obvious passes and doesn't work for the team like Che does.

Get Schlong on at half time for goals, goals, goals!

[hackedoff]

This needless back passing bollox is really getting on my tits.

All about opinions but not for me. We were camped in Norwich's half for a large part of that half.

This, this and this 

[Dig Dig]

Walker-Peters is unreal 

[Mr X]

Good tenacity from Adams for the goal, if we can get an second then AA should be given a chance (which he has to take) to try and get off the mark, this elounousi much better than the old one!

It's almost as if recycling the ball is a cornerstone of Ralph's way of playing ...

Indeed. What more does he have to do to warrant an England call up? Nothing, surely?

[qwertyell]

1-0 HT. Wouldn't say we've been amazing, but relatively in control. Norwich are quite well organised and we haven't exactly had a high quality cutting edge - Broja's having a poor game, Elyounoussi's been wasteful.

We'll need a second. Norwich have looked fairly lively when they've been able to break.

Come on, kill this off early in the second half and start preparing for West Ham.

[ButtikonSaint]

Not a bad first half, think we can go up a gear and score a couple more in the second half...

agree with other chaps here, Broja could maybe do with a bit of a rest, get in AA or Shlong... KWP is a beast and Tino is not far behind... COYRRRRRRRRRRR

Play for Man Utd, Man City, or Chelsea.

It doesn't have to go all they way back to the keeper for that to happen.

I'm not a premier League manager nor player so I'll have to bow to your expertise on this matter.
