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

I think it’s the “whoa whoa whoa, he’s magic, you know………Tino Livramento”

Cambiasso had a similar one way back.

Edit, sorry, just read you said not that one

Play for Man Utd, Man City, or Chelsea.

Ah... Good point, well made....

In all seriousness, surely there are no better English full backs than KWP and Tino this season...?

[adrian lord]

Not the greatest game so far but we’re winning.

[TWar]

KWP and Tino have been class, Broja has been a bit off it unfortunately.

We are shooting all the time, wonder if it's because we think Gunn is shite.

Put that question to Mr Southgate.

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

Find some mates to injure Walker, Trent Alexander, Reese James, Wan-Bissaka, Lamptey, and hope Trippier doesn't recover too quickly.

On top of all that Tino is in front of him at Saints.

Ridiculous, he stands more chance at Left Back.

I still can't see him as a tank commander heading into Bosnia.

We'll need a second.

I honestly don't think we do. Can't see Norwich scoring at all. That said, they might sneak a freaky one so, on reflection, I agree with you!!

Reese James was ridiculously good this season before he got injured. Trent AA is also ridiculously good. Walker is superb if a bit limited going forward. At left back though, we are nowhere near as strong.

From BBC:

Norwich have lost 50 of the last 51 Premier League games in which they have trailed at half-time, drawing the other 1-1 against Everton in December 2015.

Good job Saints aren't masters at assisting other teams to break such bad records... Oh...

[Saint_clark]

I think Perraud should come on for either KWP or Tino to stretch them more. Probably for KWP to rest him for Wet Spam.

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

Scott Joplin's The Entertainer, if it is the same one.

[HKsaint]

What if Adams has a good header

[Saint_clark]

Brojas fucking shit, if he can't even score against Norwich then no way should we be trying to sign him. Send him back at full time.

[igsey]

I get a little bit sad every time Tino has a chance to bomb forward and instead turns around and passes it backwards.

Excellent distraction tactics from Ralph to be fair.... Keep him out of the limelight for the rest of the season and he's all ours...

Coached that attacking nonsense right out of him.

[badgerx16]

Forster's long kicks seem to be too low.

[Saint_clark]

Salisu and Bednarek both run away from the ball for some reason, leaving it for Pukki.

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.

Just had our 11th corner of the game so we're guaranteed to score from the next one!

[Saint_clark]

Said it last game and I'll say it again. 

KWP is a better Nathan Redmond than Nathan Redmond.

Even though he's been in the opponent's 3rd many times this game? 

[Victor]

This team's squad numbers add up to 207.

 

Just saying.

[Saint_clark]

Aarons faking an injury to try and give Norwich a tactical time out.

[nta786]

Max Aarons is down. Quick lads take a gel pack.

[stknowle]

Get Long on, gotta get the 2nd goal to seal this.

[trousers]

Time for one of these to shake things up a bit...

 

[BotleySaint]

Frustrating game so far. All this passing but not much to show for it. Time to make some subs.

[manji]

I’m bored, the crowd are bored, Ralph’s bored. Maybe that’s why we havnt needed the gel we havnt used any energy.

Armstrong been very quiet most of the game. 

[OttawaSaint]

Too many touches Moi!

[obelisk]

Everything is hitting Gunn. Crazy that it's still only 1-0.

[OttawaSaint]

Great volley KWP. Where was this Gunn vs Leicester that night?

[trousers]

Saints in danger of going up a gear here....

[Manuel]

We should sign this Gunn character 

[nta786]

Bryan Gunn’s glasses looking all funny.

[OttawaSaint]

Perhaps get that baby shark Gunn song going to trigger him...

[Sheaf Saint]

Not sure how this is still only 1-0.

[igsey]

He's been great this season but Elyounoussi has missed too many chances tonight. Get him off.

Only if we can guarantee that the opposition shoot straight at him...

Brojas not even trying. Needs to come off, and possibly be dropped for the next game.

We can't take off everyone who has missed chances tonight - we're only allowed 3 subs!

Tend to agree. A little bit of complacency slipping into his game maybe

Very true!

I'd bring AArmstrong and Djenepo on for Ely and Broja. If they can't take their chance in 20 minutes against the worst team in the league then they are going to struggle here in the future.

Seems a bit of an ego. Probably sulking as he's not scored and barely had a sniff.

[Saint_clark]

Definitely the feeling I get. He's not helping at all with the pressing.

[trousers]

I'm trying to work out why this game has largely passed Armstrong by. Down to the way we're playing or something to do with Norwich snuffing him out?
