Crossfield pass into acres of space where Manning should be defending, he blocks the cross and turns around to moan at Aribo on the far side for not blocking the pass I guess 😂 defend your position you muppet.

Looks like Martin is asking why the challenge wasn't a red. Argument to be made there.

Edozies fucked.

Really bad challenge on Edozie there.

You mean the player being offside? Not sure why that's lucky. You're trying to say they look more likely to score than us and it just isn't true.

That was weird.

Just refresh it should still work.

Interesting way of spinning it. Norwich have had "two dangerous breaks" with only one shot on goal, which was miles away. Saints have had "no real chances" but have had five shots on goal.

I meant more the fact that there's barely even any effort to win the ball back. It must be 80% possession for us so far.

Aribo looked like he'd never headed a ball in his life there 😂

Surprised how timid the Norwich crowd are being, I'd be hating every second of this.

Good move there, hold up play from Arma was good and Sarma should have done better.

Doesn't a goal kick have to go forward? The keeper just passed it backwards then. I thought it was one of those really obscure/hardly referenced rules that it has to go forward.

Manning piss poor down the left already.

Looking like three at the back to me.

Wouldn't say that, just seems so unnecessary.

Blokes obsessed with Stephens and Manning.

Happy new year all. (Edited, was a bit harsh 😂)

Bazunu save percentage 65.1% in a league where Adam Armstrong is a prolific goalscorer. Ederson similar in a league where Kane and Haaland are prolific.

That pass wasn't across the goal area, it was directly to the keeper. And if we're going to avoid passing it around the box because of the dangers that presents well then that makes a fucking mockery of carrying on with a keeper who is weak at the traditional basics of keeping but good with his feet.

He didn't, surely? We've picked a goalkeeper based on his ability to control and pass the ball especially under pressure and he doesn't want his defenders passing to him?

Young talent mixed with experience is the way to go no doubt, but keeper should always be one of the experienced ones.

"How's that for honesty" Yeah, we get it, you're too cool to talk to the prime minister.

I will admit and have in the past that I have no doubt Bazunu will be a top keeper, in fact I think he'll reach a level that we wouldn't be able to sign him if we hadn't signed him young. But once he gets to that point he'll be off to another side anyway, so why the hell should we spend years developing a keeper, putting up with poor performances and tons of mistakes for the first year or two at least, just to ship him off elsewhere for another club to reap the rewards once he actually reaches that level? And then probably start the process all over again with another young keeper who we need to accept will make mistakes consistently for 2-3 seasons.
