    On the replay, both Livramento and Djenepo looked to be offside. I could be wrong, and I probably am.

    As a wider issue, I suspect that this is part of Ralph's Master Plan: Keep the ball press hard, but don't actually score, so we don't have a lead to defend. So far, so good, but the next phase is to score the only goal with about 30 seconds left, so we can't revert to our defensive approach.

    I can be disappointed with Djenepo's finishing but he is making things happen and getting into the right positions.

    The balance looks good.

    Yes Walcott doesn’t get in those positions at all

    Which, as a Saints fan, concerns me for the second half.

    Worry we can't keep this pace up. Need a goal while on top

    Maybe the trick is not to go ahead in the first half.

    With Toon fans, the game doesn't have any shades of grey - It's all Black and White. I've got my coat...

    Moi looks a different player! Finding space, moving the ball quickly and not shying away from possession.
