I wouldn't take a point now if you offered it me, I think we should go there and try to win. It won't be easy though, Norwich are good at home usually and you never know if we'll have a lapse of concentration just like against Sunderland.
 
There's some slight differences of opinion about our line-up, but (depending on fitness) it probably won't be too far off this:

Ruddy

R.Martin - Turner - Bassong - Olsson

Snodgrass - Johnson - Fer - Redmond

Elmander

The Wolf​



Possibly swap Ryan Bennett for Turner and/or Whittaker for Martin.
 
TBH I would be happy with a draw but we should be going to win this. Wolfwinkel looks good, also has a great name. Hoping Lovren can keep him quiet.

Is it too early to be discussing team? Is this the new match thread? if so......... WHERE ARE THE COLOURS!
 
Tough one to predict, Van Whatshisname doesn't really seem to add much to the game, if we can keep the ball away from him then I don't really see them as a big attacking threat.

And there's no Clattenberg this time to provide an attacking threat for them. :smile:
 
Hoping for a 6-5 Saints win as I have Snodgrass, Rodriguez, Lallana and Schneiderlin in my FF team!

It'll be a draw, we drew both games against Norwich last year and despite the cup results, none of ur attacks are great. 1-1.

Really? I quietly admire a great deal of your attacking players:
  • Lambert
  • Rodriguez
  • Osvaldo
  • Lallana
  • Ramirez
  • Ward-Prowse


There's goals in them there players!

I think he was aiming it at your attackers not ours, not sure he quite got the grammar right though. I like RVW but I must admit no one else in your attack/attacking midfield frightens me.

Ah yes, sorry I misread the post. Yes, I'd have to agree that overall you have better attacking players than us. we do have players in the midfield that are very capable of scoring goals though (Snoddy, Pilks, Redmond, Howson).
 
I just tried to come up with an attempt at a (as unbiased as I could be) combined Canaries/Saints XI and this is what I got:

Ruddy

Clyne - Lovren - Bassong - Shaw

Wanyama - Fer

Snodgrass - Osvaldo - Lallana

The Wolf​

5 Canaries
6 Saints

Here's mine:

Boruc

Clyne - Lovren - Yoshida - Shaw

Wanyama - Schneiderlin

Ward-Prowse - Ramirez

Osvaldo - Lambert​

Sounds about right.:D
 
I think Saints will have a good chance of winning this...as I think we will have a good chance against most teams. We are very strong in attack and play entertaining football. Nothing is ever certain though because we seem to create a lot of chances without scoring many in some games. Think we should win 2.1 or 2.0.

I'll have you know I carefully weighed up all the strengths and weaknesses of both teams players.

Then I decided Saints were miles better and picked them.

If it makes you feel better, I've thought of a bench aswell: Ruddy, Bassong, Fer, Snodgrass, Wolfpenis.
