Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino says the strike-partnership of Ricki Lambert and Pablo Daniel Osvaldo will take time to gel.

The pair started together in defeat at Norwich City.

"It's normal that they weren't able to link up well," Pochettino said. "It takes time for a player to gel, to get into a squad.

"It's their first game together and he (Osvaldo) needs time, he needs effort, to actually start to play well with Rickie, so it will take time."
