Southampton v City pre-match thread

[Danny_Johnson4]

Sterling, Delph and Stones were far and away our best players last week
All dropped
2 dropped from the squad completely

No injuries apparently,

What the actual fuck. Even in terms of fairness for the squad, you can play shite (clichy for the past 7 weeks), and you start.

Literally not even close to what I think the team should be but hey ho

Just don't get it... Bravo starts. Can't save any shots .. Delph not even in squad after playing well.... Sterling 2 assist last game doesn't start...

No clue what this manager is up to

Delph possibly rested after 2 games on the bounce mate

What is Peps problem? Just accept that the Bravo transfer didn't work out and lets move on with Willy in goal till the end of the season ffs

I hope not as that will mean we will be for a torrid day at the back

Any save is a great save for Bravo even the ones straight at him. Kompany will be huge for us today.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Seeing as we had no game last week then Stones and Delph must have knocks, otherwise I'm sure they would have both played.

 

[dubblue]

Would you put money on it ?

Absolutely not;)

I'm reliably informed the team read my comments so pep is starting him to spite me

Sarcasm alert*

 

[Mancityus]

Pep sticking with his keeper, what is he trying to do - allow him few good appearances so he can dump him during summer or giving him match practice so he can continue with him next year.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Christ, it's like the match thread and the game hasn't started yet!

 

[bboy]

Any concerns over Bravo are wiped out by just how happy I am to see VK

 

[blue corby]

Absolutely not;)

That's a pity .

 

[PragueBlue]

Delph has had injury problems so probably trying to ease him in a bit just as he did with Kompany. Fernandinho is the better of the 2 anyway even if a little out of sorts lately. KDB for Sterling worries me more as Southampton have fullbacks that like to push forward and KDB isn't the best at tracking back.

Maybe it's just giving some tired players a rest before the SF.

 

[Gray]

Is Pep the new "Tinker Man"?

The best teams all have a settled defence, ours changes every game.

 

[Wolfkin]

Shame that he can't go in goal.

 

[Andrew___K]

On a positive note, Aleix is on the bench.

 

[We'reNotReallyHere]

Does it?

A guy can hope.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Stones is injured and Delph not fully fit

 

[dubblue]

It's like any top manager with an enormous ego.
