Southampton (a) pre-match thread

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Let's pray KDB is fit for Thursday.

 

[TFC]

Leaders <3

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Our team is looking a lot better. Kompany, Ferdi, Silva and Aguero, we suddenly have all our leaders back in the mix. The bench looks strong again as well.

 

[cookster]

Disappointed Foden overlooked again but that side should have plenty enough.

 

[chaddblue]

As long as Dinho isn't only 50% fit and we avoid the ball going anywhere near our full backs, we should be fine

 

[Gray]

CITY XI | Ederson, Danilo, Kompany (C), Sterling, Aguero, Laporte, Silva, Bernardo, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Zinchenko SUBS | Muric, Walker, Stones, Sane, Otamendi, Jesus, Foden

Last season I wouldn't worry who was playing, but after the last two matches my confidence is low.

Any way happy new year fellow blues.

 

[7evens]

So our back four is second choice, second choice, first choice, third choice. This might be a fun afternoon!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Imagine that Pep had put Sterling on the left to help Zinchenko out

 

[Chi-town blues]

Always am lol,you can bet your house on me doing it before every single game,i'm some peoples superstition,oh the pressure lol

So basically you are like a gypsy women without a ball ?

 

[jamiecav]

Cometh the hour, cometh the captain.

Let's hope we go out all guns blazing and get 4 up and get fern off. Actually maybe 5 up

 

[City Raider]

They’ve made a lot of changes.

 

[Silva_Spell]

My dream is to witness the Dinho, Silva, KDB midfield again.
That's what pushed this team from a very good PL winning side to arguably the best the PL has seen.

 

[Blue Bogey]

Flat back 4 and a RB Ramsay 18 years old making his first start. With 3 DM’s. They will still park the bus and hope for a set piece.

 

[Gray]

Just stick a rocket up Mahrez's arse and tell him to run past at least one defender.

 

[jayblue]

We're reigning champions its what you should expect.

Youd also expect position defying performances against the current league leaders wouldn't you ?

 

[Ric]

They’ve made a lot of changes.

Their fans don’t seem particularly happy with that line-up, judging by the reaction to it on their official Twitter account.

 

[Sky Blue]

Just stick a rocket up Mahrez's arse and tell him to run past at least one defender.

Do you ever stop moaning ?

 

[bert38]

Just stick a rocket up Mahrez's arse and tell him to run past at least one defender.

be interesting if pep and the team could convert him to a left winger-or at least as an option. cutting inside is so predictable.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Looks like a flat back 10.

Get a couple of early goals otherwise they'll take 0-1 until 80 mins and then pepper our backline from the bench.

 

[Blueknows]

If we dont win today against a very poor saints side then we dont deserve to win the league
