allways said from when the fixtures came out if we get through this group of hard games and are 6 points adrift then we will be fine,i wouldnt even wright us off even if its 9 points,dont forget yes our rivals have improved but theirs have toIf we lose the next two matches, at a possible nine points behind it will be almost impossible this season given how improved our rivals are.
Unfortunate.
Like me you didn't mate because they never happened. Saints were more than a match for us on the day, some might say we were fortunate to get a point in the end.I must have missed the more and better chances city created yesterday
The league should be priority every time anything else is a bonusPersonally I don't give a shit about league and Carabao cup
This season i want FA cup and CL.
End of story
MCFC should be beating them , even with many players unavailable.
The fact remains we were very, very poor yesterday and a quality side would have beaten us comfortably yesterday.
Yes. Its taken for granted how good we are at building from the back. Neither Dias or Ake are anywhere near the levels of Stones and La Porte at those zipped passes. It was ponderous, slow and v predictable yesterday.We missed Laporte's build up
Always catches the eye when he plays against us. He's 29 so I'd think about him as a replacement for Fernandinho in the summer.Reminds me of a poor mans De Jong (Nigel not Frankie) but like you said always seems to have a decent game against us.
Which is why xG is nearly as shit a metric as net spend. Had Saints had more composure in front of goal they'd have won 2 or 3-0. Yesterday felt more like a point gained for us, rather than two dropped.If your eyes fail you and you are into that sort of thing: City's Xg was more than double Southampton's.
Agreed, Romeu is a classy performer. Very underratedAlways catches the eye when he plays against us. He's 29 so I'd think about him as a replacement for Fernandinho in the summer.
