Match Thread | Southampton vs Man City (11/01/23)

The players could at least show a bit of passion and desire for the blues that have travelled. ffs

 

[Don Karleone]

It’s midfield for me - it’s being completely dominated by Southampton

We have a midfield?

 

[baggy]

Getting dominated in the middle...

 

[hertsblue]

Cancelo - discuss!!

Awful this season, not just bad but shocking. Weak link at the moment, gives the ball away and cannot defend

 

[minimalistic]

Not yet. We are the kings of comebacks.

Not unless Pep makes some wholesale changes and we know that's not going to happen quickly.

 

[thanatos]

Phillips is very, very much not close to Rodri

 

[domalino]

Rico for Cancelo.
Bernie or KDB for Gundogan.

That will sort things out.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This square pegs in round holes arrogance does my head in and is Pep's Achilles heel.

 

[Semper aggressus]

You do realise if we get beat we've handed a trophy to the rags

Geordies will win it.

Yep

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Lavia > Phillips.

Cancelo, Gomez, Grealish, Palmer all absolutely miles off it as well.

 

[TheBlueCat]

It’s midfield for me - it’s being completely dominated by Southampton

Now we know why Pep won’t play Foden in midfield. Not had a kick

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Lets hope Pep will not make any sub.


We need fresh legs for the league

This. If this team can’t salvage the game then let it go. It’s the sort of night where something silly will happen like Haaland ending up injured.

 

[vicblueman]

Gomez ,phillips & Grealish are not good enough to play for Mcfc .
This is the wake up call they need ,the passing has become pedestrian & to slow at times .

 

[nellyonthewing]

He is shit

Is the correct answer

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Palmer pretty poor.

Hasn't got the pace for the top level, his finishing is pretty ropey too

 

[Roachy]

Few players not showing here

I've counted 5 so far.

 

[wolviedinho]

Tell you what tho. I hope we clear out a few players that are not at our level come the summer. In terms of squad quality, this squad is way below previous standards.

Some just not good enough or lost the fight. It’s been evident all season.

 

[dickie davies]

Sticks head in match day thread
Quickly moves on

 

[stan bowles]

The first goal gave them a massive lift. This is like a basketball game and their finishing looks miles better than ours.
