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

This is piss poor. What the fuck are we doing?
We can't put 2 passes together.
Wank by our standards.
Walker is not a centre half and never will be.

Scary to see the lack of depth in the squad. Take a few of our key players out and look a completely different team. The whole performance can’t be blamed on a full back playing centre half

 

[FantasyIreland]

Pep taking the fucking piss with that line up.

it has nothing about it....like a bunch of bastard strangers......no rhythm,no conviction and no authority.

As soon as i saw that 'defence' 1 centre half 1 full back and a couple of wing backs at best........the current predicament was obvious.

He should have sent the EDS if he was going to play the ****.

 

[WestGorton]

Every single player has been shite so far. Southampton fully deserve their lead.

Fair that. No individual to blame. Shit team performance so far.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Phillips is weak against Soton still not match fit?

He's off to Krispy Kreme after

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Needs shipping out

Don’t get me started on him. He is a world class myth

Cancelo - discuss!!

Just out of form. He’s a cracking player, just a bit streaky in form at times. He’s had spells like this even when he’s made the team of the season, then he turns it around and is mint for four months.

Cancelo - discuss!!

Never a defender in a month of Sunday’s.

 

[deano ou812]

These players out there were playing for a semi final spot,and the possibility of giving pep a headache in the up and coming games I can’t even single out one who has been even average so far.

 

[eyalluvitt]

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

Very true, we need to pull this back or hell will freeze over

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Phillips looks completely uninterested

Nah. He's just been found out. He's nowhere near good enough to be around our squad.

 

[cbl]

If I was a Saints fan, I'd be livid that they don't put the same effort into their league games.

don’t think it’s that so much as our blatant lack of effort tbh

In fairness, they play better sides in other games

 

[Blue warrior]

Passing is atrocious, not playing well at all it’s very frustrating.

 

[Blu1]

All I ask is no Fookin subs pep. Leave all of these on to sort it.

 

[JWCH-99]

Feel sorry for the 3000 city fans down there

 

[Silvas Left Peg]

Serious question... has phillips or cancelo played a forward pass yet?

 

[Mancity1980]

I was concerned with this game before with its closeness to the Derby and United having an easier fixture with a longer rest until the game. Clearly Pep was worried about this and it has resulted quite frankly in a disastrous start to this game. Southampton are at home and are clearly up for this game and fair dos to them. Now Pep has a big problem, does he persist with this lineup and thus quite likely go out of the tournament? Or does he bring on the big guns to chase the game and risk impacting our performance on Saturday?

 

[jaiguruKun]

I wouldn't bother bringing the big guns if we're still two down, not worth the risk. Better to write this one off possibly.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Grealish hit a defenders legs there?
