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

I think Phillips is unsure what he is actually meant to be doing.

Perhaps tacking and passing should be a consideration?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Do we have a buy-back clause with Lavia?

 

[heslops barnet]

Keep it at 2 and we'll do them at our gaff 2nd leg

Ha ha

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Yep, you can’t help but fear the worst when you see a raft of changes and players playing in dodgy positions. Self sabotage comes to mind.

*OVERTHINK KLAXON*

 

[I'm Blue]

I’d love to know if the players think their performances and effort has been anywhere good enough this season.
We’ve had about 150 minutes of decent football in total.
No energy, no movement and no pressing.
From a Pep team.
If they want Pep gone they’re going the right way about it.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

I really don’t see a win here & first derby in years I’m dreading.

Can anybody actually clarify what pep has changed this season ? We don’t look like the city of season gone by.

We seem slow, play sideways no real plan & disorganised

You're not allowed question pep. He's a genius. Case closed

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

get kev & aké & bernando in

No, save them for the league. That's more important

 

[nmc]

What a blatant dive… commentator excuses it.

 

[Metal Biker]

Just switched on...







...the fuck!?!

 

[BlueBanger]

Sell Phillips, buy back Lavia

At least he has the excuse of ring rust...unlike some others.

 

[Mancity1980]

What convinces you were going to show a good performance Saturday either way?

I am never convinced of that! However even a not so good performance can be worst.

 

[Frankie lad]

Don’t want to be perspicuous but we need a goal.Always wanted to use that word:-)

 

[The Black Shed]

Utter pish. We've got no midfield!

 

[Thornliebank]

Players strolling about as if they’re two goals up……….

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Lavia is better than Phillips.

I'm better than Philips and I've had four pints.

I am not one at all to single out and dig out players but I just don't see it with him at all.

 

[Damanino]

I wonder if we won more games in this specific 3rd shirt than we lost or drawn. fucking shit this shirt.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Everything that’s wrong about City this season is exposed here . Slow sluggish piss poor passing, out muscled, out fought , no energy .

 

[hateutd]

Like be black in the middle of 80's.... Nightmare

 

[clarion]

Akanji on, Sergio out
Haaland on, Kalvin out
KDB on, Foden/Palmer out

Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Cancelo
KdB, Gundo, Foden
Grealish, Haaland, Alvarez

 

[geek24601]

Oh yes play the same team every game burnout by April. Bore off

I didn’t say play the same team?! I said it’s important to take every competition serious to build momentum. And thanks for being rude but it’s what I’ve come to expect on here!
