Match Thread | Southampton vs. Man City (10/05/25)

[Saddleworth2]

Really ? I mean really? That’s all we have ? Absolute nothing display. I can only think that Pep wants to give his second string an outing and will make at least three subs at half time.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Absolutely shocking how bad we’re playing against a team with 11 points.

We did draw away with the last team to get 11 points!!!

 

[Damanino]

bit of a worry we had all week to prepare for this game, and we have very little ideas vs a deep sitting poor Soton.

not sure fullbacks giving width is good enough vs these sides that sit deep. they dont double up on Gvardiol or Lewis but may double up on Doku giving bit more breathing space to others to find some space.

 

[stan bowles]

Seeing McAtee's name in every third post on here. Like anyone else is playing well for us ?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Who the fuck is this ref? Absolutely shocking.

Not sure what Pep is thinking asking Rico to provide width, it's the opposite of what he's good at. Kevin, really poor. Phil looks much brighter.

 

[deano ou812]

Being honest it's a performance that's expected, We've been bobbins in recent weeks too but we are just getting over the line with wins.

Today will be the same, We'll win...Just.

Today has been pretty much the same as it has been for months for the next 3 weeks we just have to accept it.

But will it change next season that’s the question that needs answering..

 

[Blue Calx]

Get McAtee on

 

[Chak19]

He doesn't offer us anything different than what's already on the pitch, other players have his small skillset and other skills too.
Cruel but he's a Poundshop Foden.

And this version of Foden is a Poundshop real Foden.

 

[Fourinarow]

I came inside from the sunshine to watch that and now want to nap. Zzzzzz.

 

[spiny]

Below par. Lacking any quality. Foden and MacAtee offering the same goal threat as a couple of traffic cones.

 

[madloaf]

One of these games were gonna start with 11 players and give someone a good hiding.

 

[SWPISHOME]

O'Reilly >>>
Nunes >>>
Doku >>>
Marmoush >>>

Lewis <<<
Akanji <<<
Foden <<<
McAtee <<<

I'd do it at half time as well.

Pep won't.

80 minutes we'll see changes more than likely.

 

[Stato]

Sav and doku have been warming up at HT

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

This is chronically shit

Stuart Pearce levels of shit to be precise.

 

[heslops barnet]

I think in the attack, only Foden has played well.

Gvardiol and Lewis wide isba waste.

Haaland in the centre, just nothing going on, same with McAtee.

Dont really understand this, need loads of subs.

Foden fan club member?

 

[Belly5959]

Well, that was utter shite.

 

[bluethrunthru]

I think I may have fainted and just come round - I don't recall anything of that 1st half

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

He’s good at finding space in the box so I kinda understand why he got the nod today, but the rest of the team has to actually be capable of finding him and that simply ain’t happening today so far

He's been found a few times and wasted it a few times. Not sure it's his team mates fault. We will see, maybe he will grow into the game.

 

[Sky Blue]

Starting line up too conservative against this lot. Is McAtee playing?

 

[red 2 hats]

That was 45 minutes of shite, no speed in anything we did, there keeper hasn't had to make a save.
