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

[stan bowles]

Doku on to rescue City and Pep.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Doku on.
Now go win it lad.

 

[Micky Blue]

We had a young team and the best right back in the world.
Now we have no fullbacks, Erling has been sussed by most teams and the manager has only extended his time for two years.
Alonso has gone to Madrid.
Today has been 5 years in the making.

I don’t think Haaland has been found out.
He’s a world class striker feeding off scraps.
We don’t play to his strengths.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Correct substitution

 

[VOOMER]

Patience was always need today-we found a way to beat strong running teams like Forest and Villa-we now have to find a way to beat a team that sits so deeply.

Very, very true.

 

[skillman]

Pep admitting he was wrong and bringing Doku on at half time.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I expect that’s McAtees career at City done now.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Need an early second half goal or else it’s much of the same, Doku n Marmoush will definitely change things, but it’ll be embarrassing if it finishes 0-0

 

[Tuearts right boot]

 

[WallyA]

Didnt wait long atleast for Doku on.

Show em Doku.

 

[Earlyriser]

After watching that first half Gibbs White walks into our midfield.

Walking being the operative word

 

[Chippy_boy]

This is my fear too. He's got the players schooled into this risk averse style, it's draining all the individuality and flair out of them.

Been that way for a long time now. We are tediously dull, far too often.

 

[theholysmurf]

Doku is usually only decent against exhausted fullbacks in the last 10 mins, hope im wrong.

 

[skillman]

This Arteta and Pep CB in fullback football is so so boring.

It won us the treble and he’s not progressed it ever since.

 

[Dogtanian]

Didn't even notice Mcatee was on the pitch first half

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Didn't even notice Mcatee was on the pitch first half

He’s bang average. Get 25 million for him and be dime with it

 

[East Level 2]

Doku is usually only decent against exhausted fullbacks in the last 10 mins, hope im wrong.

If Doku can't do well against this poor a team then he ought to give up. And that goes for the rest of them.

 

[tommybooth]

This has got one nil written all over it. Sadly not us.

 

[theholysmurf]

Mr Whippy in a footy ground is outrageous scenes

Lol. Bit flappy. Best striker in the world - sussed. Best manager - found out.
Even Southampton are better than us.

Give it time
