Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Southampton (25/04/26)

Front 4 giving it away so cheaply. Needlessly setting them on the counter.

 

[Norbert D]

Ref starting to give them everything.

It’s Pawson, no surprise there then.

 

[Blu1]

Fook me we are so slow we are actually walking

 

[69FACUPfinal]

fook me ref soft as fook

Usual reffing rules against us apply. Opponent loses ball flings self to gro7bd, wins free kick.

Wtf didn't Erling do that last week?? That frcker Gabriel still playing makes a huge difference for arsanal.

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

Looks like Southamptons decision to play Pawson is starting to pay off

 

[Elbow beards]

Geoffrey Boycotts corridor of uncertainty.
WTF.

 

[wolviedinho]

Im all for bashing but can we lay of Foden. Something not right. He has been a magnificent player for city.

 

[roach3]

At least Kova tried but why not Square it to Mooshy.

He’s seen what he does in training

 

[super_city_si]

Pawson is a terrible ref. Savio marmoush foden and the reindeer not upto it. We could lose this.

Savios not even playing

 

[Semper aggressus]

Seen enough in 28 mins to say this team ain't winning this

You can tell with us can’t you. Fucking shock result all over it when we don’t pick our best XI.

 

[heslops barnet]

I think Reijnders might come good and this be a difficult first season acclimatising.

Thanks for that Reijnders dad

 

[Gibblue]

Not sure what people expected from a lineup consisting of two players that haven't played a minute for months, and several who have barely played in weeks.

Clearly prioritising the league but a bit complacent from Pep and the team so far.

 

[Norbert D]

Did Shearer just say that was a “brilliant ball” from their free kick? It fucking missed everyone and went out of play! I know they want the underdog to win but come on…

Shearer is and always will be a wanker.

 

[roy.or.r]

We need quite a few signings. Vitinha, Kvaratskhelia, Anderson should be our priorities.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

It’s Pawson, no surprise there then.

Soon as I saw who it was before ko said same.

 

[Cityfishy]

Huge changes second half. ..this lot have had their chance and fluffed it.

Get the big guns on

I never understand the logic of starting the reserves and then having to bring on the first team players. It never works, just play the first team get the game safe then sub them off!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Nice feet from Gonzalez.

 

[Mancity1980]

I think this 11 would beat themselves so far. Making it very slow & easy for them

A lot of these players have plenty of first team experience, they should be doing better, Marmoush is very frustrating.

 

[Pepmanc]

Better second half coming

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Doku for Foden at HT changes this.

Don't think Foden should really be starting.

I'd be careful with Doku. He's played a lot recently and can be prone to muscle injuries.
