City v Saints post match

A lot of frustration on the blue moan today
Has to be even more in the locker room
I was thinking the 4-0 in Spain would get this group to come together, but it didn't work out that way.
The pre match thread had posters commenting on how well Soton have been playing and they were right. They played very well as a unit and kept their shape throughout. Once again, aside from one gifted goal,we played well enough to win. But that ain't good enough. We will find out who has the guts on this team one way or another, and I hope soon. I can handle a loss but not lack of effort... It's time to play like a team.

We didn't lose.

The point is that individual mistakes are as certain as death and taxes, and the key is to mitigate against the danger of self-inflicted disaster happening by not taking needless risks in stupid areas. We are playing a system that is the polar opposite of that

Individual mistakes like those should be a rarity from players of the quality Bravo and Stones. The players need to be intelligent about risk taking and the system may need tweaking but far to early to be thinking of radical change.

The players are quite capable of letting any manager down playing any system: they have proved that too many times. Pep has to get into their heads or get rid of them.

other than arsenal all those teams haven't been great this year. the league is competitive and no one is winning every game.

What I see is Spurs and Liverpool being totally dominant in their games. Chelsea are on a roll and Arsenal apply pressure in every game. Thankfully, Spurs are struggling to score, Liverpool look vulnerable when they run out of gas, Chelsea are playing for the manager and Arsenal look scarily good at times but don't always get the result. These teams are playing pretty well. Good for the Prem (and us) that these teams aren't steamrolling everyone results wise.

Spurs and arsenal were both lucky to draw this weekend.

Fair enough, but you would think we were bottom of league, not top to read some of this ludicrous drivel!

Yep,much nonsense being spouted for sure,however,there is plenty of room for criticism too - all we ask is that it's kept civil and constructive please :-)
 
Disgraceful fans booing..sack pep before it gets worse..your disgusting..take your support to Old Trafford or anywhere but here.
 
Was very impressed with Southampton - we were a bit unlucky i thought. Still top, Atmosphere was dire today.
 
Who was booing? I was in 111, didn't leave early, and heard fuck all.

Poor form that, just because people have a cob on.

Just wondering, if those who tell us it will come right were blathering their "manager knows best" shite when we failed to score at both Villa and Norwich last season. It came right courtesy of West Ham beating the rags but it was a close run thing.
And if we can't criticise Pep because he's won a fair bit, then how come we could criticise Pellers and Bobby when they too have won a fair bit and have far more top level coaching experience than anybody on here. And remember Alan Ball? He too had far more experience, but was saved as the internet was only in its infancy while he was ruining us.
I think Pep will get it right, and it probably won't be as easy as it appeared after the first half dozen league games, but I really can't see why going over the top in criticism is any worse than going just as far over the top when praising the players and manager after a disappointing result.
