Match Thread | Man City vs Southampton (02/11/19)

Old fatty Moss, reffing at Villa has actually had the balls to book Mane for a dive in the penalty area, he clearly hasn't been sent the memo

Had plenty of chances. They’re defending like their lives depend on it. They will tire. We won’t. Come on city!!

 

[Beanhead]

If the dippers lose today and we also fuck up I’ll be in the most foul mood ever.

haha just seen 5 head got a yellow for the most ridiculous dive even by his lofty standards... looks like William Defoe in Platoon when he gets gunned down.. it’s hilarious

One added minute .....& it’s not corrupt ?

Their keeper has had nothing to do . That needs to change and quick too . Slow pedestrian shite that has never worked for us. Ederson mistake has gave them a platform They should never have had.

Not one save for the keeper to make. Crap again this. Not the same side this season. What the fuck is Ederson doing for that goal?

Bernardo rubbish and the others not much better

This game smacks of Wolves tactics.

We HAVE to sort this out NOW. Teams realise if they let us have the ball and just pack the box, we struggle and get desperate.
Southampton are ahead, the timewasting will be comical in the second half.

I don't think any individuals have been too poor tbf. I just think it can be extremely difficult to break down a team that parks the bus with determination. Every team in history has the same issues.

Southampton have kept Aguero out of the game. There needs to be someone in or getting into the box to free him up a little.

 

[BigOscar]

Honestly it's just blind luck that has kept us out so far. So many balls dropping in their box, always to their players, ricochets going just the wrong way etc, that kind of luck doesn't hold out if we keep at it. Need to get more out of Gundogan on the edge of the box though, he's getting all the chances to pick a pass as they drop deep when we push in the wide areas and square it back to him, he just needs to find the right ball. May as well bring Cancelo on for Walker as well as he's got no defending to do and that overlap is constantly on, like it is with Angelino on the other side.

Keep hitting those low crosses in, keep getting Gundogan free and facing their goal 25 yards out and the goals will come

 

[Toulousain85]

Unpopular opinion but take off both Silvas.

Not at all. Bern has been average this season. David is at the end of his career, which means he cannot produce high performances week in week out. We'll see a lot more matches like this until Sane come back to offer us another dimension.
We have defence problem, but attack is just as problematic!
