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

[CatMan]

Feck me, this is killing me. No urgency, no intensity and zero invention. Getting in each other's way and running down blind alleys. And as for Marmoush and Foden, well they offer nothing.

 

[lonestay]

If Pep doesn't change it big time He wants out of the cup

I dont understand getting this far and throwing it away

 

[heslops barnet]

Apart from Kovacic there's not a single player showing Pep that they should be a regular in the side.

You'd expect a couple to step up and try give Pep something to think about for Everton away.

It's been far the opposite, they aren't getting minutes for a reason and that reason being that they aren't good enough.

Reijnders is an absolute joker, AC Milan pulled our pants down for £40m or whatever it was, He's not worth 40 quid ffs.

Apparently coming good next season so I’ve heard

 

[ono]

I thought it was a 5:45 kick off so missed the first 30 mins. Gutted, although by the sounds of things, we've been shite.

 

[Blueknows]

At some point Phil has to remember what his strengths are and at least try to play to them instead of playing safe every single time he gets the ball.

Back to goal asking for it then immediately plays.it back , playing far too safe

 

[dctid]

genuinely do not understand why someone would pick this team, I get giving players a rest but this is just slow and predictable

 

[GornikDaze]

everyone is tripping over one another or running into each others spaces in midfield.

we need some girth ;p

 

[01cravend]

Phil been better than Marmoush and Reijnders

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Got the feeling Micah is touting for a presenter role in the future.

 

[SMB75]

Too many changes, wrong line up.
Need to make subs asap.

 

[Aba452]

Burnley and this are the football equivalent of watching paint dry

Would it be Johnstone's paints.......;-/

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I can’t take Eddie Munster seriously, who the fuck lined up his transplant, ray Charles??

 

[Dodge]

Because a fouls isn't a tackle, it's a foul?

Yeah..but..

 

[Tevez City]

Lets hope Pep will not replace Nunes with Khusanov

It will be like walking with one leg

If Nunes needs to be subbed, the its better to replace him with Savinho

At lease he will create chances

 

[alex]

Abysmal performance need major changes asap. No threat at all. Kova been best player and not played for nearly a year. Don't get me started on Foden and Marmoush

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

We’ll win this, they’ll get knackered, we’ll bring on one or two players and change the game. Pep masterclass resting most of the first 11.

I doubt they will tire out. We often expect this but most sides just don’t especially with substitutions.
We need to make some to add width and impetus to move them out of position. Too crowded at present.

 

[blue_danube]

What the fuck is Rooney going on about

Why? He's talking sense. Our players are in the way of each other

 

[eyalluvitt]

Mard arse Ait-Nuri drops stinker after stinker and pulls a sad face when he’s benched

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Micah back with his “can I ask you a question?” No Micah, fuck off you daft ****.

 

[give it to gordon]

My lad just text who is at the match he said "cant see a fucking thing cos of the sun"
Why didnt the fa follow the guidelines and build the pitch north to south ? Instead of East to West which is wrong
