City v Southampton post match thread

Where was every one? The stadium looked 3/4 full.

Major potential banana skin overcome - got some nice crosses in as well today - Dzeko could have filled his boots but 4-1 more than good enough for me so quietly on we go about our business

Huge 3 points.

Poor first half despite the 3 goals.

Garcia came on and changed the game, made us much more defensively sound, so well done Manuel and Javi.

Delighted for Jovetic to score a goal and play another game without getting a injury.

Keeps pressure on Chelsea and Liverpool, well done blues!!!!

is negredo turning into dzeko?

Made up with that, another 3 important points in the bag. However even more nervous, about the game at klanfield. If we're as complacent there, as we were in patches today. I think they'll tear us a new one. Just hope were fired up, and firing on all cylinders. Ah well good win, and I'll enjoy it. Feel a bit sorry for the beast, his confidence is none existent at the moment. Hope he can bag something soon, to give him a boost.

Strangest team we've encountered all season. Good technically and they keep the ball well without ever really threatening, but we seem always to expect a park the bus type team to come to the Etihad so it was a little unnerving to face a small team that could actually play. I am worried about these so called Southampton England players though: Never seen such overrated individuals in all my life!! Adam Zindane Lana and fuck me - Ricky Lambert!! When you think Dennis Tueat could hardly get a game and you look at this shit!!

4-1 we deserved it FFS. Sure they dominated first half and had an offside decision that led to a goal against them but c'mon on, we scored the others fairly. And could have a lot more. Dzeko and negredo missed a 2 good chances each. It's not like we were devoid of any other good goal opportunities.

Absolutely, and for all their possession, Southampton had one shot on target the whole game. When we went a goal up we looked to sit back, soak up some pressure and hit them on the break, like we did in several games earlier in the season. Even though it's a bit scary when the other team has a lot of the ball, they didn't look that likely to score until the penalty.

We made significantly more passes than them in the final third.

Re: Southampton post match thread

That first half was unacceptably poor and against a top 4 team we'd have been dead and buried.

If we saunter around like that against Liverpool they'll definitely give us a new bumhole.

Goals 2 and 3 came like a gift from above. We were being totally dominated at that point. Silva was clearly miles offside for the 2nd. Fortune was definitely smiling on us in that mad little period.

2nd half we were excellent. Totally bossed the game and got our usual game going really well.

Much of this was the fact we were 3-1 up but also the change MP made where Garcia came on and 'plugged' the gaping hole we left in the 1st half made a significant difference. Garcia, again, played very well and delivered MP's requirements with assured confidence and professionalism.

Silva was ethereal. 1000% one of the best players on the planet.

Kolarov was outstanding. What a fucking player this lad has become under MP.

Let's see if the scousers shit themselves tomorrow.

That's the nature of football , its the goals that matter.

We could play as poorly against Liverpool next Sunday and be 3-1 up at half time like today.

All we can is win our games like Edin said after the game.

Re: Southampton post match thread

Thought your boys were going to have a wobble today after the goal because you looked like you were coasting again but you pulled it out of the bag.

Any of the Klanfield lot go on about offside goals and conspiracies, just remind them how offside Skrtel was for the 1st goal against us and why Stevie Mee wasn't sent off in his last 2 games.

They are just worried big Andy Carroll is going to bully their error prone, soft as sh*te back line.

You need to make sure you win the league. The thought of Stevie Mee or chavvy Terry lifting the trophy turns my stomach

Or how Skrtel probably should have a penno given against him on literally every corner taken in their end. How that twat consistently gets away with what he does is an utter mystery.

Is it really that poor when you score three and have 4 gilt edged chances to make it at least 4 which it should have been.

Southampton penalty aside didn't trouble Hart today.
