City v Southampton post match thread

Not impressed by Shaw, still to see anything to justify the hype. Overlapped well and got in good positions, but didn't get a cross anywhere near a teammate and was very suspect defensively. Got a long way to go before he's the player that the media seem to think he is imo

It was one game. If you've watched him throughout the season then you will know how good he is. Never mind the fact he is only 18 and is first choice prem rb and an England rb

You've watched him all season and think he's a RB?

Yaya booked for diving, Lallana not booked for diving (first half no one anywhere near him in the box).

Ferna booked for hand ball, Shaw not booked for a worse hand ball.

Yes the 2nd was offside but at the speed it hit Dzeko I assume the linesman thought it had hit an opposition player.

BT Sport can get to fuck, constant sly digs from the commentators and Jake (happy to take the cash off us for hosting an end of season bash) Humpries. I think this is something we should just accept is going to happen until we really dominate this league.

I'm going to try and not let it get to me any more. They'll all be congratulating us and sucking up to us once the innevitable happens.

Well done blues, great result today.

Bit of a worry in the first half ,that they were allowed to dominate the midfield and dictate the play, luckily this didn't extend to the final third and have to say MDM was again superb for us ,likewise Garcia who came on and did a fine job in minimizing the Southampton threat Silva was the difference no doubt and some of his touches were sublime Hope he carries this form against the dippers next week my nerves are already kicking in for that one

I suspected that might be a slip ;) I haven't watched Southampton much, but whenever I have he's not done enough with the positions he gets into. He gets into great positions though, so if he did start putting in better deliveries then he could be really dangerous. About 5 times today he had all the time in the world down our flank, but never really put in a killer ball, whereas Kolarov looks threatening with every cross he puts in

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!!

surely your a wum , adam lallana is a very good player thats only going to get better, I would love him at city

Have a day off mate!

Great first 5 mins, poor next 30 then got better again. Controlled the second half thanks to a good substitution.

Silva was superb. Dzeko decent and Kompany good. Other than that the others were so/so.

Zabaleta was awful. Diving in every time, stupid penalty to give away and just not at it at all today, especially first half.

Kolorov was also poor first 30 mins but got better.

Win next week and it's in the bag for me.

Fair enough pal. I just think the potential is there to be a top player. Tbh he didn't impress me the most I thought jack cork was their best player along with ward prowse<br /><br />-- Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:48 pm --<br /><br />
