City v Southampton Post Match Thread

Wrong again

Really what does he bring to the table ?
Not impressed and would rather play Milner more .
At least Milner can cross a ball .

Saints full backs were nonexistent as an attacking force to day. Milner gave the ball away when he came on on several occasions Navas attempted more crosses today Milner put none in

Milner did more in that 15 minutes than Navas did all match .
Navas frustrates me big time .
Plus every chance Navas gets he doesn't score .
I thought wingers should chip in with the odd goal .

But Jimmy laid on the perfect pass for Frank to net the second crucial goal.

Good

11 v 12, then 10 v 12 and solid throughout! You need to hire an arse kicker/motivator to get that kind of performance more often.

You've got the attractive football that Venger dreams of, but you can also hound good opposition out of the match in important fixtures. Unfortunately a complacent performance against lesser opposition is often not far behind, and even though I'm just a casual well-wisher it really pisses me off.

It's one in the eye for all the miserable pessimists on here

3 in a row.

Where are all of them? This humble pie is piling up here and it's getting cold.

Great result YaYa played like we know he can
Happy for Clichy he played his heart out vs Bayern
Feel like we righted the ship now let's get healthy close down Maureen
Well done lads

If you say so Milner is rattling his chances to

Good TEAM performance today to win a game where the ref was clearly bent (he clearly gets a swag bag for a 0-0 draw at half-time).
As to the players pulled out above:
- Nasri good but not great.
- Mangella - over all pretty good - but he has to stop to the rash challenge when just using his pace and power to push the player away from goal is the better option.
-Would have said YaYa was back to his best if it hadn't have been for losing possession. Move him forward Pellers and these mistakes won't cost us!

I wonder if GC senses he might be out the door soon if he doesn't improve? That performance answers that Q!
Nice to see Yaya actually wanting to get aroun the pitch instead of sauntering around.
Fernadinho my MoM imo.
Lampard needs to stay, his experience and finishing is what we need when teams are tiring.
Hopefully this is our springboard to put pressure on the chavs.
Next up.... The Toffees at home, come on City.

Only downside is Kompany out for at least four weeks and this is the busiest month

What a performance and what a result, delighted with that today.

This is what we should be celebrating, not mealy-mouthing about singular individual mistakes.
