City v Southampton pre match thread

[German Blues]

Maybe stay home eh pal?

To late, just took my seat on the aircraft. Today things have to change. Fingers crossed

Wonder if Pep will give Bernardo a run out. If he does, I hope its in Dave's spot so we can see what he can do. Dave can also have a rest.

We can probably get past West Ham without one of Dave or KdB and hopefully they'll both be left out of the trip to Ukraine but I think they're too vital to our game to be rested against a Southampton side that are defensively sound, their big problem has been scoring.

Best of luck but if we do draw then I’m requesting you stay as an arm chair fan for the rest of the season.

My away matches have been Feyenoord and Chelsea so far this season. I’ll try to treat this match as an away match and start drinking quite early ;-)

4 days rest til next game , which is at home so no travelling. Play the strongest team for me.
Play the strongest team v West Ham too then all the strongest 11 can have a week off.

Much as I love them the likes of B.Silva and Gundogan aren’t yet as good as D.silva and KDB. Give them 90 mins in champs league

After rags win tonight this makes it another vital 3 points. As I have said all season, no room for complacency. If we play like we can this should be a comfortable win.

The rags win will not change our approach one iota and, nor should it

Totally agree

Little bit of pressure on after last night. I think most thought Watford would get something. A shock defeat and we'll only be 2 points clear when we step out against West Ham, following Arsenal's inevitable bending over. Shows how quick things can change if we get complacent. Must win game.
