Match Thread | Man City vs Southampton (10/03/21)

They're pressing very hard and keeping the ball well

We're being made to play badly, it's not happening without cause

See! I like your posts when you talk sense. :)

Thank fuck for Souness and Lescott talking sense. Hinchcliff should be fired for incompetence if he can’t see that’s a penalty

If incompetence were a factor in being a sky commentator we'd have a whole new commentary team by now.

With you on that, mate. If you need an accomplice...

I'll drive.

And they say Var is working it can fuck rite off along with Hinchclife and moss and Tyler you horrible fuckers

I could never work in this game. I’ve barely been able to process we are winning. I’d have ripped Moss’s tits off at half time for that. Seething doesn’t even cover it.

We will win this 6-1

I am a fan of Walker. Thought he would bring some much needed pace from Sunday. He’s been very poor though.

they have pressed our full backs and midfield v well tbf-and also playing lots of long balls in the cahnnels-caused us lots of problems

Spot on pf but in his favour at least Zinc is trying to be positive in moving the ball forward unlike Walker who once again offers us nothing.

Zinc will improve I've no doubt about that, and kyle is quick, not the most technical, but against fast players we need his pace

Cheating fookers

Nailed on pen why moss isn't looking at a replay is obvious corruption seen numerous replays and everyone shows Phil being fouled wtf are var looking at???

Mahrez has been excellent these past few games. Props to him for stepping up.

I'm still not convinced by this constant rotation at CB. I appreciate we need to rest, but it seems like Stones is being benched every other game when we've finally found the best pairing in years in him and Dias.

I feel like Laporte's inclusion is simply to keep him happy having dropped down the order, rather than what's best for the team at the moment. I imagine Stones' resurgance to form was somewhat unexpected, but this scenario is a symptom of having one too many quality options, rather than a very clearly defined pecking order. CB is a position which suffers from change.

Long term, I don't see how Pep plans on keeping Dias, Stones, Laporte and Ake happy without it being detriment to the team.

We’ve got such a long way to go and a notoriously fragile stones. We’ll need him, should we progress, in every cl match. Rather risk not having him now than not having him then.
