Match Thread | Man City vs Southampton (18/09/21)

[Mancity1980]

Pretty disjointed half. Jesus is off it today and sterling has been better but still not playing great. Fern has had good moments and some terrible passing. Jack has been good and Cancelo. Bernie a little quiet as well

Fernandinho seems to be trying to do his DM game and then play the risky killer pass. Great if it comes off but if it doesn’t it negates his initial play. Play it simpler Fern.

Pep I think the crowd has turned up mate, please can the team.

Maybe we play better without fans? ;)

Typical game after a mid week Champions League game.

Our lack of presence up front will be our undoing.

Jesus/Sterling are too static,Ball literally has to be delivered to their feet.

We need someone to put their self about in this area.

Delap should be given a try in games like this.

I'd like to see Delap given a go but it ain't happening

Poor 45 minutes. Tactically inept. 45 minutes to put it right.
Huge crowd being shortchanged so far.
Saints are the platinum level time wasters of the EPL.

I`ve seen a lot worse, fair play to saints, still ours to win.

We really should be putting them to the sword. As long as we get at least a point, it will be better than nothing.

Couldn't disagree more. Three points are a must given the run we've got coming up.

Hope he rams the words down my throat this season, but I don't think Jesus will ever find the consistency we require of him. We're in desperate need for a goal-a-game, battering ram of a striker.

I think this is one of those where in the last 25 minutes Southampton are going to be dead on their feet.

Absolutely
They look knackered right now. So I still think we can stretch them 2nd half

All of KDB, Phil, ffs, lavia or Torres would inrprove this

He needs to get fit 1st.

The CBs have both been aggressive and done largely well.
