Young Doyler acquitting himself very nicely tonight.

There was one moment when he had a very heavy first touch and went straight into a tackle and I was terrified for a moment he was going to get one of those red cards, but pulled out just in time.

Other than he's been excellent, feel he could push up and get more involved, he's sat in a bit of a hole in no mans land at the moment in between the back 3 and the front 6.

Fodens never-ending running is so beneficial to the whole team

His selection always provides a fillip, that's for sure.

If you look at his shirt, that’s how you say the letter ñ.

You learn something every day. Consider my wrists well and truly slapped!

I think if we get the 3rd before the 60th minute, they will collapse and it could get to 6,7,8.

At times Mahrez was treating it like a charity game and getting a bit casual/over elaborate, he might end up pulling off something completely outrageous if we get to 4+.

It's to be Hope's he doesn't pull it off on the pitch

Apparently bravo hasn’t touched three ball with his hands yet haha

Southampton made 67 passes the whole have and only 37 were successful. We made 370 and 348 were successful

So we have fewer unsuccessful passes from 370 attempts than they do from 67! Crazy.

Easy half. Southampton were dire. Looks like their mission is not to get hammered.

Southampton made 67 passes the whole have and only 37 were successful. We made 370 and 348 were successful

Southampton's one and only mission tonight is to keep this below 9.

Wow. They’re not even trying and time wasting at 2-0 down. Right next to the away fans. Fair play to them for coming but they should be giving them hell. They don’t seem bothered either. Their two centre forwards are playing centre midfield. Unbelievable. Not that it’s our problem. Superb by the young ones so far. 4 academy players playing tonight. I wonder if the Mirror will be reporting on that tomorrow????

Get real. City didn’t play tonight so how do you expect the DM to report anything.

So we had 22 poor passes ? who were they by and should Pep be sacked?
