Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Southampton (25/04/26)

[Inter Me Nan]

What the hell has happened to Foden?

One of life's mysteries!!!

 

[supercity88]

Like going back to before the recent improvement. No shape, players all in the same position etc. Kovacic has looked bright but Reijnders and Foden are providing absolutely nothing.

Feels like a game where a late blast from Doku, Semenyo and Haaland could get us the win.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Im sorry but you dont go into a semi final and play a line up like that.

So you'd rather push starters who have already played twice this week against a Championship side? You have to account for these guys being human. You're not going to win every match 4-0.

 

[theholysmurf]

Hurts me to say but I think Phil is finished as the player we all loved his confidence is shot to shit.

Lad needs a move and reset, don’t think he’s finished as a player.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We’ve been poor but for Shearer to call 0.00 xG Southampton the better team is hilarious.

 

[urban genie]

no width on the right, foden offering nowt and weak on the ball

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Foden is shite.

Marmoush is useless.

Does anyone have a link for a Man City fans forum please?

Bag O' Shite

Im sorry but you dont go into a semi final and play a line up like that.

And you dont play the same 11 players for three games in 7 days, something a few of you don`t appear to understand.

 

[youngbob]

Playing alright, just needs to be a bit quicker up front. Southampton haven't actually done anything, it's just up to us to turn the screw now.

Doku for Foden, I think.

Very pissed off with the referee who is giving us fuck all while falling for every dive Southampton perform for him. Kills the game straight away.

 

[bert38]

Front 4 struggling -in each other’s way, no real idea where each other is.

Kova impressed but my days it needs Doku.

 

[Rolo]

XG of 0. Better team apparently.

 

[malg]

Are we allowed to say this is fucking shit ?

You can now.

 

[yeseye]

Hurts me to say but I think Phil is finished as the player we all loved his confidence is shot to shit.

He ain’t going to the World Cup that’s for sure.
Gibbs-White will go instead.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAH SOUTHAMPTON HAVE BEEN THE BETTER TEAM SHEARER SAYS

they’ve had a grand total of 34% possession and 0 shots

He should have just said both teams have been wank

 

[OrigamiNinja]

An appalling 1st half that and more worryingly, it was exactly as expected. Why is it your average fan on a forum can tell you before KO exactly how it will go but our extremely well paid coaching staff seemingly think otherwise?

Marmoush, Foden, Casper, RAN and Gonzales all abysmal. You can’t get away with that many poor performers even against this level of opposition.

Kova and Nunes are the only ones at any kind of decent level.

Make changes Pep.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Shearer thinks Southampton were the better team. Stupid ****! We’ve not been great but we’re the better team

He'd say the Dog and Duck losing against us 10 -0 at half time were the better team.

Look at the praise and plaudits Arsanal got last week for LOSING against us....

It's the expected script narrative with every broadcaster.

 

[GornikDaze]

Oooohhh an xg combined of 0.27

 

[WiganBlue1986]

Hopefully some changes can get us going, with so many changes and players lacking match fitness and confidence we look so much h off the pace and there for the taking at present

 

[WEMBLEY76]

In other news the Arse are winning.
