Match Thread | Southampton vs Man City (05/07/20)

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Zinchenko is nothing sort of appalling here.

Out of position, caught under the ball, trying to force passes that aren't even there.

Playing with nine men if you also factor Mahrez not even getting back in to cover Cancelo.

Southampton forcing us to play the inside pass every time.

KDB please.

Cancelo playing well, shit goal to concede, as a collective not doing enough.

We check back a lot, must be hugely frustrating at times for our striker(s)

 

[TFC]

Dour. Changes please.

I was hoping this could be a blessing in disguise to show our mettle in coming from behind. We’ve been poor this season once going behind. We need to start finding a way to get back in games. Great game to watch. Been impressed with Cancelo apart from losing it on one occasion with Redmond but deserves credit. Jesus just doesn’t have that killer instinct like Aguero. Sterling fizzed one in which Aguero would have gobbled up, he’s just a too slow to react

fuck me, there are some mardy arsed smacked arses on here

Poor first half bar the odd little spell.

Fern is looking his age now I think
Zinchenko ain’t good enough
Bernardo needs a rocket up his arse
Jesus is never going to be a prolific striker.

We must buy a left back, CB and Striker in summer.

a good first half game of footy, we have been unlucky in front of goal, we will win this. cancello having a decent game

Finally some positivity in here. I feel the same way about this match.

 

[Blu1]

Fair point, if Pep wants to rest players and keep them fresh for the cups then that's fine with me. As long as we stay second then I'm not arsed

yep league over. I want Kev & foden wrapped up till we need them

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

What I would give to have a striker like Haland up front for us. Some actual presence.

We are extremely reluctant to cross the ball and end up going backwards and sideways repeatedly. Difficult against a packed defence but as the flurry of chances proved we should do it more.
