Harry Redknapp: ‘Stones and Rodri aren’t going to hurt you!’

Such a lazy, backward way of thinking just because they don’t get assists and goals that often.

Must have been on holiday on the last day last season

Wait til they are quoting what we paid for Bellingham!!!!

 

[CatMan]

Seriously, less Haaland's goal, I can't remember a less inspiring 45 under Stuart Pearce, and I am not fucking joking! I'm not sure how we managed so many backward passes without ever moving the ball forward. Results count, but as a spectacle it's fucking dreadful.

Watching ake again on that track back. He’s my player of the season regardless of haalands goals

Did you see jack, sprinting back like a man possessed

I agree that Ake has been arguably our player of the season. He's been so consistent every game.

I said in the pre-match thread that there are no poor teams in the Prem this season, not one relegation fodder team. There are about eight or nine 11th-14th level teams yet they can’t all fit in 11th-14th.

Southampton look very fit and their defensive tactics have been good, if not helped by City being far too slow in possession.

Agreed, some teams are just better when they can get into their shape, run hassle press & fight for every ball, work off set pieces, go long & counter, there’s too much space for their left winger which is a worry for Tuesday, and Mahrez looks isolated, it’s like Kev’s thought you’re doing nowt & effed off to the other side

They will play like this for another half hour,need to press it home with another goal

 

[spiny]

Great control by City against a high energy press by Soton who are now starting to slow. Text book cross and header for Haalands goal. 100 assists by Kev in the quickest time.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Is that 7 assists in prem league for Kevin to Viking. Need 10 for my bet to come in

You shall go to the ball mate

 

[Keeper!]

Yeah weird, thought it would be big Sam at least.

Big Sam is lined by for the #ent boys, Fat frank is getting sacked in the morning
