Match Thread | Southampton vs Man City (11/01/23)

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

The passing from the defence and midfield - Philips in particular has been so slow. They look scared to pass the ball

 

[clarion]

Everyone out!

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

This has been worse than the first half againt Chelsea in the PL. That's some achievement as that was woeful.

Baffling how bad we have been first half.

 

[Raskolnikov.]

Disappointing half obvs but I’d happily sacrifice this game to give ourselves a better chance of success at the weekend. Leave the stars on the bench pls Pep.

 

[Blu1]

Well poor tactics.

Let’s be honest this team will not beat others if we did get through. Give players a run but no subs pep. This cup not more important than Utd at weekend.

I will be pissed with pep if he brings any big guns on. This game is over

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

what was the point Pep in putting out strong teams v Chelsea & Liverpool, to get to this round and then play this team?

 

[DMA's]

Some poor recruitment coming back to bite us. no lb, Phillips and grealish miles off rest of city squad level imo.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I don’t want to see a single one of that eleven take the field on Saturday lunch time, I’m sure Pep has challenged them to fight for a place & they’ve all failed miserably

 

[dublin-blue]

It was all a dream and we're back in 2005. performances like this are week in, week out

 

[Metal Biker]

On the upside it's making me all nostalgic.

We look fucking hopeless, getting arse raped by some dross in a cup game, playing in a hideous neon kit, it's like I've gone into a time machine back to the late 90s. Feel like a kid again.

Yep, I hate it.

Lets get back to being the 'good' Manchester City again! Reminded me of how dross those days actually were.
