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

[give it to gordon]

Phillip's first touch is poor

 

[Josh_D]

He’s playing in a midfield 3 with someone who’s barely played for a year and a teenager tbf

Phil isn’t a teenager…agree with Phillips not having played consistently for quite a while

 

[GornikDaze]

Just switched on...







...switched off again!!!

I knew I should have watched coronation street instead

Midfield is hiding.
We’ve no forward ball.

 

[argyle]

So far in his City career, Gomez has looked somewhat out of his depth.

However i dont want to single him out as everyone has been poor.

 

[Len Rum]

Palmer very poor so far.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Cole Palmer is shite it has to be said. Not cut out for this level

 

[Akiva]

Love the hot takes about the lineup here. Imagine we played Haaland and he picks up an injury - or we sacrifice fitness for our best players for this game over the Rags - how much flack would you be giving Pep then?

Clearly we aren't playing fucking Philips, Palmer et al because they impressed in training or some shit - the derby is being prioritised as well it should be.

People here talk about experiments, but other than Walker everyone is playing in their position. And the selection is because we have a derby in 3 days that is much more important. What would people do differently here?
