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

Can't take anything away from Saint's. Clearly it's their cup final.

They deserve their lead but our players have lost the ability to pass to each other. Not sure how that can happen with a load of international players.

Correct. Keep playing like this, and we're toast. But I have to believe we'll improve.

I don’t know if this will be one of the games where Pep lets the players on field sort it out and makes no change or he changes things to try and win.

Nonetheless, like you, I believe that they will improve.

We ain’t turning this around their confidence is up & our midfield doesn’t look arsed

Can’t see us scoring before midnight.

stupid back heel from Alvarez there...just what we needed

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Not really interested in this one tbh. I think we've done it over and over again. For me I would rather have the UCL and the pl this season

So dippers was a just like a league game with no points at stake?

People on here will love this one…I hate to say it but I think Gundo is done.

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

 

[hertsblue]

They want it more, we are being out fought all over the pitch

 

[coliotte]

get kev & aké & bernando in

Every time we do some weird version of three at the back it gives me the fear.

We've smashed every team on the planet dominating midfield and strangling them to death playing 4-3-3.

No need to piss about with it.

Fuck me it even goes back to Cruyff...

Yep, you can’t help but fear the worst when you see a raft of changes and players playing in dodgy positions. Self sabotage comes to mind.

No chance we are getting either of those if our inconsistent form continues. Better to play well in every game to build momentum!

Oh yes play the same team every game burnout by April. Bore off
