Not having kdb is world class , he’s just a geezer who rolls the ball along the 6 yard line for tap ins. He’s passing and touch are miles off

Take him out and see how good we are.

You've clearly got a hatred of him and it's blatantly obvious with the rubbish posts

Good game to watch, fair play for Southampton actually having a go - strange to see a team actually press Ederson these days.

Sterling needs to stop giving the ball away and think Ake could come on at LB, would provide us with some more height on the set pieces as well. Oh and surely there must be someone more suitable to pick up Vestergaard on corners than Torres!

rednap (bagpuss?) is so biased, I understand why but the amazon pundit is really playing to it. Really surprised that there is no City side represented (sarcastic)

Mike Dean is a joke. Free kick against Rodri when he’s pushed in the chest. Never a yellow for KdB and another free kick against Sterling when Walcott got indigestion

I think a few on here are forgetting Southampton are in the midst of a great run, play with confidence and are at home. I think we are doing ok, sure they have had moments and once again we are getting exposed on our left but to be winning this game is job half done. Kev still produces yet another assist and it is clear they are closing him down, which should mean space for others opens up. Maybe Foden can exploit that later and I'd give Sergio a further 20 mins to make them think. Let's just get this win and use the space behind them on the counter especially as they tire after so much effort. Come on boys get the job done.

KDB loses the ball so easily so many times.

Has he changed to the same boot sponser as Sterling?

I’ve been amazed with the lack of concentration today. I don’t understand what the hell is going on

Other than Bernardo,our front players have been second best in their efforts to scrap for and keep the ball - we need more strength and hold up play from both Sterling and Torres.KDB is also again slightly off the pace,it can only be fitness.

Gundogan doing some good work,Rodri struggling to influence and is also off the pace.id be replacing him.

Central defence looks decent,Stones continuing his fine comeback.Walker and Cancelo still a bit shaky.

Overall,we are doing ok,but could definitely do better.We just need to show more authority in both possession and decision making.

Dean having a stinker,as per.....and when did Walcott become such a cheating little ****?

 

[Goater=Legend]

Rodri isn't gonna come off, we need the height with the set pieces

 

[journolud]

Harry Redknapp clueless in his summary of how teams play against us
