Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

Yeah I blame the kit man.

Off with his head!

Fucking shit that. I hate this slow boring stuff, we need to go back to attacking with incisive quick passes and movement.

Some of the players just don’t look good enough; Gomez and Palmer particularly, and not just based on that garbage tonight.

I really miss how we used to play, when we were smacking these sort of teams 4 or 5-0 no trouble.

You're right mate it's as boring as fuck when we start off games like tonight, and it's happening way too often

Every single 'top team' in the Prem will have a dip in form due to the massively stuffed season.

Injuries, form and second string players will have a big part to play this season for everyone.

Swings and roundabouts.

Does our dip in form last from August til January? Baring a handful of good performances we have been poor all season

 

[LucahArchie10]

Awfull, not good enough or just a complete embarrassing performance

Gomez just not good enough I'm afraid, Cancelo what the fuck has happened to him???

If Foden is sulking then tonight's performance has certainly kept him on the bench Saturday

Not 1 fucking shot on target thats a joke

Palmer just needs games & out on loan he has to go simple

2nd goal was a keeper shocker although our passing was a disgrace for both goals

Take Chelsea results as you want but they are wank & down to there bones with injuries

You can go back to mid October & you won't find 1 game where we can say wow that's what City are about not 1, there either scrambled, lucky or just not good enough

The big man up front has got us where we are & that needs to change

Kev, Phil, Cancelo, Eddy, Grealish & Berny all need a fucking kick or raise there game otherwise it's a long 5 month

Rodri, Haaland, Ake & lately Mahrez can hold there heads up the rest need to switch on & quick

I honestly think that pep and a number of players are fatigued mentally over the last couple of title wins I wouldn’t be surprised if things don’t improve he’ll go end of season..

Possibly.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Is it any surprise we have declined as a team this year when we have replaced:

Fernandinho with Phillips;
Jesus with Palmer; and
Zinchenko with Gomez?

This summer's transfer window was very poor.

Jesus with Alvarez, the World Cup winner

 

[Ilovehappyendings]

And Dean Henderson can't play against the rags. Lol

 

[Gumzy97]

Seems like we just need a refresh. Jude will help if he comes in the summer, but we might need a few more

Im getting tired of Pep playing russian roulette with the line-ups. We havent been played off the park in any game this season, we've lost games because of the way we set up and over-complicated tactics. This defeat is on Pep

it's crazy shit, you play on Fifa with your little lad, giving him a chance,

our back 4 has been all over the place all season and even worst after the world cup and it's so painful to watch
with the amount of class we have going forward, our defence's crazy setups by pep are the key to letting weaker teams have a chance when really we should be head and shoulders above them.

just go and sign a fucking left back, it's so simple and easy to see we have nothing in the squad at left back good enough for the standards of the world-class attacking/midfield/centre backs players we have

ONE FUCKING SIGNING will change every thing on the left and in this squad

 

[BlueAnorak]

Total bag of shite.
I pity those who went down to see that.
