Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

[Moss Side's Finest]

Forget league positions and Cups etc for a minute. The more worrying thing is we are playing miles from what is expected. Haaland has pulled us out of the shit with his goals this season. From the 70th minute against the rags at home we have been "off". I'm hoping we can kick start this season again on Saturday but we are seriously carrying too many off form players or players who haven't got the bottle anymore.

We've had our ups and downs over seasons we have won the league in the last 5 years. We always turn it around. Keep the faith

On the plus side, we have some tough league fixtures coming up and a two legged cup tie right in the middle of them probably wouldn't have been ideal.

We will get beat if we play like that . What he has to do is get us to be brighter on the ball, sharper in everything we do. Pep needs to step up.

we won't play like that because it will be a totally different team to the one that started tonight

His genius/mad axis is definitely shifting

He is becoming the main common denominator in a lot of our bad performances.

Not saying the players played well tonight.

The game was over at half time after another moment of Pep Genius in experimenting with that crazy system.

In other games against Brentford/Everton he has point blank refused to change what isn't working.Like it questions his genius and Ego.

It is becoming a bit of a theme.

Sure he acted earlier tonight.The game was done after his 45 minute moment of madness though.

Can we be totally honest and say that our goalie was totally to blame for the second goal, or can we say what a wonderful chipped goal ?
Be honest, would we be ranting what a wonderful goal it was had KDB scored it ??
A bad City goal to concede or a wonderful executed goal from KDB ??

We're SECOND!!

That shows some form of rhythm! Better rhythm would put us... FIRST!

It's not rocket science!

You are deluded if you think we played well before the World Cup.

We are second because Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and United have all been piss poor.

Being second in a 2 horse race isn't an achievement

Already over this , the semi-final draw has softened the blow , two scraps with the Geordies to get to the final will not be missed , title and champs league was always the priorities , Saturday was always going to be a big game because its a derby now its got more importance.

It’s not that bad Pep wanted this ! We have Bigger games and prizes to go for so let’s move on

I will, it could've been the quadruple:)

Havent you read the footy press? only the dippers can even dream of having a quad squad.

Problem for em these days is that they have to tie it all in with their one pl title every thirty years lol.

Being out of this cup might aid us in our persuit of the bigger prizes too.
