Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

And are second just think if we hit form we will win the league by 10 points! Don’t like us losing games but that loss could be a blessing! Champs league and premier are our priorities! Going to be a tight league right to the end oh at least two less games for us!
That's a very big if though. We haven't won 4 league games on the bounce all season
 
You can usually tell after 5 minutes if we’re gonna be shit and usually it’s spot on. Tonight you could tell after 1 minute when Cancelo totally over-run a simple control and gave it away in a dangerous position

Pep had a shocker tonight. Team selection was a disaster. Couldn’t believe the number of people pre match saying it was a good team he picked

Walker at centre half is an experiment that is always a car crash waiting to happen. Gomez isn’t good enough for the PL never mind an elite team. Cancelo is on the worst form of his career. That defence meant we were always up against it tonight
 
I disagree, actually. Philips reminds me of Rodri when he first started learning from Fern.

It's a big responsibility to come to a top team and just expect to marshall the mid. Cancelo took that role tonight, over Philips.

Philips shouldn't be overawed and needs to grow a pair, like he did at Leeds (see Grealish as well).

It's his position, not Cancelo's, if they ever play together again.
I hope I am wrong but Phillips is a mature player not a kid. Let's just sign Bellingham.
 
I satewith my missus tonight and watch the game do you what is watch she said to me what is wrong with man city why to the always kick the ball to The left side that is Southampton tonight pep as good as he has been I have totally lost believe we will lose on Saturday he aiways over thinks and then sends our best players on too late I wish I was wrong champs league final please pep don't think your players are over tired cos they are lot prick
 
For the first 15-20 minutes of games Pep has us playing walking football back and forth across our own half .

When do the players cop heat for playing that way? Surely there's enough talent there if they see a opening to try and seize it despite what the instructions are, or create them.

For me tonight's result is on the players on the pitch. From what Pep said they didn't prepare well and they got what they deserved. Pep isn't perfect but the players were woeful.
