Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

[citymad]

I think we struggle when teams have a go at us and Southampton had a go and weren't afraid. We get an easy ride when teams sit back, we almost always get a win.
Regarding tonight's game it was a shocking team selection by Pep, absolutely no urgency shown by the players, sideways and backwards all game.
Still think we'll do the rags, come on City.

TBF we've seen a lot of that now that we don't play with width.

Cancelo gave the ball away 3 times in the first 90seconds,watch again if you don’t believe me. He was absolutely garbage tonight,utter shit

His first touch of the game when he tried to control it and it bounced 10 yards straight to a Southampton player set the tone. He lost it again twice in the next 90 seconds and that was as good as it got.

Apart from the one obvious signing you’re right.

Not sure what we could have done about Fern given his age, but I’m still disappointed we let Jesus and Zinc go.

They WANTED to go.

Tells you all you need to know when the Tarquins are gutted we're out.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

For the remainder of the season Ederson, Ake (at LB) and Rodri somehow have to play every game!

 

[bondsman]

Hasn’t been a lot better on the left this season. His passing has gone to shit no matter what side he’s on. His first touch is like playing it off a wall. His concentration is awful.

He flatters to deceive for me. Can’t be trusted in big games either.

I'm glad we are out of it and don't have to play two additional massive games at a crucial part of the season.

Bull shit

Let’s be honest, this season we have been dire to watch far more often than we’ve been good to watch. There are some big issues in the squad. If we stay in the title race then it’s because Arsenal will have managed to implode somehow. We’re not good enough.

 

[Semper aggressus]

They WANTED to go.

They wouldn’t have if we’d done more to keep them.

We were awful, plenty has been and will be said about the poor performances, but that kit clash couldn’t have helped.

Peripheral vision basically useless. At times it genuinely looked like players were struggling to quickly determine which were teammates and which were opposition. Happened even with the players coming on in the second half.

I’d include whoever approved wearing the third kit in the match ratings with a -1/10.
