Southampton (A) - Post Match Thread

[Marvin]

I thought Grealish was good throughout.

Good 1st half. Faded in the 2nd

I thought City were possessed in the 2nd half and just didn't get any luck. Could easily have had a pen, and seen Saints go down to ten. Lots of almost moments. Some games just don't go your way.

Only de Bruyne was excellent today and that was only in the second half, nobody else was excellent, and Grealish was quiet second half despite being quite good first half.

Kev wasn’t excellent today. None of them were. He was better than quite a few who were well off the pace, but I thought he looked knackered for the last 20-25 minutes.

Just played Arsenal away, Chelsea at home, Southampton away, and emerged with 7 points from 3 really tough games. I'm happy with that.

We've just won 12 on the trot ffs!!!

Each game is a new start regardless of how many we won.

I’m happy with a point but we could of easily lost that tonight

Player of the month !!!

I bet he won’t be next month

 

[SWPISHOME]

This place is going to be incredibly fun when we lose...

We missed Mahrez today, pleased he’s back.

I think that LB for them would have savaged Mahrez and kept him quiet that way.

 

[HelloCity]

Exactly we dominate & dont win.

hahahahaha

Just listened to Pep in his post-match interview. Bizarre..to say the least!!!
I think we now know who was out on the lash with Raz and Jack….

What did he say?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I didn’t think he was excellent today but he was better than Foden, Sterling and Bernardo.
Kev too in the first half.
I do think he had a good game though, maybe that’s me being harsh cos of the shite around him today.

I think he did well against a packed defence. Maybe excellent is a bit much but I rated him.

KDB had a gave of two halves. Mediocre at best in the first half and excellent t in the 2nd half

The first 32 minutes, it was a shit show. They were pressing our front middle two like crazy, we were not going wide, we definitely didn't try to get behind, we were doing a lot of short futile passes like totally dazed and confused, Jack was coming back inside and it was complete quagmire in MF. We didn't try to double up on the wings, both KdB and Foden particularly ineffective when playing in between line with their back to the goal. It all changed when Pep realigned them in 2HT, but once we start chasing games and there is no individual quality, we start creaking on the seams. I am just pissed off with this established pattern how we end up conceding idiotic goals and than almost falling apart.

Is that a joke?
