Southampton (A) - Post Match Thread

[mat]

So....

Anyone notice the difference it takes to check VAR if you wear blue instead of red?

We got a point. A couple of years ago we wouldn't have.

We keep improving. If Pep stays we will break Arsenal's record at some point.

Still top.

Merseyside piss simmering nicely.

We didn't play anything like we can, just one of those days.
Hopefully we'll return after the break with all guns blazing.
Every team has these games, it's what makes the CL a lottery.
We'll win the league though, by at least 10 points

City played some great football in the 2nd half. We are playing away from home against a notoriously hard pressing team and conceded an early goal which that player will never be able to repeat again. It took us too long to get to grips with the game and when we got to the byline and pulled it back we rarely found a player. But we also went very close to winning this game after a difficult start.

Yes we played some good football after almost conceding the second, but the first half was abysmal. We had like 5-1 shots, 3-4 of those came in the last 5-6 minutes of the half. But realistically apart from Raheem's chance we did nothing. Just don't play Kev, and Foden in particular, in-between lines because it just doesn't work, their ball turn over in the first 30 minutes was disgusting and we still continued playing into their hands. All losses to Chelsea the last season were like that, them and CP at home the same.

Fuck off, and when you get there, fuck off a bit more until you can’t fuck off anymore but just on the off chance you can. Fuck off a bit more.

Come down
We all want our team to succeed and i hope grealish can settle and score goals

 

[Gingers Dad]

I disagree with every poster who says we were bad in the first half. Maybe not our best but definitely not bad.

Sterling scores the tap in and we go in level and nobody says we were poor first half

 

[WestGorton]

Grealish and Walker really good. Much better second half. We still need a striker.

They had a goal disallowed that went to VAR.

It was a foot offside, not sure even the bent lines could solve that one.

From Wikipedia - has that been edited or is this true ?

Definately true.

All day long. Richard's calling it orange.
Cherry red for me.

Shows how stupid pundits can be time after time always calling serious foul play "An Orange Card". They say "It's worse than a yellow but not a red".
Well if it's worse than a yellow then the next card after that is a red you fucking bellends.

That today was a stone wall red card.

That header against the post was a mile offside, why they discussing it as a chance missed for them? Imbeciles.
So they discuss the none red and all say its a red yet no criticism of VAR for not referring it. It doesn't matter if it was a slightly glancing studs up follow through, that's a red all day you fucking cheats!
