Southampton (A) | Pre-Match Thread

Not sure how to really mix it up, but would go for this (obviously Pep won’t):

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Foden
Torres
Aguero

Fear the worst here, they improved their play a lot this season, and they did us last season with same old 20 shots for City, 2 shots for Soton and 1-0 they won.

They play Arsenal away tomorrow, if they manage to win that, their confidence will be sky high, also they will be 2nd or 3rd on the table maybe even joint top, and the chance of going 9 points clear on City is what the weekend game would be about for them.

This has defeat written all over it, a fast team who will be licking their lips at the thought of playing us. Just pick this fucking side Pep and I can forgive you, Ederson, Walker, Ake, Stones, Dias, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Torres, Mahrez, Aguero.

Subs: Steffen, Rodri , Cancelo, Laporte, De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Can’t wait for this.

Me either, only 4 sleeps!

 

[Don Karleone]

Southampton to win is 6-1

 

[blue for life]

I fear a comprehensive defeat. It will be difficult viewing. We just have no spark at all this year.

 

[citytill1die84]

Major improvement needed.

Honestly wish Pep would try something different.

Ederson

Dias Stones Laporte

B.Silva KDB Rodri Gundogan Sterling

Aguero Jesus

Certainly worth a try lol

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Lumping on a 0-0 . Which will be one defeat in seventeen games , terrific.

 

[Damanino]

I voted draw but currently 70% voted a loss. :)

 

[deano ou812]

Southampton to win is 6-1

Was just gonna post this,think I will go in big on this,honestly can’t see us winning ..

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Hope this fixture doesnt prove too embarassing for us. :( Whatever team we put out will have 70% possession. Create 2/3 chances and hopefully put 1 away. Lets hope therefore Southampton dont score 2.

 

[Danamy]

We'll certainly need to move the ball quicker than we did tonight, Southampton press high up the pitch and if they force enough errors we'll get punished
