Southampton (A) | Pre-Match Thread

Foden is shit? Are you on the wum? He's the brightest young prospect we have and puts a shift in when played. Get behind the lad or get back to ragcafe or rawk! :

No blue says phil is shit

The worst feeling as fan of this Club for 30 years is I'm no longer looking forward to watching us, literally so indifferent about today's match I'm not going to rush home, I've got presents to drop off and flowers to put on graves and would ordinarily be planning my day around us kicking off. That isn't being spoilt, I actually look back rather fondly of some of our League 1 and 2 games as that was when I was first dragged to Maine Road even though we were shit but I think I've fallen out of love with football.

 

[Ribchester]

Good to see a lot of positivity is coming back, I’ve just changed my vote from draw to win. Get your shooting boots on blues!

Think I might change mine to a draw from a loss

 

[kaz7]

I have gone for a draw , surely we can manage that

 

[Akpowell]

That’s the spirit mate. Haven’t you learnt anything during your time supporting city?

Can't see scousers losing 4 games

 

[remember arthur mann]

No way am I worried about City today but recently Pep has been turning into Hughes, you just don't know what potty team he will put out.

 

[nellyonthewing]

I'd be amazed if we don't come out flying after the disappointment of the last few games. The cynic in me thinks that will be a blip and not a corner turned.

You’ll just have to take your red tinted glasses off then

I would have to agree ... and make that 5/6 games as we still have that customary Anfield loss to come ... today, they're 3-0 up and it's not even half time ... looks like we will be 11 pts behind by the time we kick off.

This would be true this season. They are not playing particularly well this season but they are ruthless in front of goal and our forwards are struggling to score. Unfortunately no one is the league is challenging them. Capitalising on their shitty defence.

It’s not where we are in December. It’s where we are at the end of the season. Don’t write City off yet

Dippers 3-0 up at HT despite two high intensity seasons and a shed load of injuries. There‘s a danger of them getting outta sight unless we get our shit together very soon.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Wow, this is the first time I can actually remember where a majority of us think we are going to lose. And at Southampton FFS. They are not Barca in their prime, are they.

We could, should and will do these. 2-0 City.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

If we do end up 11 points behind them today there is no way we're catching them

We were never going to be anything like close TBF. Far to predictable and getting boring now. Teams know exactly what to do...Pep needs to stand up and show the league what he's capable of, if indeed he is.....slow build up, ending usually with nothing and the break aways are laughable. We've been laughing at Untied for years now but cant see it this season TBH. That goblin faced, gormless, clueless suedo mancunian will be having the laughs this season I'm afraid. That's what really hurts.

4-0 ...

Current form tells us we’ll lose. We keep hoping we’re going to turn up and smash someone but we’re not improving at all. Getting worse if anything.

Kinell. The world’s best midfielder is on the end of one now.

But seriously, Klopp sees Pep as a fast retreating speck in his rear view mirrors now. It’s down to whether Pep can engineer a big revival, ideally starting today.

 

[Akpowell]

Draw at best today

 

[MAG]

Draw at best today

It's just become an ABSOLUTELY MUST WIN now

 

[LucahArchie10]

People need to forget about winning the league this team or squad of players is miles away

What this team needs is a steady 11 starting players fuck rotating unless its Cup games

We have to many players not good enough & the rest nowhere near there best form

If it means boring our way to victory then craic on but forget the attacking masterclass of 17-18 & 18-19 this set of players just can't produce it

I don't have a clue whats going to happen today, reminds me of travelling down to Main Road in the Pearce, Hughes days

We have huge problems even against shit & average teams

Don't think our record at Southampton is great so I don't expect anything more than a point?

Right now top spot is light years away but gaining confidence can only be done by choosing the right 11 to start & that means fucking 3-4 players right off

I would even go 3-5-2 just to try something different

Ederson
Stones Dias Laporte
Walker Cancelo
Fernandinio
Kev Bernardo
Torres Sterling
