Jesus that was unnecessary stressful

 

[jimharri]

Didn't break a sweat and the dippers and tarquins will run around like daft cunts and half kill each other for most likely a point each tomorrow. All good.

"like"?

Difficult while teams come and make it a frustrating game, and they say it’s us that’s ruining the game. Basically 21 players in or around the 18 yard box.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I’ll take that. Early in the season with so many injuries, taking 3 points is always the priority.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Didn't imagine we'd end up hanging on at the end! Regardless of who's playing, injured or not playing we need to work on how we convert chances into goals and maybe risk losing posession in the build up rather than letting the opposition get back into shape before we attempt to pass through them. Every team we play knows exactly what to expect.

It's not done much good for any of them in the last 4 years.

They can expect all they like, It won't stop their net being rippled.

 

[Shirley]

The Viking was too knackered to do any late pillaging

 

[CityFil]

With so many out because of injury I’m just happy for the 3 points.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

I think the way we celebrated at the end almost relief on some of the players faces I think was due to the fact we are tired running on empty and with so many injuries they just wanted that game over and done with… it must be hard to do this week in week out against a 10 man block at times glad it ended with a clean sheet… move on to the next game now

Heavy weather in nice weather.

 

[jimharri]

I'll raise you....

 

[shemnel]

I think it was routine, just poor finishing from Erling kept the score down (finished his hardest chance!).

Some ok performances, Savinho continues to be bright, but I really think that was a routine 3-0 if Haaland puts a couple of easy ones away.

 

[Brewster's millions]

We need another striker to bring on from the bench and add some impetus in games like this.

Or better still, play two up front and have more movement in the box.

Something we should seriously look at in January and I see that Delap scored again today.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Played every other team that plays us. Southampton will come out and play they said, like f..k they did. Camped out in their area then kick and hope. Well done reg nearly worked. Southampton foul? Play on you have the ball even if it was on the edge of the area, City foul a free kick and allow them to launch the ball.

 

[spacecadet]

A tough old game. Three in 6 days that we had to win all of them.

 

[Lemon7277]

Haaland looked bolloxed at the end.
Should have made it two, as well.

Said weeks ago selling alverez and not getting someone else in will more than likely come to bite us on the arse at some point

Not a sole in our current squad can step into that position and keep things ticking along with goals

 

[55yr old teenager]

Well that was a hard watch!! Main thing 3 points in the bag, top of the league.

 

[johnny crossan]

Has somebody pointed out 52 games unbeaten at home - anyway didn't altogether enjoy that - particularly last 20 minutes. Come back Jack quick.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Wasn't shite at all, just poor finishing, if the best striker in the world had his shooting boots on it would've been a thrashing.

Southampton were pathetic, 10 men inside their box and wasting time with 10 minutes to go at 1-0 down, hopefully they go down again because no one wants to see that shite.

That, detective is the correct answer.

No strikers of any note is going to sit and watch from the bench , we couldnt keep jules happy and he was a great young player, thor is the number one and we can revert to false nine at any time

 

[WallyA]

That would look better if Haaland finished mote but cant be upset with the team when they win.

The low blocks are not easy, no other team faces it as much as we do.
