The Boys in Blue didn’t give in, they fought to the end. Thank you lads. Well done.

Well you can certainly see why they've conceded 9 twice. Thought we were poor today but could have scored 9 ourselves. They are shambolic at the back.I don't know if it's a sign of how good we are, how bad Southampton are, or just a weird day, but we've won that at a bit of a canter, scored 5, had a truly ridiculously bent refereeing performance, yet genuinely think that was our worst performance in a long time. Seriously disjointed, massive gaps in midfield, horrible passing for the first half hour, but whenever we managed to string 5 passes together we looked like we'd score (and frequently did). Really weird game.
3 points is the important thing, one more win closer to the title. Need to regain our sharpness ahead of the CL games though because if we play like we did in the first half hour against a top side, the tie would probably be over.

Much needed win blues. I was a bit nervy coming into this because I couldn’t understand why we wouldn’t go hell for leather against the rags, local derby, 6 pointer......why not ??? Still scratching my head about it.
Anyway, great response from the team, Mahrez was beautiful....can’t find other words, he was almost perfect. Phil was Phil, everywhere, always looking to lay it off, receive it in tight spaces. Love the lad. He plays with the passion of a fan....
Big highlight for me was Aguero getting minutes, we know he needs games and we might just be witnessing a Pep masterstroke here as we get into the sharp end of the season. A fully fit and scoring Kun would make us unbeatable ......surely ?
Upwards blues !!

Forget about performances, these last 10 games is all about getting points on the board, by hook or by crook we get the 3pts any which way.It’s hard to be overly critical when you score five and a team comes to attack you, but this performance reminded me of the start of the season, albeit one of the better ones. All of our control in midfield, of setting the defence before we launch attacks, of making smart decisions seemed to evaporate. Very much a sign that our best team has Rodri, Stones, and Cancelo, but let's hope we get that control back before the CL games.
5 more wins.

Well, that was retro City, wasn’t it. They were the better team after we scored our 5th, which proper annoyed me because I was desperate for Kun to score.
Job done but defending has turned to shit just before CL. That needs to be fixed.
It's a very easy fix, you just drop Laporte.
It sounds harsh, but it's not complicated, Stones and Dias are the defensive partnership that looks brilliant. Zinchenko LB and right back depends on the opposition.

If Pep didn't decide to kill the game, along with a little help of our army of false nines and the defender formerly known as Americ Laporte, this could've finished as 11:4 or 13:5.
