southampton are that sort of team you just don't know how it will pan out on the day
they will setup with a back 5 and 4 midfield and one up top and defend the box

city and pep know the first goal changes everything and city take the early chance southampton have to come out
but if city are sloppy early and let them score its going to be a long day and we can panic

from last season pep changes after champions league games was sterling and jesus up front in the premier league
so i can see that again and KDB and foden will get a run out and one holding in gundogan or fernandinho
walker and cancello dias ake in defence

Fair play to Ake tomorrow if he plays. Couldn't imagine how he's feeling right now.

I think pep said those comments as he wants more of an atmosphere. Not about attendance. He just want us to be loud to push the team. Constant songs etc. It seems to be a rallying cry to us. To make our stadium more intimidating to play in for opposition teams. That's what pep wants probably.

Sorry you are not well, covid is still a risk unfortunately

If rodders is out dinho will have to play else he would be at cb i think

Any thoughts on trying Kyle?

 

[Northblue]

Just 865 tickets left - you know what it is going to be the best crowd of the season so far and will probably sell out.

Out of interest how are you checking this? Do you just tot up the number of available seats in each block?

 

[Phil1]

The Stones situation has pissed me off far more than anything else that's happened over the last day or two.

 

[Gabriel]

Think Ake will play.

 

[lionheart]

He's a Drummer, used to be in prog rock band ELP

Presume you are jesting. The legendary Carl Palmer was the drummer in ELP.

Walker
