Southampton post match thread

This is my point at half time it was a salvageable situation if he wasn't going to bring him on then why have him on the bench.

In my mind Pellegrini had already conceded the match before we started. Firstly, his position on wanting the match moved back to Saturday. It was never going to happen, so he decided to rest the majority of Wednesdays team because he is stubborn. Secondly, the team selection "on paper" looked strong enough to cope with playing with a game against Southampton - except they decided take the afternoon off and not to put a shift in. Bringing Aguero on was never going to happen because (a) Pellegrini did not want to risk Sergio playing, (b) The rest of the team were so shit it would not have made a difference and (c) IMHO - Pellegrini did nothing to suggest that the team were fired up enough to WANT to win this match.
So many posters on here of the opinion that most of today's team are not going going to be around next season. Maybe the players know that too.

That sums it up nicely, for me. Looked like they were sulking.

They did against Chelsea. One of the better ones-Manu Garcia looked lost against kids the other night.

That's one game, if we haven't got a better defender than Kolarov or a striker who poses more threat than Bony ( he doesn't pose any ) then I'm very worried about seeing any future first team players coming from our youth set up

On a humurous note someone posted a jib? of a horse dribbling a ball which was very funny. Don't know who it was but thanks for the laugh..on a truly awful match day.

It was funny that gif. However I also laughed at the Fern/ Demichelis substitution. That was baffling. I'm not into slagging the manager seeing how he has won titles with us but that was mind bendingly odd for infinite reasons.

You saw the jewel today. I like Nmecha but he's still way off. Angelino? Is he even playing football-but thats another discussion.
