Southampton v City- Pre Match Discussion Thread

[xzbit04]

Disappointing not to get 3 points, have to buckle down and keep picking up points and hope for the best. Southampton are playing some good football and will give us a run for our money, which will probably suit us better than bus parking sides too. Also hope we don't pick up any silly injuries in the internationals mid week FFS

I predict a draw.

We need to get back to winning ways. Hopefully our strikers start finding form again. CTID. Any winning scoreline and strikers back to form please.

We need to be at 'em from the off. Silva was unlucky with that shot that Coco the Clown tipped over the bar - a yard either side and we would have been strolling with the Dzeko goal, but we seem to think that our quality will see anyone off in the second half. We need to inject the kind of pace into the game we saw to some extent for a small period in the second half. We also need to press the oppo much more than we did v The Dippers. But it's the bargain basement again and we always seem to struggle against these sides. 'Twill be interesting to see what game plan Pottocheeny comes up with.

And can we close down strikers and midfielders who have half a shot in 'em. To concede one goal to those kind of player can happen - to let it happen twice isn't good!

We need 3 points badly

3 points is a must, and a draw will be an hugely disappointing result, may as well be a defeat actually.

I've been extremely impressed with Southampton this season, so I foresee a draw.

Southampton have played very well in their recent games so we are in for a hell of a match.You say we struggle against these type of sides but as we have only won one out of 8 home games against the better sides it seems we struggle against them as well.

We need to get energy into the team from start to finish and it almost goes without saying we need to take early chances.

Think Southampton will win. We wont have the luck Utd had when they played them last week and with us mir firing at the moment and being slow in the middle of the park i think as they attack alot our midfield will be exposed again.

Extremely tough game against a very decent team,wouldn't be at all surprised to see us lose.
