Southampton v City pre-match thread

Good to see Kompany involved in pre-match training. Surely he'll start.

I think bravo will get the nod again this weekend.

Very unlikely, but is anyone selling a couple of tickets? My brother and I (both seasoncard holders) happen to be in Southampton for the weekend so if you or anyone you know can't make it we'd be happy to buy at face value.

Big error Pep.

Pretty simple mate,

He is fully aware he ain't getting a new contract and no longer has the heart for it. It does make you wonder what his intentions were when he was putting in 100%. In all likelihood he was playing for the contract, but surely he should still be running his arse off even though it is clear he wont still be here

Navas has been garbage for years, and is leaving; but I appreciate the effort he is putting in despite it being so obvious he wont be here next year

I hope people show you more respct when you're getting towards the end of your glittering career as the top person in your role in the world !!

Just watched Leicester V Atletico (terrible pen decision). Vinnie and Zaba apart, why can't we defend like that against the elite and present an awkward obstacle in and around our own box ? Now a leg race to the finishing line for us. Our better players should be busting a gut to play. Sane has to play against Southampton. Had plenty of time to recharge the batteries. I really don't get all this 'he needs a rest' stuff. We aspire to be an elite club, but we already have an elite training and medical regime designed to strike the right balance to ensure players are as fresh as possible at this stage of the season.

They're far from shit, but on the other hand they've already reached the 40 point mark yet haven't a hope of catching Everton for a European place. We should want this a lot more.

If Bravo plays, Southampton will target him as the weak link and a lot of our fans will start to fear the worst. Hopefully, we'll get to 3 - 0 up after an hour and Southampton will decide not to waste their energy.
