Southampton Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[Ballymagash Blue]

Not a good performance at all but a positive to see us grinding out some kind of result away against a good team when we are having an off day. Also if we beat arsenal next week then I reckon this will look a decent point.

When we beat Arsenal it will have no bearing on todays performance.

We look a long way behind Arsenal right now, but they have 4 very tough games before the end of the year (Everton and Chelsea at home, us and Newcastle away). If they're still so far ahead after all the fixtures have evened out, then fair play to them, and they'll probably win the league, but let's not panic just yet.

Only a fool would panic at this point of the season, and there are none of those around here, are there!

8pts from 8 games away from home...terrible..tactically wrong again today.over run in the middle of the park.not ommenting ln any of the players but in summary..all wank

or to put it another way, 4 points from the last 2 away games. Which is title-winning performance

lets face it we were shite and second best to a southampton side without wanyama or schneiderlin.


when will pellgrini learn, to beat these teams you first have to win the midfield battle, we never did.


we will not win the league with this away bollox

Our away results are improving

Could it of got any worse?

Having said that if it had seen as though you have your head constantly in the sand I'm sure you would not have noticed.

Poor performance and particularly annoying given the chances we squandered at 0-1 but i would have been happy with 7 points from the next 3 before the West Brom game and still will be.

However, the Arse manage to eat us and Chelsea then the title is theirs to lose

You can't blame Pellegrini for all those unforced errors today.

Anyway lads, it's saturday night, I have a pint, a curry on the way and City have got a point at one of the toughest away fixtures of the year and are currently sat in 4th just 2 points from 2nd and have to play the top team in a couple of weeks at home. We haven't lost or drawn at home and have scored 32 goals in 7 matches having conceded only 2. On the flip side, we haven't just lost at home for the second game on the bounce, it really could be worst!

Bluemoon in a nutshell!!!

Remember the Rags last season especially,getting lucky wins after playing badly and where did they end up ?

problem is that because we have dropped so many points already during this half of the season, december has become a month in which every game has to be won.

if we go into january ten + points behind arsenal we are going to struggle immensely, especially with Chelsea going for the title as well.

i do worry the results against cardiff, villa and sunderland will be looked back on at the end of the season as to why we didn't win the league, let's just hope it's not the case.

its a worry when we have to play all the top teams away from home in the 2nd half of the season
