Southampton Vs City Pre Match Thread

4-5-1 and we win this, the team should be buzzing after the midweek result and Chelsea dropping points today. Really need to take the chance to close the gap as Chelsea won't drop many more points anytime soon. Unfortunately, I can see Pellers going 4-4-2 for this. Jovetic hasn't started the last few games and he seems to be obsessed with equal rotation regardless of form or anything else. If we can go on a nice unbeaten run between now and Christmas, and given the fixtures we really should be doing just that then we can put some real pressure on Chelsea and force Mourinho to crack as he usually does, then we'll see what they're made of.

We do only have two fit forwards and Pozo so that makes me think Pellegrini will go with one up top.

Think Kun will pull something out of the hat for this one and get us over considering the form he's been in this season. We won't be able to win it without him.

Being a Sunderland fan, I take a simplistic view of football.
City beat Bayern, Bayern are better than Southampton....
City to win

Fuck me, you've lost it big time. Judging by your username, you live close enough to God's own city to know that that is not how City work.

I know where you are coming from.....Chelsea dropping points yesterday I think has made this game even bigger....everyone assumed they were this runaway juggernaut.....
But for once, you can reel them back in ever so slightly....
(refer to Rocky II, where Rocky gets butchered for several rounds by the machine that is Apollo...but suddenly wins round 8...and belief spreads that he could do it (it may not have been round 8))...
