Free header for THB. Can't miss and he doesn't. 1-0.

Well we've had a shot at last.

Not a chance. Even opponents in the Championship had worked out how to counter Russball in the end. It took EPL opponents a few seconds. There's no evidence at all that Martin's style will ever be successful. None. Zilch. It's just not possible to score enough to counter the number of goals conceded by his teams. There really are no sunlit uplands.

When it's already accepted that relegation is a near certainty so might as well have some fun in the cup. That world

But not for us. 🙄

Just noticed this comment from RM when talking about his yellow card yesterday. "We had an apology last week (from PGMOL) about a decision that we weren't given. I didn't say anything after the game in the press, but today I am". Not that it changes anything though but hadn't seen it picked up elsewhere. Maybe I missed it.

Good point.

Why the hell not put that last minute free kick into the box? Instead it ends up back with the 'keeper. Bottom at last.

Pep worried.

Tall Paul gets a header on target.

Time to go long to Tall Paul.

Downes going off. Injured by an unpunished stamp on the foot.

We really don't have many ideas when we reach the heady heights of the final third.

Manning getting roasted again.

Have a shot FFS!!!!

What a dive.

Nearly 2-0 down already. Sloppy start to the half.

Armstrong on

Archer against the bar. Looked onside to me as well.

Lallana giving ref a well deserved earful.

Giving the ball away in our own half quite a bit. City playing in cruise control mode.

Man City rest easy knowing that Saints won't try a shot and will give it away eventually.

We were all over them for two minutes. Even got to the edge of their penalty area. And then passed back, put ourselves under pressure and conceded. Same old story.

Cross into the box and guess what? A chance. City one up.

Why not get a cross into the box when we get into a good position?
