Then you're mental.

I like the look of Ben Gibson at Middlesbrough.

Exactly my feelings on the matter.

Exactly my feelings on the matter.

Yep, should be a nightmare for teams with weaker defenses.

People being very harsh on Clasie and probably focussing too much on those two shots, thought he won the ball well on a few occasions and moved it on quicker than some others.

Well that's the point, when there's 4 or 5 times the amount of people it dilutes the atmosphere. Sitting on the left of the stand I wouldn't have heard anyone starting chants anymore than a couple of blocks to the right of me if that, so wouldn't be able to join in. Whereas 3 or 4 blocks worth of fans who all want to join in all the time will concentrate the noise.

Think Heaton or Pickford would be shrewd signings in the summer to replace Forster who we can sell to Liverpool.

Good point, could of won.

Whats the mentality with kicking like that from Forster? Get the ball as far away as possible?? ****ing idiotic.

JWP ffs you massive ****ing moron, what was the point in that??????????????????

Not true - you see players with their feet off the floor all the time. Tadics final ball uncharacteristically poor today.

Why is it I only ever see foul throws given AGAINST us?

When attacking freekicks we NEVER pick the ball up on the edge of the box when it's initally cleared. Really frustrating.

Martina well out of line with the rest of the defence.

****s

Boufal on for Tadic halfway through the second half could be a masterstroke (if we're still winning) as he seems more capable of creating something by himself for himself, which could be valuable if other players are sitting back.

First question on half time analysis - "How good have Southampton been?" Excellent, focussing on us! "They've been fantastic, but you have to say City..." Sigh.

Putting my critical hat on, I think Forster should have been coming out for that ball.

Hopefully Sam McQueen learns from that. Pathetic freekick to give away.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

But he's been in some good positions with no defenders near him when Tadic has wasted crosses from out wide. Something to keep tabs on.

Miles onside.

Always do in the first half - conserves energy and allows us to continually improve our performance after halftime right up to the end of the game. Look at how many of our goals have been scored in the second half this season.

Near post corners statistically result in the most goals so I can always understand going for that. I think it's tactically smart actually. Extra forward player means our weakened fullback positions won't be able to get forward as much, leaving our 3 attackers to get past 2 DM and 3 CBs.
