We are trying very hard to help them back into the game. Another great motivational half time team talk from Ralph.

They'll get more familiar with each other and develop a style of play the more games they get together.

Come on Saints. You can beat this shit!

And with no red cards.

No sense of rhythm in the team. We look disjointed and keep giving them the ball back. They will punish us if we keep this up.

I don't think we can rely on them being worse than us. They will surely improve as the season goes on.

Ralph's expression and body language today was not his usual. Face down. Looked pretty low at the end. Almost like he knows this is his last game. Maybe I'm just trying to be positive

No need to panic Saints. We are only one win from being level with Liverpool..

Chasing shadows here. A mixture of City being sublime and our players totally lacking in belief and energy. Don't expect to beat City but you hope we'd at least put in some effort.

Team was really static there until it was too late. Real lack of effort being shown which makes you wonder if they are no longer behind the manager.

Sorry chap More optimistic: Maybe we'll have a shot toward their goal in the next 45?

We don't really stand a chance against the megabucks of City to be fair. Totally different class of investment. Ralph will still be here for a while yet..

You just can't argue with the stats and results in the last 20 or so games. We are not good enough for this league. Too many shortcuts.

Might as well wait until after Man City before he goes. Maybe he can make it a hat-trick of 9-0s.

Broja might have stuck some of the chances away? Hard to say how he might have improved us in adding an extra dimension to the attack.

The squad is weaker than last year. A few with potential but we are a lot weaker up front. Not sure if any manager could do better. But we've got to let one try. Ralph's totally out of ideas.

Can't see that happening, there hasn't even been a suggestion of it from anywhere. He'll be here until we are in the bottom 3 at least.

It was a huge gamble. We have to hope we can hang on and survive. But the lack of high quality attackers and a decent back up option in goal is a big worry.

Looks like it's going to be a long season... Squad under resourced. Manager out of ideas. Feels very bleak at the moment.

Survived with 0-0. Hopefully some time to correct the mistakes at half time and do better second half.

Toney must be really pleased with that...

Pope has looked poor over all in my opinion. Struggling with the pressure I think.

Stunning comeback. Germany have totally collapsed. Let's hope we can carry this forward into the tournament and believe and realise that we can score goals, if we are given the freedom to do so. Players have dug Southgate out of this one.

Just think, if he'd drop Maguire we might be winning. Surely his time is up after tonight.

WTF England!
