***pep's city v soton official match thread***

[Dub City]

Need to change the shape of the attack.

Get nolito on for sane and put sterling on the right

That should have been from the off.............no fucking idea why they persevere with Sterling on the left..hes fuckign just ineffective.

We had a season of him on left with shite results and he plays superb this season on right why shift him. Let him tear their left back apart on his first start there. Shocking

[PeterParker]

He needs to understand that 3-5-2 does not work in the league where if you are caught, you are fucked on the back

Stubborn fucker. Really

[phips]

Aguero offside......surely someone is taking the piss now

why? that's the rule. if youre offside and you make an attempt to play the ball even if you dont make contact (such as Aguero jumping for a header & missing) its offside.

Loving this aren't you Phips. If we would have gone level you wouldn't have said a fuckin word you prick

thats it. lash out with childlike irrationality when your "blame the refs" go-to fails to help you rationalize

Atmosphere is atrocious

The fans are fuckign wank at creating it......embarrassing.

The club should focus on ways to improve the atmosphere.

The knock on effect is massive.

maybe it would help if the players played like they gave a fuck?

[carolina-blue]

What a shite 1st half that was ,
we are so sluggish .
Passing has been atrocious.
Stupid errors all over the pitch
It's like they have never met before
Absolutely shocking.

[Original Dub]

Doesn't explain all the empty seats.

[Nigels Tackle]

Doesn't explain all the empty seats.

on the back of recent performances, mase hasn't bothered today. i'm sure there are many others in the same boat.

[PeterParker]

Does anyone have a decent Joan for the second half?

Said the same here.
The team is not balanced.
This is the poorest I've seen us in a long time.
Stones..... too casual and has been for a few games now.
Kompany... after the break he's had should stick to 5-10 yard passes and not try these 35 yard balls that he was never any good at.
Silva and KDB.... wake the fuck up.
Sergio ..... release the ball earlier.
Gundogan...... get things going quicker

Sterling is lost as usual out left.
Sane is engaging two of them each time but getting the ball to nobody. I'd sacrifice him.
I still don't understand why Pep won't give him a go on the left.

We're toothless up front so really need to cut out these stupid gifts to teams.

So you reckon the fans are protesting because of how we play...

Should we sack him now if that is the case?

Serious question

[london blue 2]

The players need some more intensity. So lethargic. Boring the crowd to sleep.

If we drop more points the pressure will really start mounting. We look terrible.

[sheblue]

Come on kelechi

[Original Dub]

Kdb off.

Knew he wasn't right after that knock.

Still no nolito though

[london blue 2]

Strange

[phips]

Sterling starting on the right

[iwasthere2012]

KDB off Nacho on.
Interesting.

[nottsblue]

Nacho man on for KDB.

[nottsblue]

Souness wasnt far off the mark when he said we were treating it like a practice match. No intensity or pace or aggresiveness

[carolina-blue]

WT Fuck Sterling
Passing is shitc
