Another clean sheet.

My thoughts exactly. Southampton have been superb and put more effort into that game than they have all season, they didn’t stop for a second.

Yes, we could have had a couple more and it was interesting that KDB took the ball in the corner to kill the game.

Yes,an important win but we can't hide from the fact we have plenty of problems to fix. Bernie had a good game other from being shit scared to shoot, to me the manager should be sorting that. Mahrez brought on and was dog shit , frightened by his own shadow. Phil at his worst would be 10 times better. Rodri was pathetic all game. Kdb needs a long rest , not just physically but mentally as well.

I still believe we are a top striker away from being ok again, defence is sound, stats prove it, so come on City sign Haaland

Perhaps now is the time for that cheeky Haaland bid ?
we should be chatting with his dad.

Dortmund lost at Union Berlin last night, the small club in Berlin, managed by Swiss guy Urs Fischer. Really nice guy .

Dortmund are in a mess and we should get him before the Munchkins start sniffing.

He isn't Spanish and scores goals for fun. Not a chance Pep will approve

If we had a world class forward who fills his boots we would have hammered Spurs and the saints WBA scoring a ton of goals. It needs sorting, we saw what can happen V WBA. I do hope January is not wasted or we may as well accept we are making up the numbers.

Was bizarre that the pundits and commentators were willing soton on so openly and trying to convince everyone that they would score and that we couldn’t play through their press.

So now we're a one man team? Hundreds of millions spent to be a one man team? We said the vermins are shit without van dick, well that theory went pants. Granted a top striker makes the difference but you still expect the team to contribute more than what's on show goal wise

Last season we scored over 150 goals. Aguero got roughly a fifth of them. Without his goals we still got 120 or so.

The other players need to practice their shooting and step up

Before the game I honestly would have pleased with a point.

Thoroughly professional performance and one which last season didn’t happen a lot. The game management was tip top.
The defence looks as good as it’s done for years. We missed chances again but if the defence keeps a clean sheet you only need one to go in. How many 1-0s did the rags get in the title winning years? Fucking loads.

The confidence that is now instilled in the defence is great and as long as we stay in touch and are there or thereabouts in March, we may well have another pot to polish

Away win, no goals conceded, against a team that have been performing very, very well this season. I'll take that all day long thank you.

I believe Pep has his eye on one competition only and it isn't the Premier League.

First time in 50 years I've avoided a game. Utterly pissed off with some of the players, Pep, VAR, the atrocious refereeing, the piss shit passing backwards, etc. Checked in here in the interests of science. Crazy times.

Please buy a striker. FFS, how rich are we?

I really enjoyed that performance and apart from a few brain fart moments, we were far the better side in all areas.
