No sympathy for the Saints, they could've at least made it a game going into the last 20 but the manager just gave up and decided to try and hold out. I was listening on the radio and it seemed all Southampton who should've gone on to win it. Instead, they decided to sit back and try and soak up the pressure. Ridiculous idea.
The game did show how vulnerable United are though, only putting real pressure on Southampton when Southampton let them. Those changes allowed Taggart to throw caution to the wind and instead of Saints fans singing all the way home, their manager just left a flaming turd on their doorsteps.
United sounded all at sea yet somehow carve out a result. That's what irritates me, why put on a good show to then bend over and take it up the ricker like they did? Defeats the whole principle of sport.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".
