Shit…just fell short.
Not surprising, tbh. Pleased with how we played though, city know they’ve been in a game.
Did Mike Dean win?
Cant see what Tella brought to the game playing in the centre.
Redz?
Ings crocked again.
Expected a defeat
We March on
I’m really proud of Saints today. Context is incredibly important and the following list demonstrates the disgusting and disproportionate amount of money that City have spent relative to us (and many others), yet on two occasions KDB, arguably the best player in the premier league, twice took the ball in to the corner flag.
When Guardiola and Klopp are crying about wanting five subs, Pep brings on just the one sub. Oh, and he cost them £60m. Whereas we brought on two academy lads.
Each corresponding number is £ Sterling. Saints have never spent more than £20m on a player (Ings/Carrillo). Perspective.
Emerson - 35
Walker - 50
Stones - 50
Dias - 65
Cancelo - 27
Rodri - 63
KDB - 55
Bernardo - 43
Gundogan - 21
Sterling - 50
Torres - 21
Mahrez - 60
Sterling masterclass in saying absolutely nothing during an interview.
We played well and a draw or even a win wouldn’t have flattered us. As so often lack of final product, we look a bit toothless in front of goal at times apart from Danny before he did his knee. He’s probably our only clinical striker and will be a big miss again, let’s hope it’s not too serious.
Why has he got orange lips
Would you have anything worthwhile to say if your hair looked like that?
Revlon Burnt Sienna, I believe
Danny Hamstring apparently
I thought you said Danny Higginbotham?
Make your mind up!
Indeed, but I am much happier supporting a side whose players develop into much better ones through coaching and whose Together as a team are much greater than the Individuals…
Buying a side on mo et from Arab princes masquerading as commercial
Sponsorship is easy. Doing it the way do is far more satisfying.
Proud of the lads approach and effort and we will be generating many new fans through the way we want to play
I loved what RH said in post match.
‘We never lose, we either win or we learn’
Sums up what I love about this man as a coach.
We played well but maybe should have gone more direct in the last 10, maybe we can’t do it that way, irrespective this is a good loss if ever there is such a thing.
A bit of a philosopher is our Ralph by the sound of it, a bit more to him than your average football coach. Sam Allardice he’s not. He’s a fine pianist apparently, one of the first things he had shipped over when he settled at Saints was his Steinway baby grand piano.
Disappointing, but a good performance. We matched them except for finishing one chance. Vestergaard is looking more and more like VVD2, such an evolution from last season. I liked Che’s game too, bit good everywhere except Redmond, sorry to say.
But Mike Dean won it for them. Missing a blatant yellow, clear handball pen and another possible for the high boot on Danny. At the other end, they would have been given. Loved Ralph’s diplomatic comments (and Prime weren’t even going to mention the handball). “You would think with a referee and VAR they get it right, so you have to accept it”. Translation: “With and experienced ref and VAR, how the fuck did they not give that?”
I had a look on Blue Moon
“Massive win” against “quality opposition”
“Was shitting it”
We have come a long way
Absolutely right. To be fair, some nice words from Guardiola in his post match interview.
“It’s difficult. They don’t allow you to be compact, that’s why they are so good. That’s why they are creating problems. They have the best free kick taker I have seen in my life in James Ward Prowse. Ralph is doing an excellent job. It’s a good result for us”.
We’ll make a happy clapper of you yet @b
Pep never seen Juninhio then
