That’s a starting XI set up for a draw if ever I’ve seen one. Doesn’t recent evidence suggest that throwing bodies at City’s ailing defence would have been worth a shot?

Nothing available on the bench to respond with if we do go behind. You’d take the point now really, wouldn’t you?

City were the only team that really fucked and toyed with us last season. I’ll take a non-embarrassing loss, but hope that we have a good game on our day.

That’s a solid set up.

Expect Clasie to come on for Romeu and Tadic for JWP to finish them off in the second half :lou_wink_2:

Zero out-and-out strikers on the bench is a mite worrying. Are the likes of Seager that far out of contention?

Juanmi is a striker, though we have seen v little of him in that role. More experienced than Seager though.

Yep. Juanmi on for Long to notch up Saints third.

Just see him as an enhancement to an attack rather than a man able to lead the line. Time will tell!

C’mon boys - straight out the traps and keep this unbeaten away run going.

There are reports of Juanmi being unsettled. Not fitting into the sedate Hampshire gentleman lifestyle :lou_eyes_to_sky:

Aguero spanked a little. No card for Wanyama.

Big Ron rocking a gilet.

Good save. Get over the jitters, Saints.

Bit of a rocky start, they seem to have come out the blocks on fire!

Oh dear Maya.

Should be at this game, if we decided to take any tickets!!!

Shitebox. Yoshi fucks up, Sterling pings past him, De Gruyne finishes.

Man City 1 - 0 Southampton
