Bravo, Stones, Kompany (C), Kolarov, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, Aguero
Caballero, Fernando, Nolito, Navas, Clichy, Otamendi, Iheanacho
Interesting, looks like back three again
I'm keeping everything crossed for Kompany...
Back 3 more out of necessity than design. We have sagna and zab out of action.
Guess Maffeo could have come in ...
Stones looked so composed in the early season! What's wrong with him?
Different manager; same shit! Southampton goalkeeper has not made a save - something has to change quickly.
Put Sterling back on the right for a start - and maybe Nolito on for Sane.
We are the tampon of doom
Garbage half. Totally lack lustre. They need a kick up the arse at half time.
Iheanacho on for De Bruyne?
51 minutes in, zero shots on target
:'(
Indeed. Put your foot through it and at least test the keeper!
Errr - just ignore what I said about taking Sane off... :)
Pah!
pep still god?
i know he was on the pitch but did aguero play?
Starting to question whether some of these players are good enough to play the way he wants
And that includes the players bought this summer
ill cut gundy and sane a little slack because of injury and they are both german internationals. if they are like this after xmas, fuck em
Undone again by a lapse of concentration and failure to keep a clean sheet.
Disappointing but not all that bad, we will improve now I'm sure
and staggeringly still top of the table :o
That was hard to watch.
I'm not sure anyone can come out of that with their heads held high. A special mention must go to the poorness of our passing.

Aye, considering we;re in melt down, how shit are the rest! :D
We were poor again today. No zip about the play, too many players walking around the pitch. It took for the 90 mins to tick over before we exerted any real pressure!
But hey ho, top of the league and the rags lost 4-0 8)

That is spot on, 10 games in the new manager effect wore off, players back to playing at 80% and not supporting and working for each other. Pep will not take that shit and the culprits can expect to be shown the door.

Lee, I think you will find that means do not blame me, blame Seluk for Yaya not playing when all Seluk has to do is say sorry to me and the club and then stay shut up Is that going to happen? Win win for Pep.
To be honest I can't really judge whether Pep was being genuine that he would love Yaya to be available or not. It is clear though that he is not mellowing about Seluk and the situation. It proper ruffles him when he gets asked about it still.

Yes, I finally got to watch the full replay of this game.yesterday, and the one thing that really caught my eye was our poor passing. I soon lost count of the number of passes we under hit- which inevitably put team mates under unnecessary pressure and slowed down our movement. Much of Southampton's passing was notably crisper and more precise.

You are spot on about that Pep definitely gets irritated when asked, the body language tells that story.
