Got home at 2am After the 140 mile trip home from the game, traffic a nightmare in southampton. We ran into jonny Evans at the services near Winchester. What a nice bloke, spoke to us and said the main issue was the conditions which were terrible. a complete performance against a poor side but the team spirit is as good as 2015/16 and the quality even better. Harvey Barnes was electric. ive has good and bad times watching the City home and away for over 40 years and last night was one of those special nights, just pleased i’d got my two sons with me to share it. ... with all the accolades for the performance, it is strange that the conditions have not been mentioned to any extent!!! You would think that with all the rain, wind and cold they would have wanted to get into a nice hot bath and begging to be substituted. The absolute joy on the players faces is amazing and beggars believe that it could have been done in those conditions. Different class......!!!!

Also, his assistant left in the summer and hasn't been replaced which can't be helpful. He definitely gave us a lift when he joined, but there are some question marks this season. The biggest issue though is that our squad isn't really good enough. It's pretty sickening when you see the talent that's gone and what we've replaced it with. I think I read Gao has a lot to answer for. When it's shit that high up, no manager really stands a chance. Of course I was extremely satisfied Friday for our display, not for the opponent. I'd have had to join a Forest, Cov or Derby board to gloat if it was one of those! There is about 18 teams In the PL above Southampton that deserve gloating over in my book! I didn't feel the need to gloat over Southampton. Can I ask a question please? I saw it on ESPN or somewhere and there was a good argument about my question. Do you think it was disrespectful for us to carry on after 5-0? I honestly don't believe it was and I think we showed you respect by playing on. How I see it is this: If we just stopped at 5-0, we’d have had to still keep possession. That to me only leaves limited options, one of which is showboating. I think that's disrespectful in some ways. Against 10 men and 5-0 up, I do think it is disrespectful in that sense. Also, records are there do be broken. Just curious. ✌️

That, er, set-up? for Tielemans' goal was amateurish defending. It wasn't a difficult ball to cut out yet he just seemed to knock it along without any care in the world. And it was a key moment in the game- if they'd kept it 1-0 for 20-25 minutes you never know but to gift us a goal 5 minutes after a red card was terminal in the match.
car1os Posted 28 October 2019 Posted 28 October 2019 Saw the ESPN commentary about our record all-time top flight away win... what a bunch of amateurs!! Can not believe they can confuse themselves with their own questions and statements. As to my opinion if it was disrespectful... no, we were not disrespectful for continuing to play. I thought the Saints team were disrespectful to their fans and their club for simply not trying. Im sure that if this was to happen to us one day I would wish the opposition would answer our pleas for mercy. But they shouldn’t. It’s a sport, and over the course of a long season we may be glad we put Southampton to the sword the way we did
Swiss_tony Posted 28 October 2019 Posted 28 October 2019 I enjoyed it so much, i made my family watch every minute of it.
urban.spaceman Posted 28 October 2019 Author Posted 28 October 2019 ^ worth watching for the players celebrating with the fans at the end
demon_dog Posted 28 October 2019 Posted 28 October 2019 I told my German workmate about the game. He didn’t believe me, kept saying nein, nein, I replied ja, ja.

Agreed, the Southampton fans I know are absolutely sound. I found it difficult to listen to their manager, Ralph Hassenhuttl, after the game - I must be getting soft in my old age.

ARTY_FOX Posted 29 October 2019 Posted 29 October 2019 How good was perez third goal though, better everytime I watch it.
Koke Posted 29 October 2019 Posted 29 October 2019 Neil Ashton said we were in a vindictive mood. Others have described us as ruthless, efficient, unforgiving, ferocious etc. These are the things I want City to be. Hopefully we will get a reputation being those things.
January47 Posted 29 October 2019 Posted 29 October 2019 One of the most impressive things was that the three who were getting criticised the most pregame were probably our best players......Perez, Barnes and Chilwell. fwiw I think Barnes will turn out to be the best of the lot. Reminds me of de Bruyne somehow.

What's pleased me most about the two big wins this season is how well we've killed the game against ten men. Three goals within 15 against Newcastle, two in 10 the other night. We've struggled enough ourselves, and been resolute with ten for long periods, to know it isn't always straightforward.
Master Fox Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Can someone explain to me the Pérez goal celebration sticking his fingers in his ear holes? Thanks

How is this even manageable? Even on a truly awful day the result should be 4-0 or 5-0,. At worst. 9-0 is completely unacceptable. because i wouldn't have angus gunn in our work's 6 a side game. and we don't even have a keeper.
