Predictable really. When Man City has to win (because Liverpool have gone clear), they usually do. Saints played ok, but played a top team today that had to win. |  |

No disgrace to lose today. Man City looked more tired than we did at the end. We always looked like we could create chances, but sadly, seldom looked like scoring.
Crack on to the next game, heads up. |  |

Vestergaard was magnificent. We lacked cutting edge up front though. Redmond fluffed a chance that Sterling would have scored from. Decent performance though. I'm less disappointed at the end of this game than I was with the 2 dropped points at Arsenal. [Post edited 19 Dec 2020 17:17]

I think we missed a trick not bringing N’Lundulu on instead of Tella he really hit at them when he came on
No disgrace tho and the Viking played very well again | | | |

All the stats in our favour including pass accuracy against a side like City is excellent. Also attempts, on target etc and possession!
Just a shame the stat that counts was to their advantage
No disgrace, but may hve to settle for Europa rather than Champions |  |

He was. What a player he had turned out to be!
I think I would have pushed Theo up when Danny went off and brought on Armstrong or Redmond.
Oh well, Fulham next. Bring it on. |  | | |

I'll settle for that. It could easily have been 3 or 4 in the end which would have been a bit deflating. A big ask to expect Tella & N'Lundulu to have an impact when we're chasing a game like that.
Looking forward to seeing what Diallo can do against Fulham. | |

I think Ings' knee may have been bothering him a bit since he came back and that he was hoping it would improve. Maybe he came back too soon. He could well be out for a lot longer this time. Those knee ligament problems can plague you long-term once they start. On the plus side, he's going to be very happy to sign that new contract now. [Post edited 19 Dec 2020 17:27]

Tella looks a bit lost , not sure he has touched the ball. |
I saw him get a couple of killer balls into the box, the only problem was there was no one there to tap them in. | | | |

Yeah fair play once he went out wide he touched the ball twice and put in good crosses |  |

Why didn’t we get a penalty when I think Stirling tried to control the ball it hit his thigh and up on to his elbow! | |

We weren't the right team to get that sort of penalty. If it had been one of our players who'd handballed it, of course it would have been given. Those close decisions still usually go the way of the big teams. At one point the ball hit Walker-Peters on the chest, a City player appealed for hand ball and Dean gave City a free-kick. He'd never have given it if a Saints player had been appealing for it. [Post edited 19 Dec 2020 18:26]

Interesting to hear Pep's comments about the match & Saints (“An incredible top side...”). The interview's available on Solent Sport's 'The Reaction' programme https://www.bbc.co.uk/programm about 55 mins in. This is becoming a theme now: Bruce, Wilder, Guardiola, ... Good to hear & worth more than views of the so-called pundits. [Post edited 19 Dec 2020 19:15]

A bit disappointed not to get a draw, but we put on quite a good showing, despite losing Ings and making some questionable changes.
Shame we couldn't hit the target when some excellent chances were presented to us, but we laboured a bit at the end and despite trailing, yet again failed to up the urgency stakes and do something different, such as route one, or play it into the box early.
All change for the next game then. No Rom and presumably no Ings - hopefully it is nothing serious and he will be ready to outgun his former Scouse team mates. I would also drop Djenepo to the bench.

Not really that disappointed as the better team won and we put in a decent shift. Perhaps could ha s sneaked a point, but we can’t say we were robbed. | |

Thought Saints showed today why they are so high in the league, more than a decent side, with a top manager. I said after *that* match that I hoped he wasn't sacked, and the owners, players, fans and RH are reaping the rewards now, it's grewat to see.
Thought the result was just about right, we missed a few gilt-edged chances to wrap the game up, although more than a goal gap would have been harsh on Saints.
Not getting the complaints about Dean, he certainly doesn't favour us, I can assure you of that, you only need to a search on bluemoon to find that out. Thought a couple of the bookings were wrong, including de Bruyne's. |  |

Look forward to seeing diallo
I would give n’lundulu a go up front, it’s Fulham and their defence is poor plus they lost a CB last night | | | |

This... And also that near kick in the face that ings got in the area.
The other way around ? It would have been a nailed on penalty |  |

I thought the high boot was much more of a penalty than the handball.
That high boot would have been a dead cert of a free kick anywhere else on the pitch, possibly even a yellow.
oh well | |

I wouldn't have given either as a penalty, though I wouldn't have complained if they were. | |
