The Skipper

What about our performance against West Ham then? Sam Allardyce is an excellent manager that really knows how to drill his side. We've done it enough times this season.

It's not like we didn't attempted the shots though. Southampton just made a lot of last ditch tackles that prevented the final shot from being taken. I honestly have no complaints simply because we tried hard today and just came up against a very well drilled side. It happens.

Also, why is everyone acting like City will forever be in good form? Wow. This place is just awful sometimes.

Why are people taking this "one shot on target" stat as gospel? There were plenty of chances we created that were only stopped with a last ditch tackle that prevented the shot. We created a lot, but Soton defended very well.

I thought Jose's XI today was fine, and we certainly reacted in the right way after going down and after HT. Just unlucky today. Not going to complain about anything Jose did tbh, doesn't deserve it for this game because we played well enough to win it, just wasn't our day.

We play like we did in the 2nd half against Newcastle and Sunderland and we win those games for sure.

Fine, ask questions in the relevant threads then, because the performance we put out today was good enough to win it, we were just very unlucky today. That 2nd half was the best we've played in some time (bar the West Ham game).

The overreaction on here is incredible, we were phenomenal in the 2nd half but just very unlucky. That's just football sometimes.

Mourinho always says this team is still working on that winners mentality... It's coming, be patient.

Fabregas and Hazard were phenomenal. So unlucky.

He hadn't done that bad lol?

Can we all appreciate how good Luis is going forward? Wow.

Replace him with Reus and we're set.

Mikel's extra defensive prowess and loss of creativity is countered by Luis' inclusion. Very nice XI IMO.

No Clyne, music to my ears.

Targett, kid is the new Luke Shaw.

I actually thought this was the Torres thread

It's on the CFC website pal.

Sorry, what message exactly?

Actually a very good player, just have someone very similar on the team (Ramires) so honestly, I'm calling bs.

Commentators are absolutely clueless most of the time.

Matic is the rock, Fabregas the heart, Hazard the spark.

How was that for a goal out of nothing?

Willian had a very good game but was mega frustrating in the final third, kept making the wrong decisions at the crucial moments. He was pretty great in everything else though.

We were brilliant, haven't played that well in a while. Gave Diego my MOTM for his goal and assist. Brilliant performances all over the pitch from Hazard, Matic, Azpi, Bane and Diego specifically.
