Agree with the above comments. No player should be dropped when they have deserved to keep their place, regardless of who they might be keeping on the bench. And given Forren hasn't played in some time, it will take more than training and development games to get to match fitness, given our new high-tempo pressing game.

Hard to answer, given the short time the change has been in effect. I won't say it has proven to be the right decision until the end of the season, as I wouldn't judge any manager on just a few select games. I like what I'm seeing, I'm over the moon with tonights performance and result, I think great times are ahead, but it's still very early days.

You just know both he and Morgan are going to get better and better with age and experience in this team. Exciting times ahead.

This Sky Sports write-up seems closer to my recollection of the game: http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/261816/report

Belief and positivity. That's the difference.

And long may he continue!

He seems to be a confidence player, as he is getting better with each game he plays well in. I'll withhold judgement until he makes a mistake to see how he reacts, but so far so very good.

I agree.

Couldn't agree more.

"Manchester City's title defence suffered a huge blow on the south coast as they gifted Southampton victory with a series of glaring defensive errors." ******s. Utter ******s.

What a game. What a result. What a match thread. What a performance from the fans at the game. What an improvement in league position. What a headache I'm going to have tomorrow.

100% this.

You know it has been an awesome game when Jos is doing *that* to Aguero.

I've been openly critical of Boruc, but never afraid to give praise where it is due. Boruc has been brilliant recently - Cool, calm, experienced, effective in games where he has had to keep us in it, as well as games where he has had rare moments of involvement. If this is the real Boruc, sign him up for next season please.

It's a shame this game is on ESPN rather than Sky Sports, as I want more than 7 people to witness this.

Are you Yoda?

Am I watching the right game? Am I drunk?

We need to invest in medical science and cloning techniques.

This is the most enjoyable match thread I've been involved with

Brilliant

JWP coming on, did I see?

I'm going to say something that will make you nod, laugh or cry.... JRod off for Lee.

How the feck did Boruc keep hold of that. Quality.

I corrected your typo for you.

That's gotta mean Clyne to LB...?
