Man City 2 Saints 1 - Post Match

[St Chalet]

Great performance. Great comeback. Did enough to see that out but for a good finish / suspect extra time.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

96 Fu kin mins played when only 5 mins added

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Mp got it right. Credit to him. Absolutely gutted that we didn't get a point though.

[SuperSAINT]

Well, 3 at the back has come a long way since getting trounced by Wolves reserves earlier this season.

 

Unlucky Saints.

[simo]

Heart breaking for the lads to put in that performance to lose with the last kick , time to really get behind the team and manager !

96 Fu kin mins played when only 5 mins added

Scored at the start of 95 though

Cheated out of it as usual by the mysterious extra time afforded to the richer clubs.

[OttawaSaint]

Redmond and Pep having an argument.

[Pamplemousse]

To be disappointed at losing at Man City in the last minute of stoppage time is a positive

[Manuel]

Conned. 6th minute ET goal??????????? Premier League disgrace

[doddisalegend]

So close can't fault the boys for their effort this City side have put some teams to the sword but we competed and gave a good account of themselves.

This in spades

[trousers]

FFS... We deserved a point there. Goal came 5 seconds after the 5 minutes added time. Why do refs wait for a move to break down before blowing up. Gutted. I might go into a dark room and have a little cry

 

Well played Pellegrino.

[Colinjb]

Did not expect to feel aggrieved after losing tonight. That is a very weird positive to take.

[DG]

Harsh. Heading in the right direction though.

[Wes Tender]

We were robbed. We put in a heroic shift. Had we taken Redmond off instead of Long, Long would have been onto those balls upfield to put pressure on their keeper.

[aintforever]

Cheating ****s

[Noodles34]

Some rubbish defense at the end everyone goes for the ball but know-one stays on sterling

[Dazza82]

Mp got it right. Credit to him. Absolutely gutted that we didn't get a point though.

Got Austin sub wrong though. If he was gonna change it put Gabbiadini on for mobility up front

Absolutely sickening. The lads played really well tonight to keep Man City at bay and fully deserved a draw. Can't fault the quality of the finish from Sterling and Forster (who actually had a decent game tonight) couldn't do anything about it.

 

But 6 mins added time? Really? Cedric was down for maybe a minute at most, so where the hell did that come from? It's like a sucker punch.

[9-3]

Gutted. Brilliant performance.

[Saint-scooby]

AH fook.....

[Mr Dad]

Yeah. The big teams always get the advantage over that kind of thing. Refs think 'lets not upset the big teams'.

A shame but a better result than I expected

[bazza]

Gutted. So close to a cracking away point.

[5string]

On BBC website:

"Pep v Redmond

Manchester City 2-1 Southampton

Pep Guardiola is tearing into Nathan Redmond as the Southampton winger comes off. Not sure what that's all about!"

 

Any ideas?

[musesaint]

Gutted

[davefoggy]

Robbed. Gutted. I take all back what I said before the game. Manager got it spot on (apart from Redmond) Good performance. Now lets smash Boscombe

Yeah my only criticism of the tactics would be that when Long went off we really lost something defensively and in his hold up play.

[Jonnyboy]

Media not even mentioning the extra time. Pr*cks.

[verlaine1979]

Very good effort. Redmond should never start for that team again. Boufal deserves to start every game. Austin looked knackered the minute he came on. Hoj didn't disgrace himself against much better opposition, but Lemina was superb as always. There's a team starting to form, but it needs the slow-witted and slow-limbed deadwood to be set aside permanently.

[James]

**** off Pep, **** off Sterling, **** off ref. Well played Saints.

[scotty]

Big club syndrome strikes again. You really do have to wonder where these added minutes come from, they're never added when the top 4 club needs them not to be added, and always added when they need the extra time.

[davefizzy14]

So close to a cracking point. Robbed by the officials. Gutted for the lads.

[Jarakka]

Not even mad, expecting something against Bournemouth though.

[badgerx16]

'Big' team allowed to play beyond the end of added time, until they score, and then time is immediately up. Is Guardiola the new Ferguson ?

 

Thought FF had a good game, certainly his best so far this season.

[davefoggy]

In other news, lol at West Ham!!!

[GarrettIvo]

Bunch of balls.

[Noodles34]

The 2 opportunities we had though, really it should have ended 3-2 to us both taken and messed up by defenders

[Jonnyboy]

Redmond should've flipped him the bird.

[Wes Tender]

FFS... We deserved a point there. Goal came 5 seconds after the 5 minutes added time. Why do refs wait for a move to break down before blowing up. Gutted. I might go into a dark room and have a little cry

 

Well played Pellegrino.

 

The ref allowed the game to kick off again after the goal, just to make it look as if there was even some more extra time. Somebody needs to buy him a new watch for Christmas. What is it with Manchester clubs and extra time?

[Minsk]

Didn't deserve to lose that. Not sure where the 5 minutes came from.

 

A much, much, better performance. Now hoping the players to take out their frustration against Bournemouth on Sunday!!

[5string]

Great performance. Great comeback. Did enough to see that out but for a good finish / suspect extra time.

 

I agree with all of this.

[Disco Stu]

Guys, it has always been 'minimum of x minutes'. We were winding down the clock, so it's always a possibility the ref will add time.

[Shroppie]

Gutted. Team set up to do a job, and did it. Robbed by the ref. But great performance.

great performance but why take Long off it allowed their defenders to come forward i am behind the team but until we can kill a game i still have doubts abouts this manager

[St Chalet]

Hopefully Redmond gets a three game ban.

[Saints foreva]

Seriously where did those five minutes come from? An absolute ****ing joke.

 

Unlucky lads. Only real player that didn't put in a shift was Redmond.

We was robbed, they were crap and Guadiana knew it, he was prancing around having temper tantrums cos he knew they were crap.

Maybe he was telling him what a useless, moany, talentless, little **** he is....

[SNSUN]

Well, 3 at the back has come a long way since getting trounced by Wolves reserves earlier this season.Unlucky Saints.

Now let's hope we stick with it, at least against the big clubs, it's shown it can be effective.That was gutting but at least we didn't get battered - and I bet a few City fans were worried when we pulled it back to 1-1. (Off to look at Bluemoon...)Anyone know how bad the Cedric injury was?
