The defending was most un-Koeman-like. In attack they weren't amazing either but defensively they were open, made individual errors and struggled to retain possession. 3 things you don't associate with this Soton team.
Pelle is a big miss for Soton. He could've got physical with Otamendi like Mandzukic did midweek. Long presents more pace but less consistency and although City's defence is poor without Kompany, they have a more potent attack than the Saints. 2-1.
I fully expect Man City to score goals in this match (averaging almost 3 goals per match at home.) I just hope Southampton can find a couple holes in the Man City defense and score a goal or two.
I'm on the over. I'm sure it'll happen. Just a bit nervous to see how City responds after getting embarrassed by Liverpool and losing to Juventus in the UCL. I don't think it will matter anyways because it was just luck. Right YuckYuck?
Man City 3-1, 4-1
I think this will be the best game of the round. I hope Toure is dropped for Delph and Silva comes back into the starting XI. Yaya is just to lazy to play in the deeper midfield role against a team like Southampton. Hopefully the Saints can exploit a few weaknesses in Man City's defence in Demichelis and Caballero to make this a tight game.
