Shame......but if you stand there and watch and invite players to shoot...........then that is exactly what can happen?

Exactly this! 

[Lew-T]

So frustrating what a finish like that can do to a game. Saints look up for this now.

[The turtle]

First half really good 

Southampton playing pass pass pass football, a lot of it going nowhere like us on sat.But leaving a tonne of holes once forward 

City playing chrisp , precision , quick 37% counter attacking football. Into feet or run onto it. And it looked really good.

 

Then the start of the second half happened. I mean how much time do you want to give on edge of box.

Sammie bloody szmodics, that's one that got away isn't it.

I think (hope) we'll see that, two up top.

Yup TC will get nothing if we're hoofing the ball forward. 

[Better Red]

Bell is ineffective needs a swap.

Need to move Sykes back to front 3 on the right

[MelksRed]

Working hard to win the ball only to give it away cheaply.

Need some composure on the ball! 

[95red]

Hopefully  Sam bell might turn up in a minute  ,what  do he offer.

[Ivorguy]

Coming up to Mehmeti and Cornick time

Believe.  A point, perhaps three, is still an option

What are we doing.

[petehinton]

Loook like we had a 15 min nap at ht

[keflav]

We got absolutely no support for Conway up front, when the ball goes to him no other players within 10 yards of him...

[Atyeo's lift]

Bell and Conway just not getting any service this half

[Lanterne Rouge]

Dangerous times and no mistake

[LondonBristolian]

Think I’d go Cornick for Bell…

Didn't get a chance here. Anyone know why?

They know he has pace and and are marking him heavily. He needs to drag a marker out of their zone.

[maxjak]

Was that sykes who tried to dribble out of his own 6 yard box??

[The Journalist]

Got a couple of passengers out there at the moment, TGH the biggest culprit IMO.

Probably didn’t bow down to LJ.

Conway and Bell off for Weimann and Cornick

I mean strikers wont get service constantly over the course of 90 mins. He got ample service in the first half which created 2 perfect chances. He didn't take either and now we are paying the price for not being clinical in front of goal unfortunately.

[Lord Northski]

Was wondering if the Sky commentator has been borrowed from Southampton Fans TV. 

[Super]

We've been shambolic this half.

[AppyDAZE]

Getting very, very sloppy.

[maxjak]

Hopefully LM is starting to see where the weaknesses are?   A goalscorer perhaps......and a new midfielder.............it's like deja vu?    Not sure who he plays for?  Sounds French?

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Conway looks anything but a top championship striker at the minute. Needs an experienced head alongside to get the best out of him. 

[petehinton]

Naismith undercooked

[Super]

Naismith injured again.

[Lanterne Rouge]

We`re trying to beat ourselves here.
