Three at the back please Mark Actually, terrifying though a front three of Sterling, Aguerro and Mahrez may be, most of our CBs are **** in the air, and hopefully we won’t have to worry about that. If we all put in a shift, I’m confident we can keep you to single figures; and maybe even nick a point. On another note, it wasn’t that long ago that I remember City coming to St Mary’s, with Schmeichel in goal. We besieged your goalmouth for 90 minutes, finally scored with about 10 to go I think. A lot seems to have changed since then.
Interesting stat... In England’s top 4 divisions Saints are the 2nd lowest scorers with 6 . Only Huddersfield have scored less with 4.
I don't think we will get battered (I'm talking 5+). Can see it being similar to the Liverpool game, they go 2 up inside about 30 mins and we give up and just try and save goal difference and just go through the motions. They probably nick another one, but they won't bother going flat out as the game is already won and we pose them no threat. Final score City 3 Saints 0
At least we won’t drop a place. The stats look grim though. After Hughes got us to rally last season I didn’t expect us to be this bad.
