Indeed. We put out a scratch side tonight, and Southampton, considering it was their last home game of the season (?), seemed to have the deckchairs out. But we all knew what tonight was about, and the same as Sunday - just win, and hope players don't get injured (ouch, poor Joe again). Some were saying we should put the best side out and go for 7 or 8 nil - nonsense: that's another Crystanbul in the making. No, it's all about winning the last two games and praying that a City side with nothing else in their season to play for but this will drop points against Villa, at home. Hmm, shades of City v W Ham in 2014, or Brighton v City in 2019.

Bloody proud of our squad today though, including the much-maligned Minamino. Hope Div holds off on the flicks and what-nots on Sunday when he starts (he will), and we'll bring key players on if we need them. Much more important to get as many as poss ready for the CL final now rather than busting a gut against Wolves for what is probably a 2% chance City will slip up. But hey, can there ever have been a team that got 90+ points in a season TWICE and never won the league in those seasons? Outrageous fortune, but we don't complain. :biggrin:
