Awful for fans
Manchester City fans have been treated to incredible highs from Pep Guardiola's side over the last six years. As they prepare to face Manchester United on Saturday, it is worth remembering the giddiness at the Etihad in the reverse fixture this season when a 6-3 scoreline hugely flattered the visitors.
But that doesn't give the squad a free pass, and those supporters who went to great time and expense to travel down for the Southampton game received in return a performance that was lacking in just about everything it takes to win a football match. They were shaky defensively, anonymous in attack, and while the team wasn't the strongest at the beginning of the match there were plenty of stars on it by the end.
