that s a double pivot in midfield from southampton with davis. the players in front look like they have a threat in them. long, mane and jurisic. well rounded center forward pt. here s milner. silva. now toure. kolarov. there at the end of a promising move from manchester city. better quality than that. good attacking play from manchester city. that s an issue for the two holding midfield players at southampton. the likes of milner, lampard and silva are. of course aguero. kolarov certainly.
it s easy to paycheck progress from defending the situation. 20, 30 yards. the halfway line is vacant. southampton are having a go. why shouldn t they? here s aguero. zabaleta arriving. there by mane. now lampard. city fans want the team to end with a flourish here. aguero. now toure. james milner. lampard with a header.
that space and the players in blue pouring forward from attack. denied then every chance at goal from shane long. what a piece in terms of long and demichelis. toure to lampard. well defended by. kolarov. for milner. zabaleta. sul va. now toure. lampard. fairly quiet game so far coming in toward the half hour mark.
aguero has stopped short. watched. touched by silva to lampard. now toure. city find themselves 30 yards back from where they have begun. he groans from the home support at that. two groans from the two central defenders who made the run from the halfway line into the box. the ball wasn t delivered. the pass by demichelis. but the pace of kolarov came back to help out his teammate. fonte. a header. now fernandinho. in for milner. picked up by davis. shane long. past zabaleta. shane long. really good chance. he was straight at joe hart. the best chance here so far. excellent play from
