- City was in good shape and headed for Southampton as a big favorites to win
- Southampton went to 12 points, one more than the 11 derby made in 2008
- Listen now: everything is launched! Is Arsenal even close to achieving great things?
Pep Guardiola turned a bottle of water over his head. Even if the outfit, all black, will have added to the heat, it was really not hot enough for such drastic measures.
The cold shower can only have been to keep it alert. To wake him up. Manchester City was simply not there, sleeping on the southern coast, not the team that had started to increase performance when their manager found new ways to attack the teams at the end of a year he admitted was the most difficult of his career.
The qualification of the Champions League could have been almost done in Southampton. They could have gone to level with Arsenal in the second, as unfathomable as it may seem, but worked like the middle of winter. City had done Muscade in third and let the others enter.
And this draw tirelessly means that they only managed to stick a front of the lower side of the division, brown alone after conceding 82 times and just better than the county of Derby.
St Mary’s broke out at the end, a ray of light for them and for goalkeeper Simon Rusk. Guardiola stormed the central circle, a sarcastic verbal exchange with Rusk coach Adam Lallana, to point out frustration.
Rusk discussed the need to preserve the dignity of Southampton in recent weeks of a stinking campaign and has planned to push them away from the record of 11 points of derby engraved in the infamy in simple.

One to West Ham and, surprisingly, one here. The city was soft, lethargic. Rusk did not really ask his players to worry about entering half of the opposition and obviously felt quite comfortable with the campsite just above the plot of Aaron Ramsdale.
Watching the winger Tyler Dibling instinctively sabotage a loose ball directly for a throw with no viable option in front of him within five minutes did a lot to adjust the stall.
Southampton rarely threatened – Ruben Dias throwing himself in front of a Mateus Fernandes fired as exciting as he became at the end of Ederson – but then City either.
The AUS was on the side of Guardiola, who had appeared something that looked like Resurgent by taking charge of this Top Five Tussle, capable of calling on their top scorer Erling Haaland for the first time in more than a month.
Haaland, who criticized a lack of “hunger” inside the wardrobe, was rusty.
Late, they supported more, Ramsdale by based a dias head, Nico O’Reilly adding a momentum and Haaland not entirely bringing together a square of erroneous Jeremy Doku. Jan Bednarek threw a head in front of the effort of Kevin de Bruyne.
Omar Marmoush rocked the Ramsdale bar on the Tour, begging the question of why he was not used on the bench earlier than the 84th minute.
Lallana stood nervously by Lucozade’s boxes throwing arms on their defenders and they were resolved – certainly the result of their season and finally a form of a sensor for a club condemned for a long time.

City, who ended up with Bernardo Silva on the right back, made it a last fortnight of the season of the season.
They do not count quite on the results elsewhere, but it looks like two victories against Bournemouth and Fulham – after the FA Cup final – will be necessary if they manage to secure a place at the upper table.
