:01:06. > :01:23.A chance. There is something that didn't change, for sure, which is
:01:24. > :01:33.the happiness to work, the desire to win. The feelings after defeat.
:01:34. > :01:46.More experience, more maturity. I question my methods every day. My
:01:47. > :01:54.methods always have an evolution in time. What drives me is the pleasure
:01:55. > :02:08.of life. The pleasure of life for me is my football. I change.
:02:09. > :02:11.COMMENTATOR: The ways and words of Jose-Maria zero are so woven into
:02:12. > :02:18.the fabric of Chelsea. -- Jose Mourinho. Either side springing a
:02:19. > :02:25.surprise today could be the least likely of all scenarios. Mind you,
:02:26. > :02:34.Antonio Konta's 3-4- three is not a Mourinho model. Willian and Oscar
:02:35. > :02:41.alongside John Terry on the substitutes bench. The weight dugout
:02:42. > :02:50.may be the only part of the stadium Jose Mourinho doesn't know like the
:02:51. > :02:55.back of his hand. Mourinho again showed his ability to turn a
:02:56. > :03:00.mountainous occasion into a molehill of a match. A similar outcome may
:03:01. > :03:04.suit him again today. Chelsea remember Matthew Harding who died 20
:03:05. > :03:10.years ago. A man who put his money where his heart was when football
:03:11. > :03:16.and Chelsea were very much less fashionable than they are today.
:03:17. > :03:20.Martin Atkinson is the referee, Chelsea attacking the Matthew
:03:21. > :03:29.Harding and, they get the game underway. -- the Matthew Harding
:03:30. > :03:32.end. Six and a half years ago Jose Mourinho came here with ooh and
:03:33. > :03:38.knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League.
:03:39. > :03:46.That is the only time he has managed against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
:03:47. > :03:54.Smalling let it go. They are in trouble. Pedro, he scores for
:03:55. > :03:59.Chelsea. Under 30 seconds. How about that?
:04:00. > :04:09.It is a gift for Pedro. Unbelievable start.
:04:10. > :04:17.Smalling let it get in behind him and De Gea came and never got
:04:18. > :04:32.anywhere near getting there. And Pedro strokes Chelsea in front.
:04:33. > :04:44.He has blown everything away in the very first minute. Ibrahimovic.
:04:45. > :04:47.Pogba. Herrera. For whatever you say about the rotten start for
:04:48. > :04:55.Manchester United, they have a long time to put it right. Dangerous.
:04:56. > :05:01.Ibrahimovic. A really good dangerous opportunity for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
:05:02. > :05:11.A golden opportunity for Ibrahimovic with his head. Eden Hazard is
:05:12. > :05:17.forward. Diego Costa is there. Eric Bailly is across. Diego Costa is
:05:18. > :05:28.asking the question of Martin Atkinson. Pedro is offside here.
:05:29. > :05:33.Chelsea have a corner. Pedro. Hazard.
:05:34. > :05:41.Poor defending from Manchester United to allow that to happen. Not
:05:42. > :05:45.exactly reinventing the wheel with the corner, Chelsea, but Manchester
:05:46. > :05:50.United did not read it. They have met once before, Antonio Conte A
:05:51. > :05:57.Jose Mourinho, a game between Inter Milan and Atalanta. That was in
:05:58. > :05:58.2009, when both managers were serving dugout bands. It finished in
:05:59. > :06:13.a draw. Eden Hazard. Moses, couldn't quite
:06:14. > :06:18.get it back to him, but they have to concede a corner from Blind.
:06:19. > :06:21.Manchester United have won only one of the last five Premier League
:06:22. > :06:29.matches and they are behind in this one. Hazard. Might be further behind
:06:30. > :06:36.here, and they are! Gary Cahill makes it two goals. And Manchester
:06:37. > :06:45.United being blown away at the Bridge. Corner kick, not dealt with.
:06:46. > :06:49.I think there were two Manchester United touches before it came to
:06:50. > :06:59.Cahill, one of Valencia, another of the rarer and Cahill cannot believe
:07:00. > :07:02.his luck. -- her rarer. Chelsea two, Manchester United zero. It's fair to
:07:03. > :07:08.say Chelsea have had a week to prepare for this, whilst Manchester
:07:09. > :07:12.United have played Leicester and then Fenner battery in the Europa
:07:13. > :07:18.League. But I don't think the Manchester manager will be making --
:07:19. > :07:21.making excuses, Chelsea have been a lot better -- Fenerbache. Chelsea
:07:22. > :07:30.have caused themselves a host of difficulties. Azpilicueta, Pedro
:07:31. > :07:36.will chase for the sake of it, and he has nicked it away from Blind.
:07:37. > :07:48.Pedro, De Gea's legs, but they are not out of the woods. Powered by
:07:49. > :07:59.Smalling. Matic. -- out by Smalling. Managed Matic. -- Manchester United
:08:00. > :08:04.in danger of being ripped to shreds. All Chelsea have to do at the moment
:08:05. > :08:07.is wait for Manchester United to present them with an opportunity.
:08:08. > :08:21.And they are coming thick and fast. Here is Eden Hazard. That is a great
:08:22. > :08:27.ball in. Didn't Diego Costa is very unfortunate. Brilliant stuff from
:08:28. > :08:34.Hazard. That could easily have found its way in for a third. Eden Hazard,
:08:35. > :08:43.brilliant stuff. Giving Blind nightmares. Here is Valencia.
:08:44. > :08:58.Fellaini. Pogba lets it go. And Herrera. Well hit. Needed the second
:08:59. > :09:04.save from Courtois. This could indicate two. Courtois -- this could
:09:05. > :09:51.be a way back for Manchester United. But lovely change of direction by
:09:52. > :10:01.hazard. Pedro has put the ball over the top of the bar. Martin Atkinson
:10:02. > :10:10.will say he let the play go on and Pedro wasted the chance. Antonio
:10:11. > :10:18.Conte I did not see it that way. Valencia. Juan Mata. Ibrahimovic.
:10:19. > :10:27.Moses's header has gone straight to the Manchester United player, but
:10:28. > :10:36.now they have lost it. Victor Moses is flying. Hazzard has got it. Good
:10:37. > :10:41.blog. -- block. Should have probably more than two goals in this game by
:10:42. > :10:52.now. An excellent piece of defending. Blind. Herrera.
:10:53. > :11:00.Jesse Lingard managing to retain possession. Good drive and well
:11:01. > :11:03.saved by Courtois. Alonso cannot find Eden Hazard. Well struck by
:11:04. > :11:38.Lingard. Good stop, bat. -- that. Matic. Lovely ball. Eden Hazard
:11:39. > :11:44.here. What a goal! Wonderful goal by Eden Hazzard, and just as Manchester
:11:45. > :11:48.United were so -- sowing seeds of doubt in the minds of Chelsea they
:11:49. > :11:58.crash back with a third. Lovely goal. It is this past that did it.
:11:59. > :12:05.And then hazard's little shimmy inside Chris Smalling. Nothing De
:12:06. > :12:10.Gea could do. Chelsea three, Manchester United zero with still
:12:11. > :12:17.almost half an hour to play. Not in their wildest Thomas Sweet dreams
:12:18. > :12:23.did Chelsea think it would be so easy -- not in their wildest,
:12:24. > :12:32.sweetish dreams. Alonso's header was a good one. Eden Hazard's control
:12:33. > :12:45.was perfect. Hazard now. Finding Victor Moses. A good trap by Anthony
:12:46. > :12:51.Martial. Chalobah will be on any minute. He might get one here. He
:12:52. > :13:09.has. 4-0. N'Golo Kante wriggled through them
:13:10. > :13:14.all. And defeat is becoming humiliation for Manchester United.
:13:15. > :13:27.Look at this from little N'Golo Kante. Away from Smalling. I think
:13:28. > :13:33.he did De Gea with his eyes. And a lovely finish.
:13:34. > :13:39.Well, there are good days, and there are great days, and for Antonio
:13:40. > :13:47.Conte take this must be one of the latter. A strange performance from
:13:48. > :13:48.Manchester United today. Ibrahimovic did really well, but so did
:13:49. > :13:59.Courtois. Terrific from Ibrahimovic. Really
:14:00. > :14:06.good save by Thibaut Courtois to get down so low so quickly. Antonio
:14:07. > :14:12.Conte a getting the crowd going. He wants a big finish here. He does not
:14:13. > :14:14.want the home fans to be out sung by the Manchester United hordes.
:14:15. > :14:26.Herrera. That is well hit by Markus Rodeo. --
:14:27. > :14:36.Marcos Rojo. A little hug from Dyfed Louise. -- David Lewis. He hit that
:14:37. > :14:41.sweetly, the Argentine. Jose Mourinho would not have expected
:14:42. > :14:44.Chelsea to roll out the red carpet, but nor would he have expected
:14:45. > :14:47.Antonio Conte a's side to pull the rug from under his feet. Chelsea
:14:48. > :14:59.four, Manchester United zero. It is good. It is good that the
:15:00. > :15:05.players started strong and showed a desire to win, and we started really
:15:06. > :15:11.well, and we scored the goal and very soon, but then we continue to
:15:12. > :15:18.play good football. 30 seconds and it had already gone wrong. Yes, this
:15:19. > :15:21.match started 1-0, and it is hard, especially for the players and the
:15:22. > :15:28.manager, but it is harder for the players because they know the
:15:29. > :15:31.mistakes that were made. In the second half, I don't want to speak
:15:32. > :15:37.about mistakes I want to speak about the consequence of an open game and
:15:38. > :15:42.defending with nine and counterattacking with two very fast
:15:43. > :15:48.players. I don't think we don't deserve this result at all. A very
:15:49. > :15:55.painful afternoon. Very painful result and feeling. But it is just
:15:56. > :16:01.three points. It is a very difficult result for me but we need to be
:16:02. > :16:04.good. We are buying into what the manager wants to do with the style
:16:05. > :16:08.we want to play and it's proving difficult to play at the moment and
:16:09. > :16:12.we managed to go from the back and put it out quite well and giving the
:16:13. > :16:18.attacking players the freedom, but with the formation and the attitude,
:16:19. > :16:23.today, from one to 11 was superb. What did the manager say to you as
:16:24. > :16:31.the full-time whistle went? It was a private conversation. It is to
:16:32. > :16:35.remain private. The Italian media report that Jose Mourinho said the
:16:36. > :16:40.Antonio Conte I was whipping the fans up 4-0, that isn't humiliating,
:16:41. > :16:47.they should have done it at 1-0 but it deflects from analysing the game.
:16:48. > :16:51.How do you describe this game? Comprehensive? Comfortable? Man for
:16:52. > :16:55.man, they were brilliant. The way they've done is -- adapted to the
:16:56. > :16:59.play, they have done their job. They looked more at it than Manchester
:17:00. > :17:03.United and when I got the chances they stuck them away. Jose Mourinho
:17:04. > :17:09.said they did not deserve the score. Do you believe that? I have sympathy
:17:10. > :17:13.to the Manchester United manager. Within 31 seconds today there were
:17:14. > :17:17.1-0 down and within 20 minutes they were 2-0 down in the mistakes in the
:17:18. > :17:21.game, you cannot legislate for as a coach. There were times in the games
:17:22. > :17:25.I thought United and opportunities to get back again but ultimately
:17:26. > :17:29.they were not good enough I don't know what they are saying in the
:17:30. > :17:33.papers tomorrow but we can see some of the papers headlines, but I
:17:34. > :17:37.imagine Chris Smalling's rating would be low but it's easy to single
:17:38. > :17:41.him out. He will get the brunt of the criticism but there were other
:17:42. > :17:46.players involved in the goals as well. Straight from the kick-off, 31
:17:47. > :17:51.seconds into the game, you see Daley Blind, he should be there and he can
:17:52. > :17:55.play Pedro offside. Pedro then makes a running behind and Chris Smalling
:17:56. > :18:00.should see the run. I don't think he sees it and he is surprised and
:18:01. > :18:03.David de Gea, his starting position is actually good but I don't think
:18:04. > :18:07.there is any need them to come out because Pedro still has a lot to do
:18:08. > :18:12.and Smalling and Daley Blind are still back there. As the comes over
:18:13. > :18:16.the top, look at Chris Smalling, the surprise on his face, he doesn't see
:18:17. > :18:19.Pedro. Daley Blind should track the run and it was an horrendous start
:18:20. > :18:32.that typified the afternoon. Mata, Valencia and small and, Hazard
:18:33. > :18:35.is on the ball. The minute he plays it inside, Antonio Valencia, who was
:18:36. > :18:40.the best player for Manchester United, should tuck in. That's the
:18:41. > :18:44.right wing in him not smelling the danger. Show him on his left foot,
:18:45. > :18:50.Chris, don't allow him to come inside. We know he wants to come
:18:51. > :19:01.inside. And he scores that one. And the fourth goal. We both played in
:19:02. > :19:09.midfield, me and Jermaine. The way Kante runs in behind Pogba, the run
:19:10. > :19:14.is not tracked by Herrera, and that typifies the day for Chris Smalling.
:19:15. > :19:19.Kante, it was too easy. Brilliant goals. Do you think we would be
:19:20. > :19:24.praising that goal more if it had been Eden Hazard? 100%, if it was
:19:25. > :19:30.Oscar, Hazard, you name it, we would be going crazy. He should not be
:19:31. > :19:34.allowed to run in behind Herrera. When you analyse all three goals,
:19:35. > :19:38.you highlight a triumvirate of players each time. Are you seeing
:19:39. > :19:43.that nobody is talking to each other? There are runs being made
:19:44. > :19:48.with nobody tracking them, are they talking to each other? That's where
:19:49. > :19:52.Jose Mourinho will be disappointed. On Monday at Anfield I saw a team
:19:53. > :19:55.performance. At times people have questioned what system they are
:19:56. > :20:00.playing, but on Monday night I saw a system and I thought they could go
:20:01. > :20:03.places this year. They were aggressive, tight defensively, and
:20:04. > :20:07.today they were anything but. If we are talking about systems that work,
:20:08. > :20:14.it's like he knew what was coming next, we talking Chelsea. This is a
:20:15. > :20:17.team who went to Arsenal, got absolutely battered, and since then,
:20:18. > :20:24.since they looked like they had that soft centre, he has had enough of
:20:25. > :20:28.this and made changes. What he has done, gone to three at the back, as
:20:29. > :20:33.we all expected. When you are attacking with three at the back you
:20:34. > :20:38.always expect to go into the wide areas to get some joy. It's amazing
:20:39. > :20:42.how quickly they adapted, Gary Cahill covering Alonso on the left.
:20:43. > :20:47.Azpilicueta is sniffing the danger, I'm going to cover you, Moses, I'll
:20:48. > :20:51.cover this one. Even if this ball comes into the box, you've got David
:20:52. > :20:56.Luiz and K Hill ready to clear anything in that area of the field.
:20:57. > :21:10.And what it has done for Azpilicueta and K Cahill, he is pressing Pogba.
:21:11. > :21:16.Matic is sat in front, and that allows Kante to do what he does
:21:17. > :21:19.best. It is flexibility. It is. When you have people like David Luiz in
:21:20. > :21:24.his side, every now and then he will go on one of his little runs. Now
:21:25. > :21:28.Chelsea don't have to worry, they don't have to think, what will we do
:21:29. > :21:32.when David Luiz goes on one of his little runs, they are calm. He
:21:33. > :21:36.points to him, get in here, now we are three against two and everything
:21:37. > :21:42.is nice and calm. And it is down to this guy, Moses deserves big credit.
:21:43. > :21:46.He's been on loan, Liverpool, Stoke, West Ham, the last three seasons. He
:21:47. > :21:51.has allowed Chelsea, I think, to really play this system. Difficult
:21:52. > :21:55.to find those wingbacks capable of doing it. He deserves a lot of
:21:56. > :22:01.credit for getting his head back in preseason and putting in the
:22:02. > :22:05.performance. And Conte deserves a lot of credit for having a real look
:22:06. > :22:09.at his squad, seeing what he's got without judging, and giving them the
:22:10. > :22:12.opportunity to put in a performance like that. Wingback is the hardest
:22:13. > :22:17.position because you have to defend your far post and get up the other
:22:18. > :22:22.end and score at the far post. Conte has a great balance, a defender on
:22:23. > :22:28.one side in Alonso playing wingback, and an attacker plug-in wingback on
:22:29. > :22:32.the other side. I'm assuming you've both been at clubs and been in
:22:33. > :22:35.situations where a manager has come in or a manager has decided to
:22:36. > :22:39.change the system and implement something new, and do you need a
:22:40. > :22:45.result like this? I couple of results like that to give you belief
:22:46. > :22:48.as players? Of course. This is brand-new to Chelsea. Yes they will
:22:49. > :22:51.have been trying it in training but the minute that was a wonder today
:22:52. > :22:55.I'm sure they will have looked at each other and thought they are the
:22:56. > :23:00.real deal now. It is the size of the game that helps. You can beat Hull
:23:01. > :23:03.or Leicester but when you beat a team like Manchester United, the
:23:04. > :23:07.belief comes through that the manager knows what he is doing. We
:23:08. > :23:12.can take a look at some of the headlines for tomorrow morning.
:23:13. > :23:17.Telegraph going for the humiliated one. I think the times have done
:23:18. > :23:23.something similar. Has he been humiliated? For me, no. I played for
:23:24. > :23:28.Manchester United when Chelsea got beat 5-0 under Sir Alex Ferguson. It
:23:29. > :23:32.happens in football. But now they have got to start winning and
:23:33. > :23:36.winning well. A manager is there to set out his team to do the job. You
:23:37. > :23:39.can't legislate for putting your team out, setting the stall out all
:23:40. > :23:44.week and after 30 seconds going one goal down and conceding the goals
:23:45. > :23:49.they have. But then of that, though, did it cost Chelsea that many
:23:50. > :23:52.problems? I take your point on individuals making mistakes but
:23:53. > :23:57.surely you are looking for a bit more going forward to get yourself
:23:58. > :24:01.back into it? That was the criticism at Anfield on Monday. They only
:24:02. > :24:05.created one chance. They do you need to improve attacking play. But they
:24:06. > :24:17.need to win and win well and start scoring goals. Next to the Etihad
:24:18. > :24:20.for Manchester City against Southampton, two teams who played
:24:21. > :24:24.away at European giants. After a hard few days making the long
:24:25. > :24:29.commute to work all you really want to do on Sunday is kick back and
:24:30. > :24:40.relax. Welcome to Match of the Day. But this is the Premier League.
:24:41. > :24:51.After defeat to Barcelona and into Milan, Ciity and Southampton go
:24:52. > :24:53.again. COMMENTATOR: Only once before in his managerial career has Pep
:24:54. > :25:01.Guardiola five matches without winning. He will be determined to
:25:02. > :25:04.restore order. He starts Vincent Kompany for the first time since
:25:05. > :25:12.taking the job. It's only the second time since March captain has started
:25:13. > :25:17.a match. Sergio Aguero is also back. Sandia and Zabaleta are both out
:25:18. > :25:21.injured. Southampton make one change to the team that beat Burnley. The
:25:22. > :25:25.21-year-old Southampton born left-back Sam McQueen makes his full
:25:26. > :25:28.Premier League debut. He joined the club at the age of eight. Top scorer
:25:29. > :25:31.Charlie Austin plays the 50th Premier League match of his career.
:25:32. > :25:48.He has 23 goals in his previous 49. Little touch from Silva, very good
:25:49. > :25:55.one, into the path of Aguero. De Bruyne moving forward with him.
:25:56. > :26:00.Cleared only as far as Silva, and into the arms of Fraser Forster.
:26:01. > :26:08.Ironically it was Silva who began all that by winning it in the air.
:26:09. > :26:10.That was a very good header. Aguero tried to make the most of it. Lovely
:26:11. > :26:26.turn. De Bruyne, a magnificent ball from
:26:27. > :26:42.the Belgian. This is patient from Manchester
:26:43. > :26:50.City. Fernandinho being chased by Davies. Super Bowl. Sterling unable
:26:51. > :26:54.to get on the end of it. First-time Manchester City have really got in
:26:55. > :27:03.behind and passed Southampton. Claude Puel had a slow start. At ten
:27:04. > :27:22.points from the last 12 have certainly got things moving.
:27:23. > :27:46.Still Tadic. Taken by Claudio Bravo cleanly. Too close to the keeper.
:27:47. > :27:50.No problems for Claudio Bravo. Keen to get on with matters for
:27:51. > :27:59.Manchester City. Just trying to raise the tempo. A little scruffy at
:28:00. > :28:06.the moment. Ooh, John Stones overplayed that. Redmond! 1-0
:28:07. > :28:12.Southampton. Well, John Stones, who made a couple of errors last season
:28:13. > :28:17.with Everton, made a glaring one, there, for Manchester City. And
:28:18. > :28:26.Nathan Redmond latched upon it, and has given the visitors the lead.
:28:27. > :28:33.There's nobody anywhere near Stones. You have to say Redmond seized the
:28:34. > :28:42.opportunity, and the error from Stones is punished.
:28:43. > :28:45.His team are behind in the Premier League for the third game in a row.
:28:46. > :29:11.De Bruyne. City corner. De Bruyne with it. Over Stones. Mark
:29:12. > :29:24.Clattenburg tells both players to get back on their feet, Austin and
:29:25. > :29:28.Stones. That was a foul by McQueen. Temple macro will whip it in, and
:29:29. > :29:34.would you believe it, John Stones puts it in the back of the net -- de
:29:35. > :29:39.Bruyne will whip it in. The offside flag is up. Let's have a look at
:29:40. > :29:47.John Stones. He's definitely not offside, but Aguero is. He attempted
:29:48. > :29:48.to play the ball, there. Preparing his thoughts for the half-time
:29:49. > :30:53.discussion. They'll have their own. Terrific football. First the ball
:30:54. > :31:01.from Fernandinho, secondly the awareness from Sane, and then the
:31:02. > :31:05.finish from Kelechi Iheanacho. He gets his fourth goal in his last
:31:06. > :31:23.seven games. Manchester City back on terms. Kolarov. Nice little lay-off
:31:24. > :31:32.from Aguero. Iheanacho. Try to link up again with Sterling. Iheanacho...
:31:33. > :31:38.Silva. Much better movement. Iheanacho did his bit. He is
:31:39. > :31:57.Kolarov. Patient and probing from Manchester
:31:58. > :32:06.City. Everybody back behind the ball for Southampton. Iheanacho, Gundogan
:32:07. > :32:15.went alone, Fraser Forster kept it out. Clever football. Lovely linkup
:32:16. > :32:20.with Iheanacho. Fraser Forster down quickly. With that left hand to
:32:21. > :33:04.clear the danger. Silva. What a good ball. This is an
:33:05. > :33:14.opportunity. Straight at Claudio Bravo. Four goals in his last four
:33:15. > :33:24.league games, Charlie Austin. He had time to steady himself.
:33:25. > :33:36.Good work from Sterling. Now, can Manchester City profit? Aguero
:33:37. > :33:42.trying to go all alone. It was a one-man mission. You sense he's
:33:43. > :33:46.desperate to score today. There's only one thing in his mind.
:33:47. > :33:49.Manchester City are five games without a win. Only a point for Pep
:33:50. > :33:55.Guardiola. When you equalised to do think you
:33:56. > :33:59.had a foundation to go on and win? Yes but it is not easy, Southampton
:34:00. > :34:03.are a good team with good players, good central defenders. We created a
:34:04. > :34:10.chance in the second half. At the end they scored a goal. They arrived
:34:11. > :34:16.to macro chances but always in time it is like this. That's why now in
:34:17. > :34:22.that moment we have to analyse, we have to think between each other
:34:23. > :34:26.what is the situation. All my players play just two days ago in
:34:27. > :34:35.the Europa League. It was difficult to finish this game. With strong
:34:36. > :34:44.solidarity, very good spirit, and good defensive organisation. We keep
:34:45. > :34:46.this point important. Your goal set them on the way, you know the way
:34:47. > :35:04.Pep Guardiola teams play, were you looking for something like that?
:35:05. > :35:10.It was just about anticipating the moment and keeping a cool head. Do
:35:11. > :35:15.you have to get used to the aura of expectation, not just with
:35:16. > :35:21.Manchester City, but with him? He is a good manager, everybody expects
:35:22. > :35:29.great teams, everybody expects high for our team. But we can make
:35:30. > :35:33.mistakes and lose games as well. So I think we need to put our heads
:35:34. > :35:36.together to focus on the games. I feel like I said this several times
:35:37. > :35:41.this season already, Southampton played really well and were fully
:35:42. > :35:47.deserving of that point. I thought they were fantastic and thought they
:35:48. > :35:51.nearly won. We saw Tottenham do a really high energy press for 90
:35:52. > :35:57.minutes. We saw Everton last week drop off, almost park the bus and
:35:58. > :36:02.got a draw. Today you saw probably a mix of both. You saw Southampton
:36:03. > :36:07.defender numbers. They had a little more quality and they maybe should
:36:08. > :36:12.have won the game. Certainly didn't park the bus. Definitely not. We
:36:13. > :36:15.have a couple of examples. We have highlighted a lot of players. When
:36:16. > :36:20.you go to the Etihad you will need to defend at times. They do have a
:36:21. > :36:24.lot of possession but they get back in numbers. So many occasions when
:36:25. > :36:27.any time they got into wide areas it came to nothing because of the
:36:28. > :36:32.amount of bodies Southampton got into those dangerous areas. Even
:36:33. > :36:36.when Manchester City might have caught them on the break. That is
:36:37. > :36:42.numbers against popular it is. Just watch what happens when they win it
:36:43. > :36:45.back. Redmond is peeling off the back three of Manchester City,
:36:46. > :36:53.getting his head up and getting them on the attack. Sending and attacking
:36:54. > :36:56.as a team. Tadic was wasteful at times. Manchester City tried to play
:36:57. > :37:00.through the middle too often. When they win it back, and so many
:37:01. > :37:05.occasions, if they took their time and picked the past they would have
:37:06. > :37:09.been on goal. This is a clear indication. Look at the composure,
:37:10. > :37:14.not panicking, picking the right path. Again on the attack. Four
:37:15. > :37:19.Southampton players against two at one point. They let themselves down
:37:20. > :37:22.with the last ball. But it was a brilliant Saints performance. I feel
:37:23. > :37:30.they could have got more. If you were ultra-critical, to get the
:37:31. > :37:35.three points, the composure that they had from Virgil van Dijk,
:37:36. > :37:43.bringing the ball out, it needed to be further forward. Yes, when they
:37:44. > :37:46.got into good positions, Tadic didn't make that pass, Charlie
:37:47. > :37:52.Austin didn't make the run, Redmond didn't really produce that moment of
:37:53. > :37:55.magic. I know you both have a differing opinion on this which is
:37:56. > :38:00.what we want, we don't want you to agree, that's dull. We will have a
:38:01. > :38:03.difference of opinion. I'm going to pause it when John Stones gets the
:38:04. > :38:08.ball. Manchester City are playing three at the back and when you play
:38:09. > :38:13.three at the back, you need width. So when John Stones gets this ball
:38:14. > :38:18.he needs options. Sane needs to give John Stones an option so he can open
:38:19. > :38:22.up his body and go, here you go, mate, I'll find you. John Stones is
:38:23. > :38:27.going to get blamed but I think Vincent Kompany is just as much to
:38:28. > :38:31.blame. He needs to give a clear indication, I don't want this ball,
:38:32. > :38:35.I'm going to get out of the way, probably block Redmond. And that
:38:36. > :38:40.allows John Stones to go back to his goalkeeper that has been brought in
:38:41. > :38:43.specifically to play football. I have a slightly different take on
:38:44. > :38:48.it. I agree Vincent Kompany plays a big part in this. I think the first
:38:49. > :38:52.thing John Stones should do is open out his body and play forward. If he
:38:53. > :38:57.does not do that, normally in a back four at Manchester City, they play
:38:58. > :39:01.through Claudio Bravo. Today, because they had a back three, this
:39:02. > :39:06.is where I think Vincent Kompany is involved. He is looking at John
:39:07. > :39:11.Stones. He has got to provide an angle. You are the central man. You
:39:12. > :39:17.take over from Claudio Bravo as the sweeper behind. He doesn't. We just
:39:18. > :39:22.take it forward slowly. Vincent Kompany offers himself, then he goes
:39:23. > :39:25.forward. Like Nathan Redmond said in his interview, he's not the mistake
:39:26. > :39:31.and capitalised. Fantastic forward play. In a team where Pep Guardiola
:39:32. > :39:35.always wants options on the ball at this particular moment John Stones
:39:36. > :39:39.didn't have any. Is that communication? If that was a settled
:39:40. > :39:43.back three and they'd played for longer, that kind of thing could be
:39:44. > :39:45.eradicated? You have moments on the pitch where you catch each other's
:39:46. > :39:50.eyes and it tells you something. What they had was a moment where
:39:51. > :39:54.they went... I don't know. That is how the mistake comes. There were no
:39:55. > :40:01.clear lines of communication and from that you get mistakes. A bit
:40:02. > :40:07.like in this Judy, you make eye contact, there is blind panic -- in
:40:08. > :40:14.this studio. City have two wingers in Sterling and Sane but it did not
:40:15. > :40:18.give them width. What other options? You can see why it was going through
:40:19. > :40:24.the middle. Sterling and Sane are not natural wingbacks. They need to
:40:25. > :40:29.be deeper. It's not always about being high up, it's about the depth
:40:30. > :40:32.you give for Kolarov and Stones. It was a feature of their play, when
:40:33. > :40:37.they got on the ball, constantly looking through the middle. Kolarov
:40:38. > :40:42.does not have the option of Sterling here. To be fair to Southampton they
:40:43. > :40:46.were a three almost against their back three which gave them problems
:40:47. > :40:54.all day. So that eventually comes to nothing. This one really typified it
:40:55. > :40:59.for me. On each other's toes, trying to play out of the situation.
:41:00. > :41:01.Southampton pounce, sensing the stakes, exactly what Nathan Redmond
:41:02. > :41:06.mentioned in his comments after the game. Wasn't able to make anything
:41:07. > :41:13.of it. Eventually John Stones cleared up the pitch. I thought what
:41:14. > :41:16.was very interesting about this, I'll run it on slowly, if you watch
:41:17. > :41:21.Vincent Kompany, he never looks comfortable. He's looking round
:41:22. > :41:25.like, and my supposed to be here, and my supposed to be high up the
:41:26. > :41:30.pitch? It was a clear indication this site are not quite happy with
:41:31. > :41:35.three at the back. It is a new system, only the second time they've
:41:36. > :41:38.played it. I think Pep has a lot of ideas. It is a lot of rubbish that
:41:39. > :41:43.there is a crisis at Manchester City. They are favourites to win the
:41:44. > :41:47.title. I just think the players are getting used to working under Pep
:41:48. > :41:54.Guardiola. Does that apply to Sergio Aguero, who had a different role in
:41:55. > :41:58.the second-half? He had to play a slightly different position and I'm
:41:59. > :42:02.slightly worried for Sergio Aguero. Sometimes Pep does not like Centre
:42:03. > :42:08.forward in his team, but he likes them to be flexible and playing out
:42:09. > :42:11.wide. He did it with Henry at Barcelona, David Villa as well,
:42:12. > :42:17.Thomas Mueller at bay in Munich. You have to be adaptable when you play
:42:18. > :42:20.centre forward with Pep Guardiola. Sergio Aguero did not get picked
:42:21. > :42:26.against Barcelona. In the second half he played a different position
:42:27. > :42:33.but only got the box for Times, which tells you that is not enough
:42:34. > :42:35.for a player of his quality. Great question we asked Iheanacho about
:42:36. > :42:39.the pressure that comes on players when you are playing with a manager
:42:40. > :42:43.who has this aura, and therefore this expectation that is passed on
:42:44. > :42:49.to the players because of who they are managed by? We have all fallen
:42:50. > :42:53.into it. We all couldn't wait for Pep to arrive, we all lauded how
:42:54. > :42:57.much he changed Manchester City in the early stages of the season. But
:42:58. > :43:04.they are going to have moments like this. Big players handle that
:43:05. > :43:09.situation, that's what the best managers do. Slightly different way
:43:10. > :43:13.of looking at it. He will have learnt a lot about his squad. He
:43:14. > :43:16.demands nothing but the best from his squad. He doesn't mind mistakes
:43:17. > :43:21.as long as they are doing the right thing. But he demands the best. At
:43:22. > :43:25.the moment they have hit a wobble. Is it different because players
:43:26. > :43:30.can't hide behind their manager in a situation when they are managed by
:43:31. > :43:33.Pep Guardiola? No, because Pep demands the best, as simple as that.
:43:34. > :43:38.If the players cannot handle the pressures of dealing with the ball
:43:39. > :43:41.under pressure, he won't play you. On to part one of Saturday's action,
:43:42. > :44:01.starting with the champions. COMMENTATOR: Slimani, Okazaki with a
:44:02. > :44:08.toe poke back to Slimani. Chance to shoot, chance to score! Musa's first
:44:09. > :44:16.Leicester City goal. A milestone for Okazaki and the lead for Leicester.
:44:17. > :44:22.Drinkwater looking for Okazaki, it has come to Okazaki! There is some
:44:23. > :44:30.feeling in that finish! And the celebration. It's his first goal in
:44:31. > :44:37.14 Premier League appearances. The two changes made by Claudio Ranieri
:44:38. > :44:39.seem to have worked all right. Mahrez corner, Benteke out. There is
:44:40. > :44:51.Christian Fox! Christian Fuchs. You somehow knew
:44:52. > :45:00.that when Fuchs scored his first goal for the club, it would be a
:45:01. > :45:03.belter. There is Cabaye Palace have one. Cushioned into the goal by
:45:04. > :45:21.Cabaye. Here is Dean Marney. That's a lovely
:45:22. > :45:32.touch, beautifully taken by Scott Arfield. Burnley striding forward!
:45:33. > :45:35.Oh yes! Vokes is there! The shot had the sting taken out of it but in the
:45:36. > :45:43.end it. Though and he gives Burnley the lead. He has done well here,
:45:44. > :45:50.finding Romelu Lukaku. Bolasie takes it off him. It's Bolasie! Yannick
:45:51. > :45:53.Bolasie with his first goal for the club following his big-money move
:45:54. > :46:02.from Crystal Palace in the summer. If we're going to have a late winner
:46:03. > :46:06.here, it looks more at the moment than a hard earned point. Good
:46:07. > :46:15.delivery. Headed on towards Michael Keane. Could be a chance, and it
:46:16. > :46:19.smacks against the bar. And Scott Arfield has done it, for Burnley, in
:46:20. > :46:24.the last few seconds of the 90 minutes. Throughout the second half
:46:25. > :46:30.it was Everton who looked the more likely to score a second goal, but
:46:31. > :46:43.Scott Arfield puts Burnley in front with the match almost over.
:46:44. > :46:51.Short to King. Fantastic block on the line by Hugo Lloris and it
:46:52. > :46:56.looked for all the world like Charlie Daniels would open the
:46:57. > :47:08.scoring. Terrific block of the bar. Lamela with a good footing. Erik
:47:09. > :47:11.Lamela was always a threat, and capable of the spectacular and he
:47:12. > :47:20.has just clipped the corner of the post with that. Harry Arter is even
:47:21. > :47:28.scrapping for it when it is not on the pitch. I just wonder how much
:47:29. > :47:36.Sissoko has caught a Harry Arter. Harry Arter is not going to let this
:47:37. > :47:41.go. He is incensed. Dear, oh dear. I would be very surprised if Moussa
:47:42. > :47:44.Sissoko does not get a retrospective ban.
:47:45. > :47:49.After the game he apologised and said it was an accident, so I take
:47:50. > :47:53.that as gospel and move on from it and hopefully he didn't mean it, and
:47:54. > :48:02.if he didn't, I hope he doesn't get banned.
:48:03. > :48:10.Moutinho finds Can. He has Firmino one-way. Here is Firmino. Into cider
:48:11. > :48:17.Mane. First moment of real quality in the game and it results in a
:48:18. > :48:26.Liverpool goal. Firmino had a look up, beautifully flighted, which the
:48:27. > :48:34.goalkeeper misjudged, and Mane did the rest. There is the early goal he
:48:35. > :48:39.wanted. Kept Foster on his toes. It wasn't straightforward for him,
:48:40. > :48:47.fallen to Mane. He has Coutinho in Seaboard. Coutinho! Fabulously
:48:48. > :48:52.finished -- in support. 2-0, Liverpool. A fifth goal of the
:48:53. > :48:58.season for Philippe Coutinho. He drilled it past Foster at the near
:48:59. > :49:02.post. Interesting celebration. Liverpool have everybody back to
:49:03. > :49:04.defend the corner, trying to see at back-to-back clean sheets for the
:49:05. > :49:10.first time since March. They won't do. It is McCauley. It was the set
:49:11. > :49:13.play that Liverpool did not deal with and McCauley reacted and really
:49:14. > :49:25.could not miss. He has been in charge for a year,
:49:26. > :49:29.Jurgen Klopp, and in that time they are the team to watch because they
:49:30. > :49:34.have been involved in more goals for and against than any other Premier
:49:35. > :49:37.League team. Obviously that can go both ways, it can be positive and
:49:38. > :49:39.negative, which she has alluded to that they are definitely
:49:40. > :49:44.entertaining to watch and some of the football they play is brilliant
:49:45. > :49:51.to watch. The midfield and strikers are brilliant to watch. If you like
:49:52. > :49:55.entertainment that is a positive. If you are a grumpy coach, you look at
:49:56. > :50:01.the negative, how you might concede goals, but there is a serious point.
:50:02. > :50:06.I've watched a lot of Liverpool and they are fantastic going forward and
:50:07. > :50:10.they only know how to play one way, gopher goals, 100 mph. 60 minutes in
:50:11. > :50:14.the game they should control the game but this was in the last three
:50:15. > :50:16.minutes of the game and they brought Lucas on to play a holding role in
:50:17. > :50:23.midfield. The burgers board, and he is
:50:24. > :50:28.charging forward with three or four Liverpool -- the ball goes forward.
:50:29. > :50:33.There are four Liverpool defenders and five West Brom attackers and
:50:34. > :50:37.this is where it got nervy but they just want to score goals. With
:50:38. > :50:41.Jurgen Klopp, with no midweek games in Europe, they are saying he is
:50:42. > :50:46.going to attack and they will go a hundred mph. Maybe temperate
:50:47. > :50:50.slightly in the last few minutes? There have been occasions when they
:50:51. > :50:55.have shot up shop at Chelsea and they were more pragmatic there. He
:50:56. > :51:02.has players he tends to bring on. I know that Can comes on, and Kevin
:51:03. > :51:07.Stewart to shore things up at times, but that is his way. He likes to
:51:08. > :51:13.defend from the front and defend against the attacking team. I was
:51:14. > :51:16.disappointed with Manchester United, and it's the one game this season
:51:17. > :51:22.where they were more cautious and they were not so good so maybe it's
:51:23. > :51:28.the only way they should play. We go back to the war of managers, and
:51:29. > :51:32.that may be increases on players. It seems to have gone the other way
:51:33. > :51:36.that there is now more belief than maybe at any other Premier League
:51:37. > :51:42.team because of how Jurgen Klopp is amongst the squad. When you've had a
:51:43. > :51:45.manager who won things, as a group of players it gives you a feeling
:51:46. > :51:50.you might win something. We had it with Spurs when we won the League
:51:51. > :51:55.Cup. Before that we were very much to try and get in the top four. The
:51:56. > :51:59.expectations were probably not what they should have been and then he
:52:00. > :52:05.says, I win trophies, that is what I do and everybody says, yes, and you
:52:06. > :52:08.jump on board and those Liverpool players are getting that from the
:52:09. > :52:15.aura of their manager, who is a winner. It's about winning trophies.
:52:16. > :52:20.He hasn't won a trophy, though. When I see him, I see him as somebody
:52:21. > :52:23.with a personality to win the Premier League and the way the
:52:24. > :52:30.players celebrate with him after the game, as a Manchester United fan, it
:52:31. > :52:34.worries me. He's waited all afternoon to try and have it and
:52:35. > :52:38.waited till late at night. More sport on the BBC in the coming days
:52:39. > :52:43.and the NFL is on Tuesday, highlights from week seven and the
:52:44. > :52:47.Premier League show on Wednesday with interviews from Patrick Vieira
:52:48. > :52:52.and Frank Lampard and tomorrow, sports Xtra has ball by ball
:52:53. > :52:56.commentary on the first commentary between Bangladesh and England. Here
:52:57. > :52:58.is the rest of yesterday's key action including a convincing win
:52:59. > :53:14.for Stoke at Hull City. Shawcross. Lovely ball. Good vision
:53:15. > :53:20.and execution. Shaqiri. Good effort. What a goal. What a goal by Z and
:53:21. > :53:29.Shaqiri. You do not keep those out. Stoke City have the lead and it is
:53:30. > :53:38.an absolute cracker. Shaqiri might well fancy this. It will be Shaqiri.
:53:39. > :53:41.And it is 2-0. Not quite the quality of his first half strike because
:53:42. > :53:46.that was magnificent but it's not a bad follow-up and it might be enough
:53:47. > :53:51.to ensure that those Stoke City fans head home happy tonight.
:53:52. > :54:03.Lanzini. Looking for Mark Noble. Might work out for Dimitri Payet. He
:54:04. > :54:09.gets the short end. So close from Dimitri Payet. Just a couple of
:54:10. > :54:14.inches out. The last chance of the game, perhaps. Here is Poyet. Short
:54:15. > :54:19.corner. Winston Reid. He has won it for West Ham. Winston Reid with
:54:20. > :54:32.virtually the last kick of the game. Maybe a contentious decision about
:54:33. > :54:35.the goal. It's offside. The ball -- boy lost his footing in front of the

:55:23. > :55:28.rocking at the back. Sanchez. A couple of strides, great shot, super
:55:29. > :55:33.save. Sanchez has come alive in the second half. Really good effort, or
:55:34. > :55:44.veering away and fine goalkeeping by Victor Valdes. Ozil, trying to find

:56:18. > :56:21.linesman's flag denies them the victory and the linesman was
:56:22. > :56:31.absolutely right. It has been that sort of afternoon for Arsenal.
