Pompey v Redmen match thread

[vonk]

Played well and created chances???? Eh?

[slimbimjim]

**** it, I am happy to go to bed knowing we are still unbeaten and we have a game in hand.

For ****s sake, we can't be 1970 Brazil every game. We will play **** sometimes and I'm not surprised seeing that we were taken out of our stride by internationals although I did expect to see a goal from our side.

I'll download the match and form my own opinions on individual performances but otherwise lets celebrate a point won, a clean sheet and our unbeaten status.

I love how people are complaining about the team selection.

last week we had the best squad in the world....now they arn't good enough

great support

Pompey are always hard to beat at home and we should have gone at them with our best team. the players that have been moaning about not getting any game time didnt do their cause much justice today either. it was a massive dissapoitment. I cant even find solace in Everton loosing.Oh well at least we have a game in hand.

Momo was fantastic today, ran his socks off. People should understand this lad is still 22 and his qualities aren't scoring goals for fun and creating chances after chances.

This was the game that scared me the most out of the first several games. We have got past it with a point, this is great news.

Rafa thinks we played well.

[Endless Dream]

are we still top? i'm sure sky kept saying man u were top??

[sonsofthedesert]

Arsenal just got a goal.

We've beaten Sunderland and Derby without Gerrard and Carragher and everyone and his dog were lauding our squad as fantastic. It wasn't our day today and Rafa has a point with the fact that it's difficult playing just after international matches, that's a fact and why we weren't at our best today.

Ok Mate no arguement, Sunderland and Derby are not in the same league as Pompey away - and just because people are giving opinions on poor tactics means we are talking drivel doesn't it!! On come the few who sit back and wait till full time and start having a go about how they know more than the rest of us, how they are quite happy to see us battle for 3rd spot year in year out - Rafa got it wrong today - deal with it.

Just like to add that on todays performances Benayoun and Crouch have absolutely no right to complain about their lack of first team time. Both were terrible.

Crouch in ****in particular!
Sell him in Jan :whatever:

They wern't counting the point with Pompey til it was over. Yes we are top

Rafa is managing a squad for the ****ing whole season, not for a sprint on 10 matches, the ****ing whole season.

What's with the drama? We can't be brilliant every ****ing week and no team wins every single away game. A point at Pompey is okay. Not great but okay. Beat Birmingham next week and the table will look very nice indeed.

Who said there was a drama? Fact of the matter is though, shaggy, that Pompey away is one of our toughest away games of the season so we should be picking our strongest side. The side was still a good side just not good enough to beat Pompey. If we had started with our best team then I think they were there for the taking.

2 points lost today imho.

[Harv]

bollocks mate, this was one of our hardest games of the season, use the squad against Birmingham and porto next week not one of our toughest away games of the season.

Not starting Torres and Gerrard was a massive mistake, we were lucky to get out of there with 1 point.

Hang on a second here. Last week Pennant was being hailed as our best player so far.....today he is being lambasted. People were saying Crouchie should get a start....now people are saying he shouldnt have been selected The team that was put out today was not a bad team by any stretch....maybe Torres should of started but I would't of started Gerrard. They had both just played 2 games in half a week, and have 3 games this week......Momo and Xabi are more than capable of taking care of Pompey. They are both world class after all, well last week they were:whatever:

Face the facts, alot of the whingers here are ****ing turncoats, they are the first to say i told you so when a player plays well, and then the first to grill him when he has a bad game.

1 pt at Pompey is not a bad result at all. They have proved to be a very difficult side to beat at home, just ask Utd The team selection had nothing to do with this game....the performance was the reason we didnt win.
