Pompey (a) match thread

[SimonNo7]

Shall we try being positive for the sake of it?

Come on Liverpool. It's still more than possible to get a win out of this

I wish I could be positive but I'm not seeing anything this season to help me

That was worse than the 2nd half against Arsenal.

Bollocks. Against Arsenal we never even had a shot. Here we've had Torres an inch away from Gerrard's cross, Torres shooting just over the bar, Kuyt just failing to control the ball six yards out when he could have scored, Agger putting a free header just over the bar when he should have scored.

Yes, it should have been better, and we should be creating more with the posession we've got, but let's not get carried away.

Yossi on for Dossena second half. Got to get some creativity in there.

[fowlen]

referee is a mother****er

Don't blame it on the ref.
We are an absolute bore, and seriously bad team.
Our football is awful, painful.
We have no passion, desire etc, and wtf has Dossena done?

Thi sort of game cries out for someone to bombard the wings - Yossi or even Babel....will probably see them come on in the 91st minute!

[Leyton388]

Never thought i would see the day fans of the bottom club would sign "your getting sacked in the morning" to the manager of LFC. Is this how bad things have got now?

[lickedlollipop]

oh my god ... that's all I can say...

I hate to say it, I don't

We'll need some big performances, especially from Stevie who will need to cover some major ground. But such will be the lack of attacking intent from Pompey I doubt we'll notice we're a player down too much and will have similar possession to the 1st half.

Just need to take our half chances when they come along. We should be level really. Agger should have buried that headed chance.

[SimonNo7]

i've eaten my 4th doughnut. i'm saving the 5th for our next shot on target.

It may well of gone stale by the time that happens

[little dave hedgehog]

i've got a weird feeling that the owners didn't feel like sorting out a large honorarium for the fa/refs union/bookies this year. i would be horrified but not surprised to find out this were true.

We might as well go for it, we've got nothing to lose now by pushing on and going for it

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

wasn't a red IMO we are not creating enough drop gerrard back an get benny on, didn't think dossena was doing too bad so i'd have insua off and play him at LB

[Darkon]

Hope we get a big reaction at half time - sometimes teams actually play better with 10 men. We just need one ****ing goal and then the mouth will be shaken!

Have to believe - but it's ****ing depressing to watch right now!

yeah and we are still 1 down to the club sitting 20th in the table. So imo it is worse.

Exactly. Its nothing to do with the officials. We have been crap. We play too many defensive players, we play far too deep with no creativity and our lone striker has to drop into his own half to get the ****ing ball. Its Rafa's fault. Simple as that and im not ashamed to say it

[SimonNo7]

We'll need some big performances

We certainly will but do you honestly think we will?
