Post-Match Wash Up Pompey

[lfc4ever]

Huh? Gary?

on 606.

LFC Fan wins Fan of the Month, travels 1,000s of miles etc, a scandanavian.

He is not as ****e as you try and make out, and I find the singling out on here utterly pathetic.

He tries to take on his man and to create all the time, a bit too hard for his own liking.
He works his bollocks off, but blows hot and cold.

I could mention several other players who were worse, but I will refrain from that.

I bid you good night.

You're totally wrong.

OK. I'll give you the singling out bit. Believe me, i'm at a total loss for the MOTM, everybody on that pitch deserves a slagging and like i said in my first post on this thread, i hope Rafa goes to town on them - i just can't take another 'we created chances' monologue.

But back to Pennant. The lad is terrible. Truly awful. He had plenty of company tonight though.

5 pints down and i'm still depressed.

Oh Rafa.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez:

"When you work as hard as we did and you cannot score you must be disappointed.

"You cannot say anything to the players as they tried everything but they broke up the game all the time.

"They tried to waste time from the beginning and it depends on the referee if you can stops those things."

[Slim]

One of the most tragic things about this season to date is that I am actually worried about the Wigan game on Saturday..............yes that's right the ****ing WIGAN game.

Sorry I'm just very depressed tonight.

I've got a lot of time and patience left for Rafa but if he starts making them same delusional, pig-headed, ignorant comments Houllier came out with, that will soon evaporate.
Grow a pair Rafa and tell it like it really is: We were **** and there's no excuse.

Deja vu. Heard this sort of sh!te after every crap performance under Ged.

I know he's being let down by the players but it's up to the manager to turn it around. The buck stops with him...

[Morph]

I can't be arsed reading this thread, we were **** end of story.

Every result went our way to go third and we ****ed it up. I mean this is friggin Portsmouth at home, PORTSMOUTH FOR ****S SAKE!

Had enough of these ****e performances, I was debating whether I was going to watch them on Saturday because there was something else I had on and I was going to jib it for the footy, but I've just decided I will now not put myself through another 90 minute bore fest.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Too many long balls.

We don't work the ball through midfield.

We need a forward with pace who has quality.

Wide positions?, don't get me started.

Can the fullbacks get beyond the midfield before I start to go grey. Once maybe?

Rigid and unimaginative.

Just about covers it.

THAT IS EXACTLY THE ****ING ABHORENT RHETORIC I EXPECTED FROM RAFA TONIGHT. UTTER BOLLOX! EVERY EFFING WORD OF THAT REEKS OF PISH. SORRY IT DOES.

First time i've used CAPS in my life like that on the interweb. I was so afraid of that ****ty effing response, that i have SSN off tonight.

I'm glad I couldn't see it. However, I am awaiting some sort of email from a gollum-like pompey supporter that I'm unfortunate enough to know.

Portsmouth ffs. We can't beat Portsmouth.

Come on Wigan - you can do it!

Dearie me....

[Bob]

The only glimer of hope i had for LFC tonight has vanished with Rafa's comments.

I said virtually on 65 mins, when it was a nailed on a score-draw, that Rafa had to come out blazing. He didn't. He's rapidly losing integrity for me - i'm aware of the cardinal rule about critising players, but at least accept some accountability for that godforsaken horror show.

Come on now, he's going to come out and say "we were ****e" is he?

That'll be the message in private to the players at Melwood tomorrow. Hopefully Rafa sends Pennant round to the shops for milk and teabags. Might as well get something in return for £7m quid.

You know what - Portsmouth have impressed me this season. They really have. But through injuries or ineptitude they were woeful tonight (more woeful than us). A couple of years ago we'd hammered them for six for tonight was a shambles.
