Pompey match thread

[Iwebema]

Another game where the opposition are there for the taking and we can barely even muster the energy to run.

I thought Vetsy could pass the ball. He just hoofs it to nowhere and no one. If this is them trying god help us.

He played a lovely ball out to Fatawu at one point. It was like an arrow. 
 

This was followed up by his next touch was to hoof it to no one.

Terrible half of football… we can’t pass the ball 

Because all we’re doing is booting it up. We’ve not got a player who can win or hold the ball up front. Garbage 

[jonny_wright]

I don’t even want us to win this, I don’t want any resemblance of hope just to be let down again

[FoxesWalk]

Isn’t football supposed to be an entertainment product now? One game in about 30 isn’t boring AF these days.

You're concerned about the kit????

Yes. That’s all I’m cared about because I’ve made a comment.

If we had any quality up top, we win this comfortably. They are yhrrr for the taking.

The ball has got to get there 

[PhillippaT]

Are Portsmouth this bad in general, too, or have we dragged them down to our level?  

[Tommy Fresh]

Portsmouth arent arsed about winning this and we've looked shit

[damolcfc]

Hopefully that 1st half has given player of the season awards a few more candidates 😊

[Jattdogg]

Think we will come out quick in the 2nd half.

 

All out defensive attack on their forwards.  Reckon, Vestey and Thomas to score worldie own goals.

This is the worst game of Pong I've ever seen.

It’s like table football and the ball is stuck in the middle, as people spin the players!

Genuinely missed that because every other time he's had it, he's just hoofed it

Now. Not on 75 minutes

[StevieH]

So many anonymous players. No one stepping up.

Reckon thats Rowetts HT team talk, word for word

[CloudFox]

We just can't win any second balls, can we? Every throw, goal kick, or free kick is effectively just giving the ball back to the opposition.

 

Fatawu's hit (I can't bring myself to call it a cross or a shot) just sums us up too. We don't seem to have any connectivity or thought in our play whatsoever. How boring.

Fair enough.

I think I’ve been harsh on Lascelles and Ricardo actually. They’ve both been steady. 

Think they've been ok, but as for Vestergaard and Thomas, good lord. They've been team mates for half a f***ing decade now, yet they're playing like they just met on the bus down to the ground. SO much space down our left from them both pissing around away from our area.

[Sunbury Fox]

0.07xG in a game we desperately need to win. Wow.

[jimsmallman]

“Battled” to a 0-0 at the break. Better than I thought it would be. Game itself is even worse than I expected. Garbage. But there’s a glimmer of hope. 
 

Pompey to score within the first minute of the second half. 

[Blue ROI]

Project reset has been a complete success

[Sunbury Fox]

We've looked okay up to the final third and then the quality of the final pass or cross has been honking. 

[steveb]

Are you allowed to make 11 subs ? , preferably with professional footballers for the second half, like American football where you switch the whole team

[CloudFox]

I refuse to believe that there aren't players in this squad who can do better than this. The drop off needs to be studied. Not by us, or anyone associated with the club, as we're sick to the back teeth, but...studied.
