Portsmouth (away) Match Thread

That is one of the things that my gripe is based on. I don't really want to hear from him about the mood of the players. I'd take it for granted that like any normal group of people they would be disappointed about a loss and besides they are free to express their feelings in their own interviews. I would much rather he spent his time analysing his own tactics, particularly concerning formation and substitutions, than deferring to the players' state of mind.

"Deferring to the players' state of mind"? I'm sure he's not deferring to it, the interview suggests he's aware of it as a thing which needs to be addressed, and corrected.

I guess you mean 'referring' - but the fact that he refers to it doesn't mean he's not also thinking exactly in the way you want about the tactics, formation and substitutions.

He's talked at length in many interviews about his thought processes in terms of training, preparation, tactics, review of games and such like. He's never given any indication of ignoring these things as far as I can see.

Your gripe - and you're not the only one to say it, it pops up in the comments on the Mercury site from time to time - amounts to saying that the only thing Sousa should talk about are his tactics. Which would lead to very odd interviews with the media every time they ask him about the players, or the state of the pitch, or the fixture list, or the weather. I think we should give him a little credit to be able to discuss such things for a couple of minutes each week without it detracting massively from his tactical preparations for the next game.

No I meant deferring in that he seems to suggest low morale has been a cause of bad results and remains a potential threat going forward as opposed to recognising that in most cases it is more likely his tactics are the causal factor both with regard to the poor results and the apparent low morale.

Interested to see how Vitor gets on.

The team does show that we have a very good squad, to have the players that aren't in the starting 11 not playing is quite positive.

COME ON YOU BLUUUUUUUES!
