Portsmouth v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Jaydog]

Interesting point from Warnock. The ref has had a few PL games so he’s used to VAR saving his arse. Universal agreement that its a terrible decision.
Apology incoming

[Orange Box]

The more i see the replay on James’ penalty shout the more angry I become. Ref in a perfect position but without the comfort blanket of VAR he’s lacking the marbles to give it.

Agree, but think bringing on Rothwell will kick Tanaka into a higher gear. Similarly, Joseph on will further ignite Piroe (who’s having a decent game, by the way). BA had that clever pass and some other earlier involvement, but has been a bit quiet otherwise.

All fair.

Aaronson seems to be the lightning rod here, but he wasn't the one turning the ball over or conceding free kicks in dangerous places.

Rodon our MOTM so far. Had Piroe scored when he should have, he'd have that honor.

I think have to credit Portsmouth

Said they are the press Kings of the league and they are making it really difficult and forcing errors.

Piroe should have scored (think he's been one of our better players though).

Rodon saved us a few times

Not much else to say.

I thought the ref had Piroe offside anyway

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Tanaka and Gruev, certainly.

Aaronson had some excellent moments, including a pinpoint pass Solomon should have scored from.

He's also everywhere on defense when we lose the ball.

Yeah, this dual DM set up is just plain weird and is stunting other players’ hard work. Gruev would be first choice to be subbed for me.

Ref needs to grow a pair. Could easily have had a penalty awarded in our favor and Ogilvie is lucky his challenge on Mes wasn’t a red.

Need to up our game this half, Portsmouth look a decent team.

[Tyzy]

Mes seems to have improved his catching skills

[Orange Box]

I think Meslier has been taking positive -thinking sessions. Doing well today.

[The Subhuman]

Portsmouth most likely

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Mes seems to really be pushing the ball forward quickly.

[SG90]

Piroe ffs

[CUSSIE01]

Piroe, what the hell

[airedale]

Bloody hell joel

[YorkshireSquare]

Great break from James, Solomon beats the keeper and Piroe... what was that?

[Tyzy]

Piroe does a Bamford

[John in Louisiana]

That's twice, Piroe!

[Orange Box]

WHAT A FLUFF!!!!!!!

[The Subhuman]

Ahh you can't miss an open goal like that
