Portsmouth v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[1964white]

Yes you did 64

Farke & our team took no notice of their dangerous attacking option.

Pompey defenders doubled up on Soloman & James.

John Mousinho has outwitted Farke.

Farke

"We coped with many situations really well but we have created so many good chances in this game and you just have to put them to bed."

No we didn't, we were poor in many situations!

Pompey ran us ragged at times, as we constantly conceded possession far too easily.

1.71 v 1.82 on the XG.
Not sure about that. Ours were the best chances of the game yet for one reason or another we failed to take them.

Gruev just now coming off

Should never have started, he brings negative football to our usual free-flowing team.

[1964white]

Struijk dribbles away a corner. Just sums up our day today.

Another one of his dopey moments.

I really don't know what goes on in their heads on days like these.

[1964white]

Ha ha not too much to fear from our remaining fixtures according to the commentator - it’s a rogues gallery of past season f**k ups waiting for us.

The elephant in the room was Tanaka, lost the ball too many times in dangerous position, I was glad when he was hooked off the pitch

[1964white]

Tanaka plays the DMF and Rothwell further up in that scenario. We've played Tanaka and Gruev as twin DMF's today

Didn't work, did it?

Great time to experiment now.

[1964white]

Millwall an absolute must win, as I can see a similar performance and result unfolding at Loftus Road

Dreading the QPR game now.

We played like a Sunday league team. We are still top of the league, however more feeble displays in that vein & our automatic promotion hopes will soon evaporate. I think today proved we couldn't cope with the quality of the Premier League.

The defeat serves them right for being so casual & lapse.

Ding, ding, ding....this is exactly correct. Our defending has been terrible every time we've been put under any sustained pressure.

[1964white]

That league table doesn’t look too comfortable now. Not that DF will know that, since he doesn’t look at the table til mid-July apparently.

[BlackHillsPaul]

Aaronson has been mostly shite since January. And today was just another anonymous performance. The numbers don't lie. Neither does the eye test. He needs to get pulled from our starting lineup.

[1964white]

That's why I never got excited about auto Riot, but no doubt we'll be labelled doom and gloomers

Not after that performance, Swannie.

I feel sorry for our travelling fans, several friends at the game have texted me how disappointed they are. It's a long journey home for our loyal supporters.

Those players have created the doom & gloom tag after what was a woeful display, it's up to them to show professionalism over our final ten games, if not, we can look forward to playing Fwank's Coventry once again.

[1964white]

Matteo has to be league 2 striker at best. Yet he’s our only fall back now after Piroe.

Absolute joke

A second striker who doesn't score goals.

[1964white]

We just wasted a full minute playing handbags at twenty paces.

Typifies the modern day footballer, John.

[1964white]

Agreed, we could have had four today. Fair play to Portsmouth.

We all knew we’d get beaten at some point, but total fecking meltdown on here when it happens.

It's the abysmal performance which is the killer, Dave

[whiteswan]

Dreading the QPR game now.

You know, I reckon we'll do OK at Loftus Rd....

[Cjay]

I was applauding Farke before Christmas over the number of times he rotated the wingers and gave Joseph an occasional start. As well as Byram. But since Christmas he's just gone back into rigid mode again.

Agreed.

Felt like he'd turned a bit of a corner but he reverted today even to the chuck on all the attackers sub.

Hopefully a freshen up vs Millwall.

[Cjay]

Dreading the QPR game now.

Gotta get through Millwall first.

A team we've played twice and lost twice against and a manager in Alex Neil who DF has a poor record against

Played 8 won 2 lost 3 drawn 3.

2 big fixtures coming up

[1964white]

And just like that the seven point lead is gone.

A Tommy Cooper trick.
