Nightmare continues

oh dear oh dear lol

Pompey4me.. i Agree but think of the +s. less games, less injurys =]

woops...sunday

posted at the same time... disappointing, but there you go no excuses, frustrating for those that paid the money but sunday will show how 'bad' things really are, and they arent as bad as 10 goals in 2 games suggest...

Just got back home ... After that display I'm worried for the confidence of some of our 'bigger' players Distin and Johnson looked all over the place Jamos England place must surely now be in serious doubt. Utaka.ha.ha.ha if he comes out with another 'I'll prove myself quote' I reckon I'll shove it down his throat... 6 million more like 6 francs. Kaboul runs around like littel Bo Peep. Crouchy tried to do a job but got little service from a poor midfield and although Pamarot, Hughsie and Arnie ran around and chased the ball a lot it was clear to see that they are no more than 'bare bones' players at best especialy against the better opposition.. Belhadj left his leg trailing inviting the penalty and although it should never have been given name me one pro who wouldn't take advantage of his naievity.. Herman tries but his well past his best. Other than that I think we did alright !!.. Spurs on Sunday.. I'll settle for a 0-0 right now.. we must get some confidence back in the back four and I'll think we'll see 442 for the rest of the season ... changing formations fpor a few games brought us instant success but the players arent sure who is doing what job anymore.. it's unsettled us

Great idea Gandor .. I'll come and join ya !

Yeah, I'll reserve judgement until after the Spurs game.

Well you lot can say what you like, I had a 2hour drive from Andover because the A34 was shut at Bullington. Got overrun by Chelski. produced a performance that was NEVER going to score if we played till Xmas! Crouch just as well of been playing on a different pitch, for all the good he was doing. Not his fault, that excuse of a midfield did nothing to help out. Ooohfrickingtaka...I swear if he goes inside one more time instead of going down the outside, I will personally hand in a transfer request for him! ps. he can't defend either; the debacle with Johnson was comical. Johnson should have helped him out, but looked panicky. Jamo reminded me of my short stint in goal when i was 15...Crap! Hughes looked for all his huffing and puffing to have consumed one too many pies (And I normally like him) Arnold had no product. Herman looked scared to venture forward. Harry please tell me the point of Crouch up front when he gets no help? He has no pace, so ball to feet played into Chelski hands, meaning they could play higher up without fear of being turned and outrun! Now here's the bit you all won't like...I was dying for the loo just when the Penalty was given, And just kept walking...to the pub! I feel slightly ashamed of myself as this is the first time i've ever done it, but hey so should some of the staff at Fratton. The WORST defense in the Premiership...God sake!...Report from PeedoffofAndover

Right have we got that all off our chests. lets look on the bright side the result was on the cards from the moment the teams were announced. The squad just isn't strong enough to cope with that many changes to the side against a strong Chelsea side. We have a few less games to play now so that has to be a plus under the circumstances. Ok after Ballacks dive everything went tits up but till that point things weren't so bad, Mvuemba was having a tidy game till that point. Belhadj looks great going forward but needs to work on his challenges in the penalty area. His challenge allowed Ballack the chance to con the ref, he got away with an awful challenge in the area against Boro. Kaboul should only play as a defender. I'm not going to criticise players for effort because once the goal went in they weren't given chance to get near Chelsea. We're not Chelsea or Man utd we will lose a few games over the season, it just happens that we have come up against 2 of the richest clubs in the world back to back. We've been shown how inadequate our squad is if we get injuries we might accommodate 1 or 2 changes to the team but anything else will just weaken us too much. 3 games ago everyone was saying how great we looked, we haven't become a bad team over night, things will get better again.

Was gratified to hear Harry saying virtually what I said last night -think I'll become a pundit:-) Yeah, we have problems, but its not as bad as it seems. Come on everyone, cheer up. Everyone is c--p sometimes. Its just that we are spectacularly c--p! If we had lost both matches 1-0, then I would have been more concerned. We have problems, they will be sorted, then we will be spectacularly mustard! Off for a nap now, I'm going out tonight!

Carpet we were rubbish, it was not a good game and most of it was like a training ground exercise. I dont travel for 8 hours to watch teams pass around us, and make us look second class. Brighton showed what hard work and belief can do,as did QPR, we are not as good as so many people thought we were, and it has really come to light in the past two games, when the players were required to show some guts, spirit and hard work.

Of course 10 goals in 2 matches is disastrous, but what is troubling the most is the sudden dip in form (and even attitude?) of the experienced players like Distin, and especially James. Jamo has been our rock for the past 2 years, and has done so well to get his England place back. Please let this be a blip! Lets just go and rollover Spuds and the weekend, and then book our place in the Euros, and then we can look back at this odd week in this season.

Come on Owenspompey,it really wasn't as bad as all that. i wasn't at the ManC game but I must say, this team kept going until the end. They did show guts and spirit but in the end, Chelsea were the better team (1) we made some studpid defensive mistakes (2) and our midfield was non existent (3). Point taken about having tavelled 8 hours to watch it tho.

Owen, if we lose to Spurs that puts our season half a dozen league games old with no reason to panic and everything to play for. I accept your opinion of the team in terms of performance and attitude but let's not start saying our season is over when it's only September! PLAY UP POMPEY!
