  1. Enrique needs to watch it. Was holding LennonĀ“s shirt there, and could be sent off..
  2. I knew "great" was an overused word, but this is pushing it very far indeed.
  3. In terms of partnerships... Anelka (14), Lampard (5) = 19 Adebayor (7), van Persie (7) = 14 Agbonlahor (9), Carew (5) = 14 Crouch (7), Defoe (7) = 14 Robinho (8), Ireland (6) = 14 Owen (7), Martins (6) = 13 Ronaldo (8), Rooney (4) = 12 Geovanni (6), King (5) = 11 Gerrard (6), Torres (5) = 11 Zaki (8), Heskey (3) = 11 Davies (5), Elmander (5) = 10 Cisse (7), Jones (3) = 10 Bent (7), Pavlyuchenko (3) = 10 I think he meant ours..
  4. They would need to get near the ball first though, which requires mobility well beyond that offered by the likes of Viduka and Owen when defenders just thump the ball towards the front to clear the immediate danger first and foremost..
  5. In what way, Stoke at home, he comes off 2-0 up, Pompey he comes off 2-0 up. Against Stoke we'd scored the second in the 24th minute and Martins was subbed in the 74th minute, after we'd been taking incessant pressure for about 20mins. Today he scored the second in the 77th minute, virtually condemning a s**** Pompey side to defeat. So against Stoke, you're saying we were under pressure even before Martins went off. That didn't change when he went off. Today against Pompey, we weren't under pressure before Martins went off, and that didn't change either. Are you for real?! Is the danger of hitting a team on the break to finish the game off when you're under the cush a concept you have trouble understanding? My point is, that threat didn't change today even when he went off. The match was won today when he came off (due to injury and not tactics might I add), because Pompey had all but given up. Last week the match wasn't won by any means and taking him off was supposed to make us stronger at the back, but resulted in much more pressure on our defence because Stoke didn't have to worry about counter attacks anymore. It's really not that difficult ffs.. I would argue we could have easily lost points here had Kinnear subbed Martins when you suggested he should, just minutes before he secured the win. This match was a case in point against your logic, and you still feel justified in your argument?! Unbelievable..
  6. Let's hope we keep him and he finds consistency with experience and age..

Today he scored the second in the 77th minute, virtually condemning a s**** Pompey side to defeat. By the time Martins was taken off (due to injury let's not forget) Pompey had completely given up on the match. They weren't even putting pressure on the ball anymore.. Anybody who can't see the difference between those two situations doesn't understand football if you ask me..
  9. That's the thing, for all his pace, he's done nowt when he's got it these last 10 minutes and the ball's keep coming back at us. clueless What was wrong about my statement up until the goal? If you have to ask you are worse than I feared. One he has had a very good game for us, two he was keeping the Pompey defense on their toes.. Well no, his contribution in those 10 minutes before the goal was giving the ball away, being put through clear twice and being tackled easily, giving up on one chase, and having a shot which went for a throw-in. Clueless, as I said..
