Smith was ok today, did not do to badly! As for Owen he is awful, no pace, drops into midfield where he is hardly going to make a defence splitting pass is he? If he gets a chance will probably score but he is not getting any chances at the mo so doing nothing else at all!

Who did the fans want Mourinho, Shearer, Lippi, Hitzfeld. These managers just never going to come. Lets give him a chance football cant get any worse and he has took Portsmouth from relegation to a decent side.

What was with the sarcastic cheering of taking Barton off even a couple near me booing what a joke!! Least him, Butt, and Milner were actually looking for the ball (fair enough sometimes gave it away) unlike other spineless players hiding behind players etc.
