Unbelievable Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Let's see if Keegan can make it another motivational half time speech.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 3 points there if we want them, just need to add some quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NickR Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Anyone else think we look pretty dangerous? I'm expecting a good 2nd half for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Half time. Not bad at all really. Not perfect, and we've not clicked yet, but this game is there for the taking. We've looked more dangerous than they have, although when theyve had possession its been closer to our goal. Good first half away to a good side. At least we dont look like conceding cheaply...so far anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Don't think there's been much in it. If we can make some of those long Oba balls count, we'll be larfing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoU Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We're looking solid. We've got em stretched at the back, so I would like to see some more running against their centre halves. Think Keegan will give the team a proper teamtalk and we'll destroy them in the second half.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Pretty good 1st half, tight game, could go either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Not bad, we seem to be using the cross field ball to Martins well but we need to get support up to him quicker. Would have been harsh to give a penalty against Taylor, nothing he could do about it. Viduka needs to get himself in the game more second half.

Guest Shibby Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Not impressed with the performance thus far. We're losing the battle in midfield. Play 4-4-2 and get Duff in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 without being brilliant i think weve been solid, which is a real plus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Enrique needs to be given more options on the ball, he's thrown away a lot of possession. We also need to get Owen and Beye more involved in build up play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We'll have the wind in our faces 2nd half, and the sun will be less in our faces this half. We've been overhitting the ball this half, I think the headwind is the best of the two to have providing we don't knacker ourselves. Game could go either way.

Parsley Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Martins have a good 1st half....Enrique too What? Looks great on the ball as always and has made a couple of decent tackles but his long balls have been shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 This is the first game I've watched on TV since we've picked up and for me the transformation of the midfield - Butt in particular - is astounding. I've watched extended highlights, but it's no way near the same. Enrique had a shaky start for me, seems a bit frustrated. Martins started off brightly. I'd say we've been more of a threat but Pompey aren't really being dominated. 3 points is still a possibility at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think Pompey will have much more of a go at us in the 2nd, Harry will not be happy with that. We need to stay solid and see it out for about the 1st 20 mins or so, a point would be a great result for us, but we may nick it late on if they over commit and we can catch out behind with the pace of Oba..

Dan Gleebals Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 quick goal after the restart would be nice. No reason to see why we cannot win this. We were the better team in the first half although not as effective as we have been recently. Come on KK do your stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Not impressed with the performance thus far. We're losing the battle in midfield. Play 4-4-2 and get Duff in. We're simply not going to beat them in midfield, Diop and Muntari are beasts, and Kranjcar has more quality than our midfielders. We should carry on with what we're doing.

STM Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I thought we were the better side to be honest. We can't be doing bad if the corners read pompey 0 newcastle 5. We have had more and better chances. I expect a better half from pompey next though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I thought that was a definite pen, we were lucky there. If Defoe and Martins see more of the ball in the second half, there will be goals in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
