Oba's been ace today. A couple of shite shots, a couple of poor decisions, a rocket that nearly went in, and a goal anyway.

 

A performance that sums him up completely.

 

and in the mins before he scored he had 4 or 5 runs, attempting to get on long balls. though he did little with them, it managed to keep at least two pompey players pressed back and let us push ours forward. perfect lesson in why he's important late on in games when we are protecting a lead.

Been really funny watching this thread:

 

Martins shit. Martins great. Martins shite oooh what an effort by Martins!what the fuck was Martins doing?!!?!OMG MARTINS SCORES1!

 

Owen and Colo also get similar treatment but not to that extent.

Martins giving Kinnear a really good reason to sub him

 

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.

Wouldn't mind Duff on for Zog right now either.

zogs doin alright now

 

Zog's done fuck all but I'd leave him on, on the off-chance he can do something that'll;

 

a) put a smile on his sour mug and;

b) give him some confidence ahead of our next match.

 

Duff's a complete lost cause, Charlie's not.

Why?

 

So he can track back and provide some extra cover on Kranjcar.

 

And why do we need that? Joe Kinnear school of thinking there.

 

I'd have Duff now as he can keep possession and time waste well, whereas Zog has cocked up in that sort of situation before.

Trying to protect a 2 goal lead at home against Stoke with 45 minutes left is idiocy.

 

Trying to protect a 2 goal lead away against Portsmouth with 10 minutes left is pragmatism.
