Portsmouth 0 - 3 Newcastle United - 14/12/08 - Post match jubilation from p20

Quality cross from Zog there.

 

Even if he's playing shit he still has far, far more quality than Duff.

[Optimistic Nut]

That was a much better ball from N'Zogbia. Been impressed with some of our attacking play to be fair. Created a fair few chances for an away side.

[Kimbo]

How is that not our corner? Fuck me!

[Dave]

Jonas hasn't been in the game at all. Kinnear's solution rather than instructing us to pass him the ball more will be to take him off.

[KaKa]

Anyone else think Martins is better away from home?

 

He seems to play at a more controlled pace i.e. not as over excited and hyperactive almost.

[Guest Sam]

Well covered by Enrique.

[Rich]

Exactly, still offers a constant threat. He's similar to Martins in that respect.

 

Duff offers more huff and puff and is less of a risk player, but he offers far less end product.

[Minhosa]

We need to get Jonas involved more. He's been our only threat from Midfield imo.

[indi]

I know it's stating the obvious, but the centre of midfield is a huge problem for us. They don't offer enough protection for the defence meaning we're always under pressure and they don't create enough either, meaning Owen and Martins are always having to drop back looking for the ball.

[Optimistic Nut]

I'd give that a 7 out of 10.

[S.S.R.]

Portsmouth pretty poor.

 

There for the taking.

[Dave]

Correct.

[Scribble]

good 1st half, unlucky not to be a goal up there

[midds]

Not too bad at all.

 

Not often I've said it but the ref's been excellent so far.

[Dave]

I wonder whether Kinnear will tell them they're attacking too much.

[S.S.R.]

Nothings going on in the midfield, we could surely sacrifice Butt for Geremi.

[James]

Think we may be better off at 0-0 than a 1-0 lead at HT.

[Mr Logic]

good 1st half, unlucky not to be a goal up there

 

That can all change with some of Joe K's substitutions second half.

[Syrette]

Not often I've said it but the ref's been excellent so far.

 

Not too much for him to deal with to be fair. Which is a good thing.

[Optimistic Nut]

Think we may be better off at 0-0 than a 1-0 lead at HT.

 

You really do come out with some crap.

[indi]

Think we may be better off at 0-0 than a 1-0 lead at HT.

 

I know what you mean.

[KaKa]

Jonas hasn't been in the game at all. Kinnear's solution rather than instructing us to pass him the ball more will be to take him off.

 

I'm worried about the same thing.

 

In my nightmare the same will apply to Zoggy with Duff.

[Dave]

Think we may be better off at 0-0 than a 1-0 lead at HT.

He's probably right. At 1-0 that would certainly be the end of the forward play.

[johnnypd]

points there for the taking if we can continue playing like this but with a bit more precision and luck. if we try to sit back and hold out the chances are we'll lose.

[Nobody]

Good first half. Feel we could do better if we were a bit more aggressive, we could put some real pressure on them if we pushed for it. Martins is looking lethal, he's done almost everything right so far.
