hypochondriac Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 WTF? Saying that all Southampton fans want Portsmouth to prosper??? F*ck off.
suewhistle Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Interesting. It's a pre-season friendly and it sometimes difficult to gauge things, but JWP looks the part. Wasn't sure if the initial formation/lack of ambition was a realistic assessment of how we could be up against it occasionally in the prem and needed to practise absorbing pressure, but we've changed it and improved things. Clyne looks useful, "Julie" doing some good things, Lambert (I agree) looks a bit heavy but we know how it takes him time to get fit. Who knows what will happen in the second half, but it does suggest we're better than Celtic - perhaps that's not saying much...
ThreeSixty Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Why take Guly off? Christ, even when he plays well he isn't given a chance. I remember people slagging him off after boxing day vs palace. 2 goals in a 2-0 win isn't good enough for some.
Saint_clark Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 WTF? Saying that all Southampton fans want Portsmouth to prosper??? F*ck off. Was it that Jim Beglin bloke saying that? What a numpty.
St Chalet Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 WTF? Saying that all Southampton fans want Portsmouth to prosper??? F*ck off. He clearly meant 'suffer'.
Robsk II Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 I want them to prosper. Just never more so than us.
DrunkenSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Why take Guly off? Christ, even when he plays well he isn't given a chance. like i said he isn't a winger and to make this formation more effective you need proper wingers. Nothing about his performance, he's done well (thats good coming from me) but we should try proper wingers, it's a friendly after all we need to test things.

Smirking_Saint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Drunkensaint ? Why take Guly off ffs ? He has looked v usefull ! Or is it a case of its Guly its guly so he must be ****

dune Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Someone needs to have a quiet word with Lallana about his hair.
Robsk II Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Why don't you do it Dune, I expect you've been a male stylist at some point.
dune Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 guly has been very good IMO He's been given plenty of time on the ball (which he needs). If it'd had been a competitive match his lack of quick thinking would have stood out like a sore thumb.

Appy Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 He's been given plenty of time on the ball (which he needs). If it'd had been a competitive match his lack of quick thinking would have stood out like a sore thumb. Would you ever praise him?
dune Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Why don't you do it Dune, I expect you've been a male stylist at some point. I might have known it'd be one of the gingers that was first to have complex on this issue.
CanadaSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Ward Prowse isn't half a neat player. Yes, you can see his self-belief grow - demanding the ball, taking almost a leadership kind of role.
CanadaSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 I wouldn't blame Richardson for that but I don't think it would have been scored if the much quicker Clyne was still there.
Jonnyboy Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Lambo's not missed many meals this summer. Kelvs growing a bit of a double chin too.
ThreeSixty Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Billy Sharp and Luke Shaw coming on. Sharp looks in great shape. Like 0% body fat shape.
CanadaSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Sharp looks in great shape. Like 0% body fat shape. Let's see if his speed over the first ten yards has improved. If it has he'll be a real asset.
Thedelldays Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 sharp must have been in two minds there...what a through ball by morgan
doggface Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Sharp should have scored, looks bright Fontes mistakes will be punished at this level.
dune Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 One would have expected a player on his wages wouldn't go all inclusive.
Asaint4ever Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 So we have changed the team around 2nd half! But the 2 cb aint been changed? Weird.... : )
Thedelldays Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 we have looked good for most of the game. got into great positions just the final ball at times has been just missing. very promising
doubleonothing Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Not a bad performance overall really. Positives to be taken.
MOSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 encouraging performance, missing a bit of sharpness in the final third but that will come as they get more games under their belt. Fonte did himself no favours.
Thedelldays Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 what ever adkins said around the 20 min marked..it worked..we were bossing the game with ease until they scored...again, just missed that final ball...got in the positions though clyne lallana JWP Guly very good we certainly need a CB...fonte gave his usual 1 howler for the game also, when he miss judges the ball, he and joe are very slow to get back into position. definitely need a touch of pace in the CB area
MOSaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Ajax didn't create anything of note until they scored and that was gifted to them. After the goal it was hard to really judge because NA started ringing in the changes not long afterwards.
