The Kraken

Which same folk are these? I don’t think I’ve seen a single post saying “don’t change a winning team” but I guess there must be loads of them to elicit this response.

Jones interview is up on BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64272710 my favourite nuggets…. ”We’re a really really difficult side to beat”. No Nath, we aren’t. We’ve lost 7 of our last 8 league games. “If you take out counter attacks and set plays we don’t concede any goals”. Right…. ”The performance levels are there, we have to turn them into productive results”. Cups aside, our performance levels have been below par. Keep talking the good talk Jonesey. Fucking rubbish today nipper.

Le Saux, Oakley, A Svensson, Prutton, Kenwyne. And even Henri Camara is better than the shit we’ve got up top this season.

Lavia is clearly being closely managed with game time, I think that’s 3 games in a row he’s been subbed on the hour.

Fair enough, didn’t see that. Personally I thought the elbow in itself was enough to convince a ref (harsh, but can understand why it might be given), but if he’s trod on his foot as well and it’s given for that then so be it.

He just doesn’t seem to make many saves. Ok, todays was a tough one, but we’ve had keepers before who might have saved that. I could almost get on board with the odd howler if he was otherwise exceptional, but he just doesn’t seem to be very good. Also his decision making is all over the place, he looked an absolute mess in the first half. How far we’ve fallen that AMc is being suggested to replace him. Pompey fans said about Bazunu that he makes mistakes but is an excellent shot stopper. I just don’t see that, he looks a bag of nerves and doesn’t have a presence.

It was a harsh call but you can see why it was given, Elmo leant into his back with his elbow, the defender made the most of it. Once it went to var it was always going to be given.

Quite worrying really. We’ve signed 10 players this season. 1 is injured, 1 didn’t make the match day 20, 4 others were on the bench. Our two latest signings, and therefore you’d have hoped our real hopes of improvement, spent almost all of the game on the bench, Orsic came on with 6 minutes to go, Alcatraz nothing. Serve shite up like that and we’re going down with a whimper.

It can’t be much worse tbf.

Fuck off linesman. Blind cunt.

Good play Moussa.

Mara must do better there. Tough chance but that was a clearance.

It’s the hope that kills you 😔

Let’s face it, this has been a fucking poor performance.

Crisp packet wrists.

Oh good, Coutinho on.

Fucks sake. Probably right tbf.

Oh Ffs, VAR.

Excellent from KWP. Fortunate on the shot but meh.

Yeeeeeees!!

What a chance that was.

Looks like he is, there was movement on the bench. Jones likes to make subs on the hour mark.

Sadly not. Brentford v Wolves last year was stopped for nearly 20 minutes.

WTAF?!

Was thinking the same. Edozie has the capability for flashes of brilliance but this half he hasn’t really got into the game.
