I really hate to say this, but Pompey are clearly the better team here. Tonda needs to change something. If we're gonna persist with hitting it long then FFS get Stewart on.

It's a poor performance overall. We're just panicking and launching long balls forward with no midfield control at all. But despite that, we have had the two best chances so far.

THB left that but it was much closer than he probably thought it was.

Very ill-disciplined there. 4 or 5 players clustered on our right side leaving acres of space for Pompey on the other side.

A classic example of Arma having too much time to think about it.

Matsuki needs to calm the fuck down.

Don't think he was ever part of the first team squad at City though. Went straight from U21s out on loan I believe.

I've heard this argument made many times over the years and it always irks me. What's to stop them getting a 'proper' job once their playing days are over?

He's been shown the door plenty of times, but just refused to walk through it. He knows he's not gonna get paid anything like what he's on here elsewhere, unless he goes to Saudi which I gather he was trying to arrange in the summer. Just another in a very long list of terrible recruitment decisions over recent years. He was a useful squad player in our promotion season, but has been utterly horrendous the rest of his time here, never once showing the slightest sign of value for the wages we're paying him.

Yeah that's not a credible account at all. If he'd done his ACL, there's no way he would stay at Stoke for treatment cos he won't play again this season and there's zero chance they would exercise the option to buy in the summer.

They had a higher XG than us so deserved to win, right? That's exactly what Tonda said about us when we lost to Hull on Saturday.

Full time. We won. And got a clean sheet. But I feel absolutely nothing. I've had to emotionally detach myself for my own wellbeing, so I can't muster anything to celebrate a win. Another awful second half performance. Was Leo's header the only chance we had after HT?

Well we couldn't go the whole game without bringing on another CB could we.

Ooof. Too close.

Manning on to protect the clean sheet.

Argh! Great chance but headed it straight at Cooper.

Hoever taken off. Looked sensible from a Utd perspective - he was blowing out of his arse.

Ref just brushed it off.

Bamford coming on. Equaliser incoming.

Leo left him for dust.

God save Cooper. Baz would have let that in.

Oh Azaz.

Welington is soooo much better at defending than Manning. It's fucking bonkers how Manning has been keeping him out of the side.

He's on the bench tonight.

Tequila?
