I think you will find it was something to do with being in the bottom three actually... Not so sure it wasn’t a good thing though at the end of the day.... Maybe we can do better....

Excellent observations not picked up by our Manager ...

Are we going to stand and watch every time they attack!!!

We are not coached at all to defend. Zero coaching. We stand off and let them do what they like just outside our box... Pathetic non existent coaching

Whilst your logic has some merit it only points even more to position we are in. Bottom three is most definitely a massive cross against coming here and much more powerful that the natives making some negative noise ... We are in the bottom three for s very good couple of reasons and nothing has been done. Indeed senior management seem almost totally oblivious. So calm and logical as your idea might be this is a crisis in football terms now and it’s time for the uprising The big dissuading issue is not the crowd it’s bottom three and bottom of the form League in the whole country.... Walcott is a shining example of that!

Apologies for that last ridiculous statement... I do realise MP doesn’t understand tactics at all...

Interesting take ..... You do know that MP follows an al complete opposite ‘tactic’ that which you offer?

Which ever way you look at this it’s starting to smell....

Not sure that stacks up. Pellegrino has radically changed the team on the back of thebodd good performance...

With respect that is not the ‘biggest thing’ that is wrong...

I tend to concentrate on the end product and that faultless. He invested wisely in the training ground ask Ralph - he loves it! Cortese was a winner, ruthless but also didn’t suffer fools... He wasn’t interested in history only the future. He didn’t encourage blind ass licking ex SFC pros but he picked winners and without him our meteoritic rise probably wouldn’t have happened like it did. We have ridden his wave ever since. I didn’t like some of the things he did at the time, however I was wrong and he was right... We are now saddled with an ex this ex that out of touch clumsy rather amateur unambitious small minded part time leader and we are seeing the result in technicolour right now..

There are several ‘facts’ in my post if you care to read it....

I think we can assume that Walcott would have liked to come back here, however our negotiations yet again failed abysmally. It is also safe to assume that Walcott knows a thing or two about what is going on down here and our relentless ‘march’ towards relegation... We obviously wanted him and he was our priority target of that there is no doubt also.... To put up some kind of smoke screen for the reasons we didn’t actually get him here is stretching the imagination. Yet again we did not ‘manage’ the situation and to top it all we have a Manager most decent players would make the same decision about... So how do you propose we entice new players here with out of touch negotiators and an appalling manager?

I don’t think you understand the tactics and coaching which Pellegrino employs are the reason that there is no outlet for a pass as described in one of my earlier posts. Pellegrino is 100% responsible for delivering our coaching and tactics the last time I looked.... Now the chickens really are coming home to roost with Walcott choosing BFS and Everton over us..... How long will senior management sit on their hands and allow the clueless one to continue??? Clueless about tactics, clueless about coaching and It appears clueless about fitness too.....

Pelligrino is completely blind to what is happening tactically in a match. He asks (tells) our ‘wide’ midfielders to run to the centre circle and take a ‘marked’ position in the densely crowded centre of the pitch. This means we have no outlet from our defensive midfielders when we gain procession. This means we either hit it long and hopeful or pass it to a marked wide player who is stood in the centre has no outlet and gets immediately dispossessed unless that player can recycle the ball back to the defensive midfield or drfender who is by now being pressed by opposition attackers so has no outlet and repeat.... Pellegrino is so far out of his depth it’s frightening....Our ‘tactic’ is to be standing in a ‘marked’ position and not to support the team mate on the ball.. It is moronic and not even as good as pub football ... To gain some perspective let’s compare for one moment this guy with Pochettino........... Now let’s see if Pellegrino matches up in any single element of his performance compared to him..... Interesting exercise .... Now discuss why we are persevering with blatant incompetence ????

No chance !

I suspect you would not gain any support from Tiss..

Dreamer .....

Why on earth do you ask... it doesn’t matter if anyone is lined up or not ..... Just get rid now..

Oh and Redmond back in on the Left of course! It really that scary with this guy in charge..

Time for a little side bet on the team for the next match- Tadic on the right AGAiN as this bloke never learns where Tadic is most effective. 20 games to find out is criminal....

Fair comment....

Your assumption that critisism on this site comes from the Skates is totally illogical.... Skates would love us to continue doing poorly - wouldn’t they? So my question is why would they be calling for change? It is the ‘Happy Clappies’ that are more likely to be from down the road, if anyone has a motive for seeing our poor management continue it would most definitely be those that love Pompey... Self evident facts are that we are in serious danger of being relegated, this cannot be disputed even by the most optimistic of Happy’s....

Don’t buy this theory. Look closely at what the players are doing and you can see they are acting under explicit instructions. I don’t mean missing chances obviously, however their ridiculous positional play is so deliberate and in some cases completely bizarre that it could only be instructions direct from the Manager that cause the players to act in that way... You have to watch closely and in detail to see this being played out ... The coaching is so appalling he just has to go....

Steven Davis ... I’m not sure what that achieves but then I don’t live on planet Zog ! My local pub landlord who doesn’t follow football has more nous! More and more and more of the same - Muppet !
