Starting to respect Dani Osvaldo for lumping Fonte.

Any MODS care to explain why this thread is being ignored? It's a reasonable request.

Don't condone booing the playing staff unless said player has disrespected the fans/club, complete pleb's and one of the reasons other clubs supporters take the **** out of us. However, what doesn't help is his pony performances (the only consistency he has) and the lack of etiquette when criticising his team mates. In the England set up, Redmond was highly regarded by the coaching and identification team - who felt that is best role was as a number 10, something I agreed with. It doesn't help when that idiot Reed goes public and compares him to Thierry Henry.

Again sentiment rules the SWF. Love his sincere passion for the club, he has stepped up for us on a number of occasions. However, Yoshida is a good 3rd/4th choice centre back.

Pellegrino is just another useless cog in this useless machine. Once he's gone, we still have: Watson Forster Redmond Wilson VVD (although not for long) and the one to ultimately blame... Les Reed.

Well you’ve told me sister! Not buying the bad back story... no issues when he was with the Scotland squad.

Hmmmm there’s more to this than meets the eye. So glad he’s gone (professionally).

Nothing wrong with it, just highlights the idiotic times we live in with gender neutral etc. Where's the offence when the Wayan's brothers 'whitened' up for the film White Chicks? I went as Taribo West to a stag do once....

Adkins, Stachan? Some people allow sentiment to rule their heads. Our problems are much larger than just Pellegrino.

Really frustrated with our treatment of Jack, there's a very talented footballer there. Unfortunately Virgil's behaviour has been detrimental to Stephens.

David Preece (ex goalkeeper - now journo) I hate the fact ex goalkeepers aren’t used as much as they should be. Need to eradicate the usual ******** of ‘shouldn’t be beaten at his best post’ or ‘the keeper has to do better there’. Danny Higinbotham: tactically intelligent and very articulate. G Neville as above. Souness Cannot stand: Danny Murphy Stan Collymore Lawrenson Redknapp Owen Hargreaves Jenas (as a commentator but do like his insights on 5 live to player issues)

What are you on about? Boufal doesn't do the work. Our problem has been we've priotised on being out of possession, we'v had no ideas what to do once we're in possession.

Only 1,700 turned up at Fratton Park today.

No, it'll be a an invitational session out of a facility.

This, I'm so frustrated by this decision. He looked very useful, especially in possession, looked to break lines. Reminded me of Virgil at times. Would've liked to have seen him play alongside VVD.

There's already been a crisis meeting at Pompey, they are now increasing their own presence in the next few months in the area.

This. Followed by Les Reed taking over football opperations. Thirdly, Eric Blacks appointment.

Quite like the idea of them as a combo.

Was sat behind him and Charlotte in Frankie & Bennies, Whitley on Saturday.

I was going to post yesterday but thought it would be wiser to calm the **** down. When the team line up was announced, I like many others was face in hands with defeat. Not because I didn't believe we could win with that team selection, purely because it was so defensive against a side we could tear apart. It's no secret I'm a big fan of Boufal. He is everything I as a coach want children to try to be at times. He is a player who has a genuine connection with the ball - completely comfortable when in a 1v1 or overloaded - this type of player wins you games (we have plenty of these at England Youth Level coming through). Had he played in England - he would of been bollocked left, right and centre for 'fannying around' and would probably be some youtube blogger by now. He's clearly put the hours in the gym - works a lot harder out of possession than last season and is our most direct player (direct isn't a ball into the box - unlike some of the idiotic comments I hear). Which is why I believe that tit Pellegrino doesn't rate him. Pellegrino has a very naive and broad philosophy which is ball retention for 18 yard shooting (a very common basis for Spanish coaching). This for me screams out how one dimensional he is as a coach and judging his by substitutions, how he is more reactive than proactive as a manager. The players look a lot more reserved in possession now - will look to beat their player always by passing, never any variation. Whilst I always believe coaches also improve over time, experience etc - MoPe is evidencing nothing but a rondo facilitating coach. Would love to see our FB's touch map this season in comparison to other seasons = I'd guarantee it's more negative now. Boufal needs to be given a free role position, we as fans need to be more open minded and tolerant of what players like Boufal do (it's an English thing in a nutshell) and he needs to be given the opportunity to gain form - this doesn't happen from the bench. I really disliked us under Puel but finding this season even more difficult; Dave Watson's demeanour on the bench yesterday was a big give away to the situation we have in goal.

You couldn't be any further from the truth.. read my next post.

So unhappy with this...again. But behind the lads in the shirt. Not so much the tits on the front row of the bench.
