    I think we’ll be the stronger team in second half.

    Probably.

    Passing in final third is shocking. Time to
    Replace Pablo with Costa and try something different. Pablos
    Had a poor
    Outing so far

    We look tired and lacking creativity.

    Yep def hardest first half we’ve had yet.

    Need to be on it more in the second half - would be happy with that half away but not at home

    Here’s my observation about Pablo. Great player, but When he has one of his ‘35 year old’ days, he’s off it from the start and never picks it up. He’s been pig awful today. History says he’ll be pig awful all match. Need’s taking off.

    To be fair we’ve been bang average everywhere... foreshaw and Philips been ok, that’s about it.

    Need to up the tempo second half.

    Jim, my first ever game I attended was Portsmouth v Leeds in the mid 80's. Leeds won 3-2 tho we were 1-0 down at half time. From memory a Baird brace and Ritchie.

    Noel Blake scored a consolation at the death for Pompey

    Just seen the stats and surprised as we look better and dominant on those but it doesn’t feel like it at all.

    Hopefully this is when we’ll be glad we’ve got a 15 million player on the bench

    Definitely been no attacking threat from our right hand side, trouble is Pablo can just produce a moment of magic from nothing.

    A Pompey player from that era used to kick his ball against the back of my misses house, her dad used to tell him to **** off and kick that ball somewhere else.
    When Pompey done us 6-1 I had Pompey mates phoning me up i hadn't heard from for years to rub it in.

    Can't keep playing the same 11 every 2-3 days, what's the point of a 'quality squad' when you can't just stick someone in and expect them to be the same standard?

    Pablo's being slated for having a poor half. Would be nice to see some early subs soon.

    Nketiah and Bamford together
