We don't actually look like we want to attack them and score. We just look like we want to stay in control. It's odd ( and familiar)

Alexander Arnold is overrated - talent, but too casual, and his passing is not a patch on Maddison.

Still worrying signs in that first half of 'we're better than you' and just relaxing too much. We're 1-0 up against a poor side, yet still allowed them about 3 or 4 half chances, whilst creating very little bar the goal. Go for the throat and put the game to bed.

The Greeks got stuck in, the England players just showed no aggression, and casually stroked the ball around as though they thought they were 'better'. No-one took responsibility.

I realise that - it was just a response to hearing Burrough's name. and the associated thought about MVE in centre midfield (should really have been posted outside the PNE thread - my bad!)

I was wondering about this - can cover both sides as a fullback. I also wondered that if he was covering for MVE, and we were struggling in the middle of the park, whether MVE might be a real nuisance as an attacking midfielder - can cover acres of ground, blistering pace, and would cause havoc...

Not that it tends to make a difference at their place, but ..... they will be missing Dracula (part of his 8 game ban) Will Keane - injured hamstring, and a clever footballer imo Ben Whiteman - one of their key/better midfielders (played alongside Sheaf at Doncaster?) one game ban. So I am...

That's cheered me up mate :ROFLMAO: ;)

Talk about twisting a conversation and putting a nasty slant on it. He was just being polite, having a coffee with his old neighbour, and comes across as a thoroughly nice lad. Just because he knows about our record up there, that makes him an absolute mug?

I have a bias towards him based on him seeming a genuinely nice person, coupled with him having a positive personality (which I would imagine adds to the dressing room atmosphere). I don't mind him as a keeper, either, as I don't see him as being any less of a keeper than the other two (albeit...

In Bardia's cafe Stratford this morning with his next door neighbour, Alan, ( who he befriended when he first moved here) and another City player (think it may have been Dausch - but not a first teamer). I wasn't going to bother him, but my wife walked up to them as we were leaving and said 'my...

No - I'm going, so if we lose, it will only be by one goal (it's a rule I've made up) Anyway, somehow we're going to dig deep and defy the Northern cloggers.

I'm going with an unfounded feeling of positivity in my bones for this - a win, against all odds!

Frustrated with that, but for me, it's the forwards that are failing. EMC and Haji created little out wide, and our main threat was from MVE ( second half) Ironically we played better second half, where we didn't deserve to lose - ref should have sent bloke off for the tackle on Bidders. All ifs...

Just came on here to post the same. Pompey fans must be fuming!

I'm going WWLD - same points, different order! (I'm already getting annoyed at the thought of Ilias Chair after last season at the CBS) :mad:.

I didn't think Blackburn were as dreadful as some have said on here. Someone after the game said that they were like us at Leeds, but at times yesterday, it was just their final ball/ lack of a ball bouncing the right way for them. that prevented them from scoring. They looked far more creative...

MR says Tats injury isn't too bad!

Sakomoto when he came on against Leeds looked after the ball better than most. I think he just needs game time, and he'll get back to his best.

In charge of dealing with pitch invaders, too!
