Ref not looking to want to give much away early on

Pompey shot goes wide. Should have done better

[Nick]

Andreu should have shot.

 

[ccfcway]

soo close....

 

[Johhny Blue]

Ottawa by any chance?

Calgary

 

[skyblueelephant76]

He's the nearest we have to another Chaplin, so obviously MR will re-jig the formation to give Andreu, who is the nearest we have to another Cole, a game.

Chaplin has been mostly playing deep, Jordy needs to play on the last man. They are not similar.

Shipley misses a driven cross from JCH to put us 1-0 up but Pompey go straight up the other end and miss a clear cut chance

should be 0-1

 

[Nick]

Very lucky then, they properly opened us up like our defence werent there.

 

[Grendel]

Good play clarke Harris no one meets him in the middle then a good chance wasted at the other end

 

[covcity4life]

Bayliss being pussy on floor and we nearly concede

 

[Nick]

Thomas goes on a run but nobody at all in the box.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Andreu showing why he’s the wrong choice alongside JCH, as the latter wins a flick on the former can’t capitalise on due to lack of pace and movement.

Also, Shipley’s started poorly.

 

[covcity4life]

Fuking get the cross in Shipley. Shocking

 

[Nick]

Shipley wastes a good chance to cross after some good work from JCH.

Breaker of counter attacks.

 

[Grendel]

A pathetic corner by Doyle then

I said "the nearest" ie a quick footed striker. I didn't say "a clone".

 

[covcity4life]

Much better cross from Shipley but we offside in middle

 

[Nick]

Surely somebody can take a better corner and not be offside than Doyle? Schoolboy.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Got City down to win this tonight. Something to do with an away fixture on a Tuesday night for Portsmouth.

Fingers crossed!

Sterling has started well.

I like him as a player and technically he’s good, but on a fast moving pitch against two Big centre backs, alongside a quasi target man, I’m failing to see the logic behind Andreu. He needs pace in front of him, which he hasn’t got.

He's wasted there, his strength is picking a pass. Whats the point if there's nobody to pass to.

He isn't a striker either.

 

[Nick]

We are so wasteful with the ball going forward.

Why is he still taking set pieces?

Because it went out off their player

It's called having no confidence in his other two options which is strange.

Funny guy!

Refs strutting around like a prize cock.

Sterling booked, can see them targeting him now.

I couldn't resist. Airport lounges are boring

 

[Nick]

Davies has won everything in the air so far.

 

[Grendel]

Why doesn’t Andreu shoot?

 

[Nick]

In the perfect range then as well. Clear sight of goal.

Passed to somebody with about 3 men round him.

 

[Nick]

Thomas has been pretty quiet.

Bayliss shot blocked, throw in to us.

 

[Nick]

Thomas snapped with a trailing leg, ref isnt considering a booking.

If it's a foul then it's a booking.
