Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Portsmouth 4 Swansea City 0 | The EFL Championship

[Cooperman]

Williams, Grimes, Fulton. All the architects of this garbage “philosophy” that tops out in mid table and achieves nothing. Play passing football. But play it quicker. Take risks in the final third, turn forward. Lose the ball, win it back. Play players in their positions. It’s not hard. No one wants Cooperball or route one. Just bin this Martin/Williams shite.

The Martin/Williams blueprint involves taking risks in our defensive third. It’s not directly described this way, of course

It’s the nouveau way of playing, the play it like Pep approach, the possession stats look great and the youngsters love it. The only issue is that we haven’t got the players to execute it.

You have to earn the right to play intricate football but we haven't earned that right.
So much of the basics is missing in our performances (sorry to use that word).

At 3-0 I could easily have turned the TV off as there is very little enjoyment watching this team.

May can't come soon enough, whatever our league position

And it’s awful to watch, even when it works.

He’s only a baldy for two months a year. Gets a reseeding every July.

You talking about Rooney or the latest granny he's banging?

Shoot the Cvnts!!

 

[Gors Buster]

Appalling game.
It felt like we were playing with 9 men.
Eom (only one who can hold his head up after that), Bianchini and Ronald were totally isolated.
Peart Harris shitting out of a 50/50 on the edge of their box when we’re 4-0 down summed us up.
Luke and the players were met with a lot of angry stares at the end.
No positives

Were you at the game and did the fans make their dissatisfaction known?

I was.
They didn’t apart from the booing at full time

Well done you for making the effort. Safe travels home.

 

[Pegojack]

Whenever one of our 'strikers' gets the ball, however easy the chance, I don't expect them to score. And nine times out of ten, I'm not disappointed.
Look at Bianchini today. Eom put the ball on his head six yards out and the useless c*nt, with the whole goal to aim at, nods it against the keeper.
And Fulton today was an absolute disgrace. Rugby tackling their forward, then laughing when the free kick was given against him like he thought the whole game was a joke, then they go and score from the free kick. Laugh at that, you useless c*nt.

Martinball beta version, coached by a rookie apprentice - wide boys checking back recycling ad infinitum to recycle possession and boost Williams’ possession stats.
Disgusting, negligent self indulgence.
No positives, no nada

So where are we at!?
That last win was down to Grimes and the backroom staff but today is down to Williams?

Williams need to take the brunt of it and rightly so but surely the players need to be held accountable also because that wasn't acceptable performances from some today.

I expected more from them today but was aware of Portsmouths recent home performances where they have scored 3 in some games and also got 4 very recently also.

Wake up call to the club today and a reminder that we are not as good as some may think and need to turn up in both management and who takes the pitch.

I don't think the manager wants to be there Daps

 

[A4Jack]

Says enough that we didn't even have a booking today

4-0 and not a yellow card

 

[magicdaps10]

Might be the case and know no different myself but the question should be, why doesn't he as he isnt doing a bad job.

Seems there might be some sort of poison that is preventing things moving forward.
