Come deep... anyone??

[MCRJON]

Why is neither de jong or zab dropping to get the ball of the back 4, Elano and IReland are out of the game at the mo as all we are doing is pumping it long!!

Were gonna get nothing in the air against this lot, we need someone to come and get the ball and carry it for the 20 yards from defence to the attacking core (see Micheal Johnson).

according to the sky centre report,pompey are mauling us.......surely not??????????????.........

 

[MCRJON]

theyre not exactly mauling us, but were pretty piss poor

 

[staffs_blue]

its a typical city away performance.being out battled and when we have the ball we're pumping it long.

Spot on, not created anything of note! Don't want to be negative but it's like a recurring nightmare where you know what the outcome will be!!!

 

[Freestyler]

The first 45 minutes in a nutshell = bullied, 2 yards slower, out battled, long hopeless shit balls, backwards.......backwards and.......................backwards

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

Absolutly NO cohesion to this city team. No team plan. A mish mash of players.
Defensively all over the place - except Kompany who's been our saviour
Midfield: No forward runs, no drive, no dynamism [as Hughes keeps mentioning]
Up front - er...........

Dont want to sound negative but I cant seee us scoring in a month of sundays and Robinho is NOT interested

Watching this game on the internet - i predict if we WANT to win we will win. Portsmouth are awful. If we can move up a gear and maybe bring Caeicaedo [sp?] on...take robbie off
Prediction 1-0.
