Official Porstmouth v City thread.

[PistonBlue]

We just looked clueless again today, no shape again, no width, no apparent attacking ideas. Too many long aimless balls again, too often giving the ball away.

How many times did we get behind their defence?
How many times did we have any kind of threat in front of goal?

We played a team that hasn't won at home since fucking November and we didn't even threaten them. And I don't go in for the new manager syndrome either, they were almost as bad as us, they didn't look inspired at all.


I'm trying to avoid the knee-jerk 'Hughes out' but we've seen performances like this too often this season, and I don't think Hughes has any answers. By the end of the game I couldn't even see what our fucking formation was, we were all over the place. Elano and Bellamy were at right back at one stage!

WITH THE PLAYERS WE HAVE, WE SHOULD BE MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.

So you want Scolari to replace Hughes because of baffling tactics?

Take it you don't speak to many Chelsea fans then!!!

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Nobody can defend a perfomance like that today utter ruubish

I agree, I watched the game in the local pub and it was as bad an away performance that I've seen this season. Hughes' tactics are bizarre to say the least and we'll be lucky to pick up any points away from home if there are many more performances of that standard. To sum up Crap!!

someone said (can't find it now) that Scolari would have it in the terms of his pay-off that he can't take over another PL side this season - but surely we have the financial power to cicrumvent that if we really wanted to, Scolari hands his pay-off back, we fully reimburse Scolari.

having said I don't think it will happen because the owners don't seem given to rash decisions and unfortunately I think Hughes will be here until the end of the season (although it's looking more and more likely he will be off then, barring a massive turnaround which looks unlikely..)

I would take Hughes over Scolari, and that's saying something.

I can understand you saying that because obviously Scolari hasn't done anything this season to show that he's a good manager in this league - but do you not have that feeling that Robbie and Elano would just play for him?

bottom line is they (and a few others besides) just don't seem to want to play for MH, and these are important players we're talking about..

why would they want to play for him why did he play a kid at right back his debut too away from home ffs all he had to do was slot zab back there just play with 1 holding mid and play 442 ts not fucking rocket science

we should be 5th/6th at the least, with the capability to break into the top 4. but the players arent bothered.

Down to the manager I'm afraid

Is there any 'little men' on here who want a FIGHT !!!

 

[WickyWain]

Hold on people. Are you all forgetting about how poor we are away from home? 2-0 to Porstmouth in my opinion.

You were right. I can't believe some of the people on here who always predict daft wins for City, like a lot predicted 3-0 to us today, there really are some deluded people on this site.

 

[imrebanana]

After Freestylers training ground report i was feeling quite confident 2 hours obviously not long enough
