Total Football. Everyone is roaming around everywhere, making it impossible for Pompey to man mark. Haven't seen us play this well in a very long time.

Anderson, Rooney and Giggs are on a whole different level, Anderson in particular, he's gliding around the pitch, picking up the ball from deep, running into space on the left and right hand side, hitting accurate passes. Evra's form is back, he's confidently tackling and robbing anyone coming down that left side.

Beautiful football, just need some more goals to show for it.

It's not inconceivable to say that we could be winning by 5, if we had our shooting boots on then we would be.

HT. We are well in control of the game. However we have missed some very good chances and it still remains 1-0. A very dangerous scoreline to have unless we can make the most of our opportunities in the second half. Dont throw this one away.

Very sloppy stuff. Too many players don't seem focused. Scholes and Ronaldo have been shocking. Anderson has been great, as has Giggs (apart from his finishing).

We should be trashing this shower and working on our goal difference. But they are still very much in the game. Could be in for rude awakening if the players don't start improving their passing.

Dominating and should be a lot more than 1 - 0 up but let's not get carried away. It's not like Portsmouth have taken the game to us. In fact, they've hardly looked like wanting to be involved.

My Sopcast stream has just died. Anyone PM me something solid for the 2nd half?

Anderson has been fantastic. Bossed that midfield.

Scholes quite subdued.

Good to have a pessimistic view, that was way too harsh, particularly after a couple of matches where we have looked like rabbits caught by a headlight of an onrushing car.

If Anderson doesnt score tonight im going on a limp to say he never will! But hes been unbelieveable tonight, it looks like the Anderson we all thought we would see after last season. I am a little worried about our finishing, we really should be out of sight for Pompy now but its only 1 nil which makes me :nervous:

Ach..away and print yer Shite!
Sloppy loss of possession when in dangerous positions is doing my nut in, but having said that this is like the real Utd again...we have it in us to register a shed ful of goals..just need that 2nd to open the floodgates.
(I'll settle for 1 0 mind!)

Sounds like we're playing well. That's the most important thing.
We are playing VERY well mate, too many negative feckers on her for my liking. A few missed placed passes aside, we've totally dominated and have been a joy to watch.

Who's asking ?
Playing well but disappointed with our poor finishing, we could have improved out goal difference considerably if we had taken even half our chances.

Hope that aspect of our play improves second half.

Not surprised. We were brilliant against Porto, I was confident it would give us the boost we needed for the final stretch. Yesterday would've helped too.
