What have Exeter done to deserve that punishment?Crispywood said:Fact I had zero expectations and somehow managed to perform below that takes quite some doing. Just send him back on loan to Exeter0 -

This is what I can’t wrap my head around.Chunes said:Portsmouth got Ebou Adams and Segecic for a combined £1 million. We spent more than that on Millenic Alli.We have a small budget fine it is what it is.
but how have we failed to identify players like Adams who would have improved us massively.Why are the players we sign not got enough when teams make similar level of purchases which work.There’s a fundamental problem with talent ID and acquisition at this club
This is ultimately the biggest problem, okay we've got a small budget but that just means we have to be even more clever with how we use it. Instead we seem to waste it on players that either have already been signed by Chapple or players he was scouting for Luton. I'd have happily re signed Fevrier as wide cover instead of gambling on Alli seemingly just because he'd been signed before by PC.
Would love to know more about how the recruitment setup actually works but we'll never find out.3 -
Agree, but sign of a very mentally weak player.Garrymanilow said:Does feel like that Pompey game broke his brain. Their fans got at him all game and if he'd just finished that easy chance he would have shut them up and we would have won 4 in 7, only lost once and that Stoke game would have been a bad memory. Instead he missed it, disappeared into himself and hasn't kicked a ball right since. He'd looked inconsistent but threatening in spells before that, real sliding doors moment0 -

Absolutely. Since yesterday there seems to be some massive downers on the owners but is it any wonder they are bored of the experiment the way their money has been spent.
When they came in we had a poor but small squad on mainly short contracts. Now we have handed out long contracts to Ahadme, Alli, Apter, Tanto ++. We will see no return on any of these woeful players and quite possibly have to lay them off to leave.
Our hit rate has not been bad, it has been non existent.2 -
Wether he's ready or not he's a fearless player who backs himself.Clem_Snide said:He looks terrified whenever he comes on. Proper rabbit in headlights stuff.
I know absolutely nothing about Nkeng and have no idea why he isn't playing for the U21s, but surely, in the situation we find ourselves in a wildcard off the bench has got to be worth a go?0 -
I know this is tongue in cheek, but I can unequivocally say I'd prefer tanto in the squad. At least he charges about like a headless chicken and makes himself a bit of a pain in the arse. Alli doesn't really run or have the ability to play football2121 said:Whos better alli or tanto?!2 -
Only 4 years? 😉

Apart from the goal and assist, did you think he played well?Talal said:Only 4 years? 😉

Maybe he just needs to be loved2

I don't think he was great but he did his job, scored, set up the winner. It's churlish to have a pop after that.Siv_in_Shenzhen said:

To be honest, who gives a shit. He delivered.Siv_in_Shenzhen said:

Spot the guy who wasn't at the game...he battled for 100 minutes like a man who'd been told he had to win to liveSELR_addicks said:one swallow doesn't make a summer8 -
He certainly didn’t play badly. Beat his man a few times, worked hard, contributed defensively and ran himself into the ground. Oh and we don’t score either goal without him. Not sure what more you can ask of himSiv_in_Shenzhen said:

First win in 12 games and his first comment all day is a petty negative one.SELR_addicks said:one swallow doesn't make a summer12 -
Well this was that one in ten game, I guess.thenewbie said:
I have a feeling he's going to be one of those wingers who once every ten games does something truly brilliant or scores a stunning goal and in the other 9 you have to remind yourself hes even on the pitch.VanbrughHill said:Bit early to say yet and he’s been reduced to substitute appearances and a cup game - but can’t say I’ve been overly impressed. Some Pompey fans claimed he wasn’t up to Championship standard and I can so far see why. Fingers crossed with a few more games he can turn it around.0 -
Cant ask for more from a winger. A goal and an assist. Nothing else is relevant post match for me.9

Think we just need to accept that if we want to get performances like this today you have to accept his general demeanour and times where he looks utterly hopeless. At times today he was rubbish and others (when it counted) he was brilliant. I think pompey fans said if some one could get him to work a bit harder and iron out the mistakes/confidence issues he would be some player and I think I agree.0

I thought he put another very good ball into the box. Ultimately went to the keeper but I thought that if Godden was on he would have made the run across the keeper. 15mins or so later and that is exactly what happened1 -

Well done all, he clearly read the thread and got himself fired up.
He gave us end product today - isn’t that exactly what we want from a winger?5 -
One of the strangest players I have ever seen, sublime or awful, no in between4
-
Think he played well can't moan at his contributions. Danny Mac was coaching him throughout the game and I'd look to keep them together on that side in the future.5

Its as Pompey fans said: "He'll have good games... and then the next week he'll drive you mad with a terrible one"Don't we're suddenly going to see him turn into a world beater every week, and is just a part of him that we're probably going to have to accept.2

After the Bolton Game, I wrote Alli would play for Mansfield. What an unfortunate autocorrect. I was typing Man... chester Utd.4
-
Helps the team to have two outlets on the wing, same as when it was Small and TC. Since then we've been too easy to defend against. Hopefully Alli can kick on now.9

Millenic, Millenic Alli, floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee!1

Amazing how fickle supporters are.
Hopefully he's had a poor start to his spell with us and it becomes a success.
Football needs wingers.4 -
An incredible metamorphosis from his substitute appearance on Tuesday night. Did really well, both goal and assist were excellent.2
