    Good work from Campbell helped by some poor goalkeeping. Decent move

    Won the ball high up, Edwards played in a lovely ball to TC who stepped over the ball, cut outside and drilled in a shot at the near post

    I'm not sure whether that was impressive placement from Tyreece or poor reaction from the keeper , but I'm happy either way.
  • Pompey keepers are always dodgy. Kudos Tyreece.

    Great move that and a great ball by edwards... Would never in a million years have said TC was a striker, fair play Jones, be interesting to see if he gets games there

    Mitchell in 4 and Coventry in 6 will annoy a few purists 
    The new fangled "No 6 sitting midfielder", but no 6 to me will always be a centre back  :)
    Especially weird how people like to talk about a "6" or a "4" these days - when nobody did before - when virtually none of the players they talk about have EVER worn those numbers .

    Good pass from a team with no creativity 😉 good finish but keeper won't be chuffed with that!

    Hopefully this is what TC needs, I personally said in the summer it looked like it was time for him to move on to help kickstart his career but if NJ has got him in a good place and he can turn into a decent striker then fair play. He's certainly one of the best strikers of the ball we have

    Good first 15 mins, but anyway this doesn't count because we always play well against Pompey

    Fabulous bit of obstruction by Jones near the LH touchline

    Our pressing is our playmaker.

    @redman, nope fine here. Check your router.
  • Ramsey looking so much better defensively than Watson so far.

    I always remember some plastic Liverpool fan I used to work with. He said Alan Hansen was the best number 5 he had ever seen. Hansen never even wore number 5 for them.

    Clearly preseason for the Pompey drummer too, absolutely no rhythm or co-ordination to him whatsoever

    Nice quick ball out from Mannion to Ramsey, showing some quick distribution, AMB would have still been farting about there...

    Can I recommend Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson which explains both what those numbers mean and why they came to be known as such. As well as why a "4" in Britain is a "6" in most of the rest of Europe.

    Maybe TC will be our secret weapon this season?

    No but a bit jerry.

  • Showing some controlled possession, and outwitting Pompey in mid field...

    Nice move. Great cross by Ramsay, terrible shot by TC  :D

    Moments like that are where TC doesn’t look a natural striker. Probably could have taken a touch and placed that.

    Alfie, who’s never missed the target in his career, would’ve scored that….. wibble 
  • Ramsey is looking very good.
