.Cee 50 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The ref had a good performance, too. I wasn't expecting a yellow card to be given to O'Hara for that shirt-pulling on Deco, tbh. It's about time we get fair decisions.Anyways, it's 5 am here so I'm off to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBlue 44 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 there is a lot of people here who knows nothing about football ... that zolayes is for sure one of them ......yes we have improved from the last couple of matches but we weren't good ..... i swear to god if i go with some friends of mine who are just amateurs we well get a 4-0 or a 5-0 scoreline against portsmouth ....we were facing a team who is not only the worst team in the league but he have no hope to stay there as well what do you expect of them specially after the injury of two players ..... when the team is bad just say it there is no shame in it ...... and when we are good we who you call moaners will be there supporting cheering more than anyone else but we will still be looking for more and more improvement .....I can understand where you're coming from but we can build on this result and before the game did it REALLY look like we were going to score 5 today? in all honesty this was going to be a draw or a loss when thinking about our recent away games (or just since we beat arsenal maybe?)Pompey are a team with no fear anymore and that's how they got the result last week so we had to be on our toesI'm happy that the team went out in the 2nd half with the correct mentality and the desire to win which has certainly been lacking lately and when they have that they can actually play.Good subs made today and interesting game vs Villa now but we have to hope for the best, no1 will get ahead of theirselves surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boshman 1,073 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Great result! Not a brilliant first half. We had most of the ball but didn;t really do much with it. Much improved second half though. Moved the ball quicker and always kept going forward to get that extra goal. Something we haven't been doing recently. Very please for Van Aanholt as well. Move on to Villa with a bit of confidence now after a very good performance. Edited March 24, 2010 by boshman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changingman_2000 876 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Unsteady first half but the confidence was flooding back second half. Good performance. Well done all round.And now on to Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernblue 2 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 DON'T be fooled by the hype - this was more classy Chelsea than Calamity James. True, the Portsmouth keeper came up with another clanger to make sure his nickname will stick a lot longer. But without the England stopper this might have been 10-0 as Chelsea made sure their title challenge is alive and kicking again. They arrived at Fratton Park with their credibility, courage and hunger to win the League in question. But after 94 rain-soaked minutes, Carlo Ancelotti's men left no one in doubt they are not prepared to throw the towel in just yet. As a response to the disappointment of the games against Inter Milan and Blackburn, this could not have been more positive. Arsenal are back in third again this morning while Manchester United lead Blues by a solitary point and they are now level on goal difference as well. Ancelotti had called on his players to show courage, desire and commitment in this game - and they didn't let him down. From the very off they chased down every ball, went into every tackle and never turned their back on the task.

Clevemayer 764 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 thought v. aanholt was really impressing... at such an age.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Much better to see us actually line up in a proper 4-3-3, and even playing Deco in the free role had it's advantages. Hopefully we can carry this over to the weekend and more importantly into the Man U game. Was very pleased to see Van Aanholt get a good 20 minutes on the pitch, important also considering the lack of full back options we have at the moment, thought he did good too once he got over some early nerves...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 never doubted the lads to perform for a 5-0 win and they did.<br><br>I wonder what TX has to be negative in the game about it?<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Malouda and Sturridge could've gotten a red instead of a yellow.Both challenges looked unintentional so you can't blame our players for what happened,if Sturridge had gotten a red it would be the worst referee decision against us since Ovrebo.
