Lots of our creativity comes from our wide players in this system and sessegnon and Emerson are just crippling

It's exasperated in a game like today with Pompey playing a back 8 system and little space so you need quality out wide to stretch.

We can't do anything about the rather useless sessegnon as we only have peri and destiny comes next season. but got to bin royal off this window, Doherty should be back up as he at least has a flake of attacking instinct
 
The player selection due any help but also think the way conte coaches or doesn’t isn’t helping. We have no dicernable style of football so players can’t just come in and pick up the baton. If we had a proper style of play and all the players were coached in that mn we we would look a lot better.
As it is royal just jogs with the ball, stops then passes back. Absolute no pace or energy in the play. How da fuck dues conte let this happen and actually like this shite? Every bloody game.
 
Portsmouth are just defending their penalty box with 11 players, with the team we have out there it’s always going to be a slog.

It’s made even worse because we have a player out there at RWB who genuinely cannot play football.
 
Sarr been our best player here. Not that that says much, we’ve been dogshit. Idealess in final third and zero penetration. Emerson off for Spence and PEH on for skip around the 60 min mark. Don’t hate idea of seeing white on early too.
 
The fact that everyone just stands there and allows Kane to keep taking free kicks is alarming.
Conte needs to take most of the blame tbf.

He's keeping Kane sweet on something that is hindering us.

The rest goes to Harry for just being selfish about it and putting himself before the team.

If I took half the dogshit freekicks he did i would be in the manager's office saying never let me take one again, gaffer.
 
Another first half without scoring. Portsmouth will take confidence and with our error prone defenders that is dangerous. Need to get a goal quickly to kill this.
