@HarvMarksy I am surprised someone hasn't pinned him up against the dressing room wall. A half arsed one trick donkey.

It’s a poor goal conceded by a poor team. It’s one of them. But that’s not the first time Alli has done that in recent weeks. Amount of times he’s mis controlled a simple ball out for a throw in too. Gone from grafting wanting a move to next to no effort at all.

Alli so lazy and half arsed when he gets the ball. Can’t excuse the half arsed tackle attempt from Chaplin but I’m fairly sure he’d just sprinted back to win it initially only for Alli to do that. What’s happened to Alli? Doesn’t look like he wants to be here now. Enjoy Luton pal

@HancockAnalysis He played him because he's the quickest of the alternatives. There's a good player in there. He needs games. Shaugnessey was saved for Oxford.

I understand he’s tall and can cover a lot of ground which helps on big pitches, but I’m slightly surprised that Mousinho has put so much faith in Dia at LCB. Would have Shaughnessy, Bowat and Matthews ahead of him, it’s an interesting call Not sure where I land on him

Still can’t believe that England are going to the World Cup without arguably their best passer. Watching fringe candidates labour at Wembley highlights even more the nonsense of Alexander-Arnold’s omission. He’s a game-changing option from the bench. If you have pace out wide in Gordon/Rashford and Saka/Madueke/Bowen and want to launch a quick counter, TAA can deliver. If England are in a shoutout, he can deliver. Risk/reward. #ENG

@FluentInQuality It is indeed, but that doesn't mean it can't go down a lot more. There are risks with this investment which will induce large sell offs from time to time. Long term it will do very well, IMHO.

We have had enough, social media can only make so much noise. Fratton Park, Mon 6th April, 12.30, Oxford. @Michael_Eisner & @eric_eisner your time is up, we will be protesting, too many lies, too much false hope, all words, no action. Sell up, now. #pompey

@SonStats FWIW, I think the owners have done pretty well. If, and it's a much bigger if now, we stay up, there will be opportunities to pick up good players cheaply. Mousinho has made mistakes. However he should be sacked because he continues doing the same things.

It's a failure of EVERYONE! Don't know about everyone else but I'm not letting the players and coaching staff get away scot free. They were all a disgrace on Saturday! #Pompey
Wayne Harris💙⚽♥️🏆@wayneharrispfc

Let's make one thing abundantly clear If #Pompey go down, it's a failure of our owners. Not the players. Not the coaching staff. On the last day at Fratton vs Birmingham, our fans won't be calling for John's head, or the players heads. They'll be baying for our owners blood

Steve’s the name, don’t wear it out!
Seriously questioning my love for football, though have to add my love for #Pompey will never die. But like all marriages, you can still love someone and have to let them go. That’s the quandary I’m in right now. I’m not one of those fans who wants us to have millions splashed on us like Man City and Chelsea in the past, I just want owners who are sensible but not to the point of being so safe that they’re dangerous. That sadly is what we’re got. Yes the Eisners have given us stability (to a degree), they have made us financially safe - but only because they won’t spend on the squad. A crazy and misdirected attitude as not staying up will lose millions in tv rights, the club would be worth more to any potential buyer or additional investor too. The quality of football reflective of the quality of player from bargain basement signings, clearly on display in lacklustre and extremely disappointing performances like today - which wasn’t the only one but a series of inept and incompetent displays from the players and sadly recently from John Mousinho. That said, it’s not just down to today; in the last nine years, only two seasons have really been anything to cheer about; Kenny Jackett almost sucked the life out of the club and the game, the Cowleys carried emergency CPR and got the blood flowing but just didn’t have the resources available to them for us to be alive and kicking. The appointment of John Mousinho, although leaving many of us completely uninspired at the time gave us all a while to actually enjoy our football again, as he turned our fortunes around and the following season brought us a championship winning promotion. The following season was hard, but it still gave us something to be proud of. This season, Andy Cullen, Brad Wall and Richard Hughes should’ve been backed better by the Eisners and in turn should’ve performed far better than the majority of their at best League 2 standard signings. Haggling over £200k for a player who could well have made the difference between staying up or going down is unforgivable. We are where we are due to wasted money and very poor recruitment, along with a head coach who has found his limitations. That though is neither here nor there; I long lost any interest in the @EPL and it seems I’m one of a growing number; I would actually struggle to give you the names of five players currently playing in that circus freak show. I’m not interested in getting there, I just want mid-table obscurity, nothing too much to ask. Now it looks highly likely that all we have is a future in L1 at best, there’s no way these owners will invest in us to get back up, there’s cost this and last season gas frightened them - so really, they’re not the owners we need. I’ve seen us at our lowest ebb, I’ve seen us at our pinnacle, but today just underlined how tragically out of touch our owners are and our hopes are. I can’t see us getting back up into the Championship in my lifetime unless we have an owner who is cautious but willing to try to move up.

@PompeyFlag @Pompey Bang on the money. He has destroyed Chaplin playing him out of position. Swanson will leave if he stays, because he victimised him. Get rid in the next 24 hours.

@Pompey Mousinho at fault for that garbage. You don't take the defensive steel of Adams & chuck it in the 10 & you DEFINITELY don't put Swift in the 6 when he hates playing there & already cost us goals there. Insane. Manager has to look at himself. Utterly baffling. #Pompey in deep 💩

@BlueArmyAlex Yep. Today having a no legs midfield is the last straw. Recent performances have been so poor. Confidence is on the floor. Call him tonight and get rid. If not both Hughes and him have to go if, more likely when, we are relegated.

@JackDavis10 Dominating the ball? You mean passing it around nearer our goal than theirs and then losing it within two touches as soon it goes anywhere near their goal. Easy to score against us. Force half a dozen corners or pick the ball up and move it forward quickly.

Somehow still not in the relegation zone. We play both Leicester and Oxford. If we don’t see a drastic change in style of play after the international break then we are doomed. Can’t keep dominating the ball, stat padding and hoping it goes in the back of the net. #Pompey

Adams. Probably the best player in our squad for sniffing out a pass and getting stuck in when it matters is in the 10. While Swift who is a natural 10 is playing deeper and fucks is with an stupid error. Crazy set up that’s just cost us a goal. #pompey

@HancockAnalysis Mousinho is highly intelligent, a great communicator and most players buy into his team ethic. However constantly playing players out of position, picking the best paid players regardless of form has cost him and us. Get a @Redknapp back.

Ever since Blackburn game, the team looks a completely different outfit, they don’t know each others rolls, they don’t know who’s going who’s staying, mousinho must of said some damaging stuff in that dressing room, because they are not playing for him right now #Pompey

@pn_neil_allen @pfc_sam IF we stay up and poach players from the three relegated clubs, your view could well change. Those three will be in serious trouble. Now is the time to make Fratton Park rock!!
