Stalemate. Not much to report on that half: two excellent chances, both spawned thanks to some inexperience and some excellent keeping. Nouble really should have buried his chance. To be fair, he kept his shot down, Cole of two seasons ago would have blasted it over, but he hit it the wrong side of the keeper and far too close to him. Diamanti's follow up was well saved. Did Faubert put in the original pass? It was superb!
For the second, both Collison and Nouble did excellently until the shot, which Collison tried to bend rather than blast and which was at a comfortable saving height and again too close to the keeper: a good effort but Lampard would have tucked it away at Jack's age.
At the back, Tomkins and Spector have done well (except when Tomkins played Chuckle Brothers with Faubert - to you, to me - and nearly let in Boetang). Upson, however, has been poor. Three times he has given away possession carelessly inside our final third. Kovac and Behrami giving good defensive screening and Noble has played his part in keeping it tight but we are offering very little going forward again. Will Cole and Stanislas be sent on if we still haven't scored after 70 minutes?

How the hell are you watching the game?
Well, we scored a goal now...attacking wise we're good..Nouble has been doing well, considering his inexperience..I think we can put Cole on for him at the 75th minute?
It's official. We just cant hold onto a lead.
Like I've always been saying....SACK ZOLA before its to late
I think we are just the sort of team that draw with the worst and the best. I'm not even angry, in fact I do not feel anything, strange.
We could never do what wolves have done, holding liverpool to 0-0 and getting a draw away to the spuds. They deserve to stay up not us, we are crap. Look at us trying to hold on against the might of portsmouth for a point. Not just forwards we need but a decent defence might be nice.
to be fair our players stopped cuz tomkins was down and they scored so portsmouth didnt deserve a point and they shudve had 2 sending OFFS IN MY OPINION
What was Upson doing for their goal?
We let in a stupid goal, and we missed way too many chances...I'm glad we're getting McCarthy and that Cole is back..we'll have some decent finishers on our hands.
