@JamesB getting in your excuses now!

[Nocturama]

Having your excuses lined up is almost as important as selecting your team name!

[JamesB]

@Steve I have to mate but secretly knowing a mid table finish is coming ha ha

[AdamC]

@JamesB sadly more than can be said for where Pompey will finish...

[JoshC]

@AdamC, it will still be a better season than boring Utd.

[JamesB]

@AdamC there is no need for that mate ha ha! But... realistically speaking you may be right.

[JamesB]

@JoshC give the gaffer a call, Gengen press with an attacking 4-4-2

Did you mean gegenpress, or maybe gangnam press!?

[AdamC]

@JoshC West Ham United yeah?

[AdamC]

@JamesB I have a soft spot for Pompey, always wish them the best

[JoshC]

@JamesB nah we generally go with a 4-1-4-1 Wide formation when playing away from home or when up against stronger opposition – the objective of this tactic is to absorb pressure and allow our opponents to have most of the possession until they enter our own half, upon which we then close down immediately to win back the ball and break forward on the counter. By packing/overloading the centre of the pitch with three midfielders, we aim to nullify the opposition’s attacks by narrowing the space and forcing them out wide where we have hard-working wide players and fast full-backs that have strong Tackling, Anticipation, Positioning and Acceleration, and therefore are used to win back the ball and release accordingly

@AdamC Jesus, that's even worse, imagine being a West Ham fan

[JamesB]

@Nocturama Just imagine ha ha

[louisbosco]

Pompey under harry redknapp was quality.. not much can be said about recent years tho

[JamesB]

@JoshC That's what I was meaning to say ha ha

[JoshC]

@JamesB thought so mate, understandable it's very easy to mix up

[JamesB]

@louisbosco Redknapp was amazing and seeing AC Milan at Fratton was an amazing experience, unfortunately, Harry put the club into financial dismay but we are on the up again... fingers crossed

[JamesB]

@JoshC You are the GURU! teach me!

[louisbosco]

@JamesB just want Kanu back

[JamesB]

@louisbosco I agree, so many great players. Who's your all time favourite Pompey player?

[louisbosco]

@JamesB wow that’s a tough one. From the days I remember watching them in the prem. David James stood out the most. Also, as a United fan, I’d never forget the free kick CR7 scored against him. Iirc, it was an fa cup game too
