Great fight back but..........

It was a great fight back but certainly there must be questions raised about Rafa's starting team selection. Kyut, Torres, Alonso were on the bench. Who was in midfield? Aurelio and Arbeloa. He played Skrtel, Carra and Agger at the back. N'gog was our striker. I dun understand his argument about resting players when the next league game is at least a full week away. We needed the 3 points and that's not the way to signal your intentions. If we had lost or drawn the game, I am very sure the reaction will be very different. It was very tough to watch the game. We were trailing by a goal in the 85th minute!! I am sure luck has a huge part to play in the game. Scoring the winning goal in injury time doesn't happen all the time.

Against a Portsmouth team that had only won twice at home, it certainly looked like an easy game. However. it didn't turn 0ut that way. We conceded two silly goals from poor defending and put ourselves under tremendous pressure. Both their goals coming straight after we made our blunders at the other end of the pitch. Firstly Babel missed a sitter (and he needs to be shot in the head for that) right in front of goal and then Kyut had his goal disallowed. On both occasions, Pompey cam back and scored.

I said the win against Chelsea may be the turning point in the season. Although we lost to Everton in midweek, this win against Pompey will go a long way to change the attitude and mentality of our players. We know that there is hunger and desire in the team, we just need to start playing like champions again!! I don't understand why Robbie Keane was sold. Rafa better pray daily that Torres remains fit and injury free. If he does, we will have a player that may just bring us the League title. If he doesn't, I am sure Rafa will receive a lot of stick for selling Robbie. We dun have another credible striker. N'gog is useless. Kyut is either off side, losses possession or misses the goal most of time. We need another striker as back up for Torres in case he is injured.

Having saifd that, a win is a win and we ought to celebrate it. It's good to be back where we belong....the air is fresh up here!
