Too easy #Pompey

Snapping your hand off for a boring 0-0 tonight 👀 #Pompey

The whole DNA thing from Tuchel clinches it for me: it's the story we tell ourselves that no England team can play like Spain (who of course didn't play "like Spain" for many years) and it simply isn't true: the 1990 England team, for example, had the most attacking quality on the ball in midfield of all the teams in that tournament - Gascoigne, Beardsley, Waddle - but we lost through bad luck - a deflection - and penalties. And then the story gets told and re-told, that England fail on the highest stage, or "we can't play possession football," and the self-consciousness around that poisons things at the root. At some level many England managers, and Tuchel absolutely, think as a first principle that English players aren't touch/possession players - so create a squad to cope with that, ignoring or benching the players who are or might be those sort of players, because they don't fit the team model that comes with that cope - and then the team aren't good enough on the highest stage, yeah, because that first principle is wrong.

It’s a strange old feeling being 1-0 up on 84 minutes and still knowing for a fact you’re going to lose.

@ianhilton Nice one Ian 👍

[JC @jcoles1990]

Really hope Mous doesn’t take our best players Luke Le Roux & Josh Knight to Bristol City with him.. #Pompey

This aged like milk, hilarious #Pompey

[JC @jcoles1990]

That was us trying our absolute hardest btw 💀 #Pompey

[JC @jcoles1990]

Sick to my stomach the way the fans have been disrespected by the club this season. All those years to get out of League One & giving everything to stay up last season, to just chuck it all away through arrogance and laziness of those in charge. Absolutely unforgivable. #Pompey

[JC @jcoles1990]

@ashleybarfoot24 None of them are very good mate, that’s why they play for us 😭

[JC @jcoles1990]

Don’t know who we’re blaming today, is it the owners or Mous? All I know is that I hate this club with a deep, burning passion. Play Up #Pompey.

[JC @jcoles1990]

I know our transfer business is generally infuriating, but grown men crying on social media and posting multiple times a day about not signing a player they’d never heard of until last week will never not be funny to me.. #Pompey

[JC @jcoles1990]

People need to start losing their jobs over these injuries. Scandalous behaviour.. #Pompey

[Andrew Moon @mrandrewmoon]

#Pompey defender Conor Shaughnessy has suffered a significant muscle injury and could face a prolonged period out

[Ollie @cricollie]

I’ve never been more certain that he should be picked ahead of pope

[JC @jcoles1990]

As always, I hate this club with a deep, burning passion. Play Up #Pompey 🫡

[JC @jcoles1990]

Give Pat the urn now, just let Stokesy and the boys finish their golf trip

[Will Macpherson @willis_macp]

England have opted not to send any of the XI from the Perth Test to Canberra for some pink-ball match practice against the PM's XI. So no extra time at the crease for Crawley, Root etc.

Jacob Bethell, Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue will join England Lions for the fixture.

[JC @jcoles1990]

@pivlaar Really struggling to Stokes & co seriously after all this. Proper let themselves down and saying stuff like that makes it 10x worse 😂

[JC @jcoles1990]

England cricket been depressing me since the early hours, now for #Pompey to finish the job this afternoon 😍

[JC @jcoles1990]

@pivlaar As soon he started walking they were looking for any reason to give it out.

[JC @jcoles1990]

@JamesGirling England would have won back to back Euros if we picked non-league players with desire

[JC @jcoles1990]

How fucking pathetic and weak are we. Embarrassing in all areas of the pitch. Can’t blame the owners for the players being lazy and second best to everything #Pompey
