Portsmouth 0-1 Aston Villa: They deserve something

It was a close match by the two teams but Aston Villa goaled and keep the 3 points leaving Fratton Park that night (morning:Brunei)

It's been so long I haven't watch Pompey and now, I could see a lot of errors in the defense and also the way they strike. Things were doing well against Spurs but I don't know what to say after their lost in the FA Cup.

So many errors from Pompey eventhough it was a 0-1. Pompey deserve something from the match but I guess a four clover didn't grow at Fratton Park for Pompey that night. Belhadj did so many errors that night and I suspect that before Pompey drew with Spurs. His first yellow card was suppose to be a red card from my view. He kicked the Aston Villa guy at the ankle like it's the ball. Just like the commentator said 'he did a disgusting tackle'. My thoughts were answer when he claim another yellow card by a handball that he made in the second half. He deserve to have a red card anyway.

Defense are really low that night until Aston Villa shot the ball and goal but I adore Pompey's defense than Diportivo La Coruna. Just that night Pompey didn't do well. Striking isn't well either for Pompey. Peter Crouch actually have a chance that time but made a bad mistake.

As for Aston Villa, Agbonlahor did a terrible mistake letting that kind of chance go. It was a one-on-one but he blow that chance and did a stupid dicision and shot not even close to the goalpost.

The way I see it Pompey could improve by letting Wilson play instead of Belhadj. He needs more practise on passing and accurasy. Not that I hate him, it's just that he needs practise.

Defense is low and I can see that. It should be more than 2 people at the back and I guarantee that Pompey will stay in the game if defenders defend the other team's strikers.

Midfield is wasting their time passing. I was thinking if they waste their time passing, other teams might steal the ball from them and defenders might move up just to pass the ball at each other leaving their side empty without defenders. Why don't the defenders just stick to defending the strikers and midfield, just kick the ball to the strikers.

Strikers should work on heading and accurasy and try to score in more angles instead of one angle that is the top bar. Small chances are available if they kept doing that. Plus, try to improve shooting with both foot instead of the foot they are used to. Trying this might work.

I'm recommending this position:
4-3-3

Johnson, Campbell, Distin, wilson, Pennant, Davis, Mullins, Kanu, Crouch, Nugent.



Distin heads the ball away from Aston Villa players.



The ball is punched away by Aston Villa's keeper.



Utaka win the ball from the Aston Villa player.



Pennant on the ground doing something...



Mullins did a great job at the match.



Davis shot on goal attempt
