So Pompey got thrashed by Chelsea , we looked so bad but Chelsea looked fantastic. We might of lost this one anyway but we have played better than this against Chelsea before. I think Redknapp got the tactics wrong this time. I don't mind loosing but not in this fashion. Roll on Manchester United next Monday Play Up Pompey!!!!
Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari:
"I think the owner is happy, like the other fans.
"Portsmouth didn't think we would play like we did and we were more aggressive than last season. I think they were surprised by our team.
"I only give the players the freedom to play and allow them to express their style."
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp:
"You're not going to break into the top four. No-one is this year.
"Spurs have got a squad and can't even win at Middlesbrough, so you start forgetting about them.
"The top four are on another level. We've improved our standard in the last three or four years but, today, you step up into a different level."
