       we made hard work of this game should of done better but the
       main aim is to win which we did but at a cost as my keeper is
       now out for 1 game which isnt to bad i suppose can we cope
       without him though

       Back to the bad times by the looks of it! Just 34 percent
       possession and only 4 efforts on goal. Bruffio, well played and
       well deserved.
       But it’s a struggle to know where to start analysing the side
       after a game like this, the fans booing us at home for the first
       time shows there’s real pressure on the management and coaching
       team right now, and we are staring down the face of what is
       becoming our worst season to date.

       [move]Helsinki Hellhounds 2 - 1 Pompey Chimes[/move]
       Overview
       Ladies and gentleman. The first leg of this last 16 match up
       took place last night and the result leaves this tie on a
       literal cliff edge! Hellhounds had the best of the match and ran
       out deserved winners by two goals to one... but at what cost!?
       How they lined up
       Hellsinki favoured an attacking approach with a defensive
       formation - both firsts for the manager since he came to the
       league just a few short weeks ago. That saw a five man defence
       and just Laszlo Kiss in the final third hunting for scraps.
       Pompey lined up almost as defensively as their opponents, no
       doubt happy for a first leg draw and to take it back to Fratton
       Park, but at least had an attacking midfielder to compliment
       Crouchy (who I once bumped into at London Zoo) up front.
       Match action
       It was a relatively quiet opening period with chances at a
       premium for both clubs. It actually wasn't until the 20 th
       minute of the game that the first real chance came and it fell
       to Laszlo Kiss. DeDavis_Roy - so often instrumental in the
       midfield since he's joined - who held onto the ball in midfield,
       played a delightful ball into Kiss who shot first time and found
       a way past the illustrious James in goal. 1 - 0 Hellhounds.
       Pompey opened up after that and started to attack more. The game
       become end to end but lacked real quality in the final third.
       For a while the fans had to be content with a succession of
       corners. But a delightful backheel from McGlouglin found
       Merryweather on 37 mins and he finished in the corner to
       equalise. 1 - 1 !!
       Into the second half and it was that man DeDavis_Roy once again.
       on 57 minutes he held off a defender, bundles his way through
       and curled a right footer over the keeper and into the net to
       give Helsinki a 2 - 1 lead!
       Substitutions followed with 3 for Hellsinki and 1 for Pompey and
       that broke up the rhythum of the game and it ended 2 - 1 . A
       narrow lead for Helsinki to take into the second leg and
       probably a case of honours even at this stage of the tie.
       Nine men!
       One quirk of the game was that Hellsinki actually finished the
       game with nine men!! Having used up their substitutes with 20
       minutes to go, they then lost key midfielder Guam Honest on 76
       minutes [it was bad news after the game as he'll be out for 2
       weeks] and Laszlo Kiss very late in the game [he'll be missing
       just for this weekend's game].

       Golden Eagles FC have 1 foot in the Xbox League Cup Quarter
       finals after beating Artic Storm 4-0 in last night's Round of 16
       1st leg game. The score line was maybe a little harsh on Storm,
       as both sides having limited chances (only 6 shots each), but
       Eagles had the more clinical finishing. Alessio Kovacic opened
       the scoring in the 5th minute after slipping his marker and
       hitting a lovely curling strike with outside of his right foot!
       Frenchman Darío Bourrin made it 2-0 in the 22nd minute, after
       Rodrigo Desábato played him through.
       A minute later, Min So Jouy picked out Jans Goisthalt, whose
       rocket of a shot looked to be going over the bar before suddenly
       dipping at the last minute. Storm's keeper Ed Jackson clearly
       though it was going to miss, as he held his head in his hands.
       Things got even worse in the 33rd minute, as Bourrin played a
       free-kick to Pavel Chernyshev who smashed home a 20-yard effort
       to make it 4-0 with barelly a 3rd of the game to go.
       The second half got quite scrappy, as Storm were now playing a
       game of damage limitations, rather than risking falling even
       further behind. With not much threat coming from the away side,
       Eagles made a triple change on the hour mark; Eric Van Oist,
       Alessio Kovacic and Jans Goisthalt were rested for the final 30
       minutes. Mauro Sotomayor, Anders Limt and Milos Potkozara&#269;
       took their places.
       There was 1 flash point moment in the 83rd minute, Rory Abbott
       up-ended Taavi Ruusumäki with a super late challenge. Somehow
       Abbott only ended up with warning, much to Ruusumäki's
       annoyance. His manager shared his player's sentiments, as TV
       re-plays showed showed the midfielder had gone in with his studs
       up!
       Although Eagles had a few players putting in some great
       performances, Darío Bourrin was by far the best player on the
       pitch, with 4 key passes, a goal and an assist. Clearly the
       French midfield maestro is back to his best.
       "A great result today, a really nice cushion for next week's 2nd
       leg and another clean sheet. Very proud of how the team is
       performing, Darío put on a materclass today, Artem is doing
       brilliantly as captain and was nice to see Alessio back among
       the goals."
       Jans Goisthalt's strike was his 15th of the season and he
       remains Eagles' top scorer. Pavel Chernyshev took his tally to
       14 and Alessio Kovacic is now on 9. While both Darío Bourrin and
       Min So Jouy, now have 7 assists apiece.
       Eagles now face another tough league game on Saturday, this time
       they host Cockney Cockrells who sit 2nd, 2 points behind top
       spot and 4 ahead of the Finnish outfit. A win is certainly
       crucial and Eagles will also be out for some vengeance after
       losing 1-2 against Cockrells in week 2.
