None of them were carrying any spare players.

muscle, they were all perfectly tuned, fast athletes.

And they could mix it if they had to, but they didn't really have to mix it very much because they were too consummate.

Their set-piece goals at corners.

Do you know, I looked it up because one of, I heard, who was it, before the game saying that they were specialists at set-pieces.

And I looked it up and they're 14, they've scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season from 118 corners.

Of those 14 goals, right, that's almost half of them.

I beg your pardon.

I'm not explaining this very well.

Almost half the goals they've scored in the Premier League this season have been from corners.

So there's absolutely no shame in getting stitched up by an Arsenal caller.

And I would put it to you, there's no shame being stitched up three times.

We weren't really stitched up, actually.

Their tactic was their goalkeeper, Pompey goalkeeper, is their second choice.

Don't know where Schmidt was.

I guess we'll hear about that in the post-match interviews.

And they said, look, they've got their second or third choice left back.

So we'll come down our right.

And they did.

And you can see them choosing to come down the right because Terry Devlin was having yet another fantastic game at right back.
