Martin Jol offers his considered verdict on the team's performances over the Christmas period... OUR RESULTS AND performances over Christmas could have been worse, but they could have been better too. Against Liverpool, for me, the first half was a bad one where we couldn't create, while they only had one chance before the stoppage time goal. In the second half I thought we could have scored two or three goals and we played better than them. Dimitar Berbatov came on and made a difference again and, while we had the likes of Jermaine Jenas, Robbie Keane and Aaron Lennon out, they had nearly everyone available to them. I feel we are going in the right direction, but it was disappointing to see our first half performance. Aston Villa was good on Boxing Day and I still think we should have picked up three points at Portsmouth. When you concede a soft goal like we did against Liverpool and Portsmouth through giving the ball away you mostly get punished. We have talked about it and when you lose the ball you must be more decisive and get one or two tackles in to get the ball back. We didn't do that, it is about us and we are still learning. We have great talents. For example, I would not swap Tom Huddlestone for anyone else in England at the moment, but we've got to learn, be better and tougher in the tackle. At Fratton Park I felt we played a good and organised game, but still conceded a soft goal. We should have scored one or two more goals that would have won us the three points away from home, which would have been terrific against a s trong side. I am not satisfied with our return over the Christmas period, but not too disappointed either. It has been a busy period for us and that is something that is really satisfying, Portsmouth was our 10th game in 30 days. Portsmouth have not played in Europe, are no longer in the Carling Cup and we looked as fit as them so that was good. We kept their crowd fairly quiet and were the better team, but if you are on top in a game you have to score goals. We we down at half-time though and I thought the players showed a good reaction. ============================================================================== 圣诞之後的成绩挺糟糕的 但是也可能变好 对上Liverpool的比赛上半我们打的太差 没有攻势 而且还被对方抓住唯一的机会 下半应该可以进两三球 我们打的比他们更好 整个比赛的进行方向很好但是结果让人失望 对Villa的比赛很棒 对Pompey的比赛我们也应该拿下三分的 我们还有很多必须学习 对Liverpool ,Pompey的比赛我们丢了鸟球 因为我们丢球没有一次 ,两次不断的努力把球抢回来 我们因此付出代价 我们有几位有才能的球员 像是Huddlestone 他是同年纪独一无二的 但是他还必须学习 学更硬的断球 在Fratton Park我们打的很好 很有组织性 但是我们丢了个鸟球 下半我们绝对有机会进两球以上全取三分 主队进步很多非常坚强 这阵子的连战让人不是很安心 也不至於失望 Portsmouth除了连在没其他的比赛 我们则是30天内第10场比赛 而我们体力却跟他们一样充沛 这点非常棒 -- 我们反抢和凶狠度应该算是英超倒数的 这点真的要加油 -- 咬人美！ 受伤美！ 正太美！ 嘴炮美！ 拿牌美！ 胸肌美！ 翻滚美！ 没有美的球队都给我输球 赢球美！ 铁人美！ 隐形美！ 放枪美！ 相谈美！ 失误美！ 板凳美！ 抱头美！ --
