  • If it hadn't been already, Saturday confirmed it is very much results over performance territory at this stage of the season for Pompey. It was almost as if everything a seething John Mousinho called out on the touchline a fortnight ago at Deepdale had an answer provided for it at Fratton.

The article from MSN discusses the current state of soccer, focusing on the idea that teams are now more focused on achieving results rather than the quality of their performance. It highlights how this shift has led to a pragmatic approach in tactics, where winning by any means necessary, including defensive strategies and time-wasting, has become more prevalent than playing attractive, attacking football. The piece reflects on how this trend might be diminishing the entertainment value of the game, with fans and analysts often lamenting the lack of flair and creativity.
