Harry is going to rally his troops. I reckon Pompey will fight a bit more in the second half..but perhaps that will give us extra space...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think we are looking good so far. Strong and secure at the back, and we seem to have more movement going forward - less cases of one person trying to take on 5 people.
Ronaldo has been starved of the ball in the first half - most of the pay has gone through Nani who has looked good with some nice touches.
Giggs has looked a bit off the pace - several passes going astray and perhaps looking half a yard short of pace in a couple of instances.
Tevez is looking full of energy, certainly not afraid to chase the ball down and great to see him working hard putting pressure on the Portsmouth defenders.
One thing that has struck me about Nani and Tevez is that they both seem to look for the pass first and try and set up their teammates. They combined brilliantly for Scholes goal.
More pressure in the second half and we could see a couple more goals. Although we have looked secure at the back, I seriously hope we don't leave it at 1-0.

Portsmouth have been really shit. But we have been decent enough. Nani looks as though he can play. Tevez has had a decent debut. Back to the game...

)Link someone please, i want to catch the second half at least.
Chelsea with 67% possession. Hopefully Reading can hold on.
If somebody contacted the admin of this site saying they are not forbidden from having links to streams what the chances they have got people now blocking out these streams somehow? I've tried the Chelsea game aswell and nothing seems to be working?
Anyway on topic another goal early in the 2nd and it'll kill it I think. A goal for Tevez would be nice!

Nani shot saved
We've started the second half well.
James saves Nanis shot
nani nearly with a goal. he should have blasted it earlier.
i'll have that channel by next week thank feck.
nani close....good save
Impossible really, maybe you looked at 'last 5 mins' stats because I'm watching the game and Reading have been a dominant side so far with 11 shots on goal to just 5 from Chelsea. And that weren't 11 lousy shots, a few of them were very good opportunities and one went in.
Nani almost scored!
Giggs takes a shot from the half way line
5 live are saying we are being pissed on a bit
Can we please get a 2nd goal, i'm still not convinced.
5 live are talking shit
It's all United.
