Whether it’s nerves or a slightly bobbly pitch, City have been very poor on the ball so far. Simple passes are not finding their back and they’re not even connecting properly when they go for the big hoofs up the pitch.
Meanwhile, we’re getting an early Portsmouth change. Anderson, who only came into the team today, looks to have hurt his hamstring. Segecic, who he replaced in the starting line-up, comes on. That’s a new man for Thomas to look after.
