Conceding set-pieces a concern from Pompeypublished at 22:46 GMT 26 November<\/p>\n

FT: Sheffield United 3-0 Portsmouth<\/p>\n

The Pompey boss was left disappointed after 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

Portsmouth are within two points of the relegation zone after their defeat at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n

Manager John Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 40 minutes there was absolutely nothing in it, and that was the biggest disappointment. We had a game plan out of possession and thought we executed that very, very well, restricting Sheffield United to very little.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had so many opportunities in the final third to show more quality and we didn\u2019t do that, after I watched a side with a huge amount of quality in the final third on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe red card comes from that. We sling a pointless cross into the box, [Michael] Cooper springs a counter-attack, we concede a corner, and the game changes from that point. Those fine details we need to get better at.”<\/p>\n

On conceding from set-pieces: <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something we\u2019re concerned about. We lose the first contact, haven\u2019t marked aggressively enough or well enough and you are going to get punished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conceding set-pieces a concern from Pompeypublished at 22:46 GMT 26 November 22:46 GMT 26 November FT: Sheffield United…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-311857","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
