EPL Talk: Premiership Preview–7. Portsmouth

    Pompey's defense is really, really good. Big, physical backs and a legend between the sticks. If the Defoe/Crouch combo can get on track they can really do some damage.

    Defoe and Crouch can be a great combination. The defense, while good, is getting a little old. They will need some relief at points this season with UEFA Cup games on Thursday and League games on Sunday. David James hopefully has a few more spectacular saves in him without too many 'Calamity James' moments. The midfield should be solid, even with the loss of Muntari. The addition of some depth in defense and midfield should provide us what we need to do well in the UEFA Cup and the League at the same time.

    While we do have a tough start and some tough stretches, we still have to play everyone twice, just like everyone else. In the end, we'll be right back where we were last season. I could see us as high as 6th.

    PLAY UP POMPEY!!!
    POMPEY PLAY UP!!!

    The ascension of Pompey the past few years is an amazing story. Harry Redknapp has done amazing things with this club, and while not a serious challenger for the league, this club has a bright future. Jermaine Defoe showed how good he really is immediately after joining them, and I'm figuring it will be apparent in just a couple months that Peter Crouch's value t0 Pompey will far outweigh his value to Liverpool.
