I was reasonably impressed by Wislon on Saturday. He passing was excellent and he broke up play as required. Wonder what his best position is?
Always look on the bright side of life
Either that or we'd be playing a 3-2-4 with Doyle in goal.
There was actually a glitch and didn't send initially, so I quickly typed it out again and missed Shay...I suppose it's because I don't think that position is even up for debate!
Regardless off that eejit i'd still take that formation with duff on the left and McCarthy on the right. To be honest, i dont think the whelan/andrews partnership can continue. Whelan is miles ahead of Andrews imo and i'd like to see wilson or reid in there. Worth mentioning tho if we get O'Hara he'll take the weirdo position. Trap pretty much said he'd go straight into the starting line up
Oh and replace Killer with Ward of course
Playing decent enough in a defensive midfield position in today's FA Cup semi final against Spurs. Piquionne has just scored to make it 1-0 for Portsmouth in extra time.
Edit : Boateng scored a penalty to make it 2 nil. What a win for Pompey. Wilson, Finnan & (O'Hara) into the cup final.

Being watched by Newcastle according to BBC Sport Football Gossip. At least it might keep him in the Premiership.

While Wilson has impressed me, I don't think he's top-half Premier League quality yet. Going to a team like Spurs wouldn't be best for his development.
A season of first team football in the Championship with Portsmouth, or with a lower Premier League team would be a better situation.
I just watched the FA Cup semi-final there, and he looked very impressive. He did everything you'd want a defensive midfielder to do. He really mitigated anything Spurs tried to create in midfield.
Based on that performance, I wouldn't mind seeing him play for Ireland in that defensive centremidfield role with Ireland, as it would really work with the way Trap likes his central players to play. What I like about Wilson's game is that he's not just a destroyer -- he's actually a good passer of the ball. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's a creative player, but he always seems to find a man with his passes, and he did pick the odd penetrating forward pass as well.
Perhaps in a better side we'd see him pick a few more offensive passes.
Anyway, exciting times for Irish midfield prospects. Good luck to Wilson and Finnan in the final, they'll need it!
Fulham look set to win the race for Portsmouth's £4m-rated defender Marc Wilson.
