Jordan regrets missed opportunity

JORDAN'S VIEW Portsmouth 0-1 Arsenal

Portsmouth coach Joe Jordan was left cursing missed chances as they lost unluckily against Arsenal.

Sol Campbell's late goal gave Arsenal a 1-0 win, but Pompey striker Ricardo Fuller missed two gilt-edged chances.

Jordan said: "You have got to take your chances because you are not going to get too many against a team like Arsenal. We didn't and got punished.

"But I take a lot of satisfaction from the way we played. We stopped Arsenal playing and created things of our own."

Jordan added: "We prevented them from playing, gained confidence of our own, and then expressed ourselves individually and as a team.

"The players proved things to themselves in this game. This is a difficult place to come, but we want to make it a a place where we play well and pick up the points.

"We played well but didn't get the points, which is disappointing. But we didn't get turned over and we must take heart from that."
