Defeat in final pre-season game

After three successive triumphs in the annual Thomas Cook Challenge season curtain raiser, we fell to a 1-0 defeat to Porto yesterday in what was considered to be a largely uninspiring performance played out in front of 20,000 spectators.

From the reports of the game I don't think Pearce would have found too many answers to the questions he still has to answer heading into the season and although it was only a pre-season game with some players missing from the line-up it would have been nice to head into the Chelsea game with a win and couple of goals behind us.
