🎧 A lot to like, but Schmid is elephant in the room

On BBC Radio Solent's Who Needs Mourinho? podcast, pundits highlighted goalkeeper Nico Schmid's performance as an "elephant in the room" following Portsmouth's 2-1 defeat against Stoke City. Former Portsmouth defender Paul Robinson remarked that Schmid's costly mistake on Stoke's first goal gave the opposition an avoidable lift and placed the goalkeeper under mounting scrutiny.

The 2-1 home defeat at Fratton Park officially snapped Portsmouth's six-game unbeaten streak, leaving the club sitting in 11th place heading into the international break. Alongside Robinson, presenters Andrew Moon and Chris Wise analyzed Portsmouth's first-half control of the match and addressed broader questions surrounding the team's goalkeeping situation.
