Fergie:
"Chelsea will have to collapse but we must still focus on our own performances and collect as much as we can.
"Who said we have given up? It hasn't changed. We want to play like we did in the first half here and see what what happens. In a league of this nature, with the competitiveness of it, you will drop points but you have to recover.
"We just have to hope Chelsea have a bad spell.
"We had a job to do here where we have a terrible record over the last two seasons.
"We hadn't scored a goal but we played well in the first half. We got careless in the second half but, to be fair, Portsmouth never gave in and (Lomana) LuaLua gave us problems.'
Of Ronaldo he said: "It was a great first goal by Ronaldo, a magnificent hit.
"He scored two last week and he's capable of that. He has great feet and great shooting power. He should be scoring 15 to 20 goals a season.
"He's quick and brave and should get a few more, but he's had his problems.
Redknapp:
"We showed a lot of character.
"We can still get out of trouble.
"We did it two years ago when we had 21 points from 28 games and there is still all to play for.
"Every time they had an attack they stuck it in the net, but in the second half we showed great pride and created plenty of chances."
