Is that their website? Jebus, looks like something I knocked up when I was 14.

You were lucky then. Some of the things my mates knocked up when they were 14 look like fat Susan Boyles now. 

God only knows what they were thinking!

[Livid]

Kaputska for Albrighton was baffling, Vardy for Gray wasn't far behind. We really need to keep our most creative players on the pitch.

 

Wague going off unsettled things at the back. I'm not saying it would have made a difference but Mahrez would have come on if not for that enforced change.

 

We we're asleep for their goal AGAIN!!!

 

They are ruining my mood every single weekend, anyone who believes "It would be so like Leicester to get a result in Seville" is kidding themselves. We are going to get one hell of a hiding, as soon as one goes in the floodgates will open.

 

To quote the opening paragraph in Dickens A Tale of Two City's (Sic)

 

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

So the people who were at the game, would you start Benny on Wednesday after his performance alongside Captain Morgan? 
 
Would you bring Fuchs back in for Chilwell based on how poor Chilwell was and hope the Fuchs of last season turns up?
 
Has Mendy earned a place, Gray? Amartey at right back or Simpson would you say? Come what may on Wednesday?
 
 

why the f**k would anyone want to start morgan

that depends whether the manager was told to do his best to get through the tie or not to worry about defeat. If the latter, then those who were sold tickets by the club should get their money back. just my opinion. Given that Liverpool is a week on Monday, I can't believe some of the 'first team' couldn't have played today and Wednesday and against lpool. 
 
as for the substitutions, surely attacking ones which led to defeat would have been better than what actually happened? And the supporter says would have accepted them better. 

at the end of the day it doesnt matter what team he puts out, that is up to him. just because we have bought tickets doesnt mean we are entitled to see the first 11 all the time. as for the substitutions you are 100% right, god only knows what the reasoning behind those was

A good nights sleep always help rationalise but even I am beginning to lose faith in Claudio

 

we started well with a number looking lively Kaputska, Gray and even Mendy wanted the ball but as the game wore on we came down to their level.

 

sadly the substitutions were dreadful and Chilwell, Wague, Mendy and Musa are not the answer.

 

benny was the one bright spot with gray and both should definitely start on Wednesday .....

Saw the millwall nutters head for our away fans.

typical no class even when they win they need to intimidate.  Also Hope everyone gets home safe.

feel for everyone who were brave enough to attend this hostile ground.

Bits of me are embarrassed at forty year old fat numpties running onto the pitch, or more importantly towards the away fans, a throwback to the bad old days. Then I think well, the extraordinary passion of the crowd was one of the main reasons we won. And you can't have that sort of f*** you passion AND nicely behaved polite behaviour like they have at the sanitised prem grounds.

[Parafox]

The players are determined to make history again this season.

Yep, you've got a reputation and these morons do all they can to preserve it.

You call it extraordinary passion, I'd call it extraordinarily pathetic. Grown men acting that way over a sport is absolutely embarrassing, don't try to justify under some misunderstod perception of 'passion'.

Hmmmm it seems clear the cup itself is low priority... however the game was a chance to let some squad players show form.  If course the team we put out should have had enough to deal with millwall...

But we didnt match their hunger and lost concentration for the goal.... we will have to accept the shame.

Yet what did we learn?  Here's two points:

I was disappointed with chilwell.... he is just so inconsistent.   He will iron this out i am sure. ... but right now its a liability.  I think he needs to increase his strenghth also.  I would not play him in seville.

Shinji created a lot of chances. ... he shpuld have scored....  he was cobfident to attempt to finish and i think he wad unlucky....given our poor rate of creating chances then shinji should start in seville

I think it was fairly obvious Ranieri didn't want to win that game.....

I've always thought this about Chilwell. I think he's our future left back but he ain't as good as people try to make out. You're right, at times he can look a liability 

[MC Prussian]

Okazaki's miss will go down in LCFC folklore.

 

We were the better team in the first half, Millwall paid too much respect and let us have the ball too often and for too long. I liked our link-up play, our passing and determination going forward (a treat on the eye, in particular Kapustka), but the wasted chances or the lack of chances created was unheard of. It was all fine until we reached the Millwall box - the lack of a proper striker showed.

 

Kapustka, Benalouane and Wagué the best players on the pitch yesterday.

 

Why Ranieri took Cabbage off and brought Wasilewski on, persisting with a back four when Millwall were a man down and aching to be put under pressure in their half, remains a mystery.

Did he really want to win this tie or just again interfere with our fortunes by deliberately taking away any momentum or attacking threat going forward?

 

Also, what's the point in bringing on Albrighton when he has nobody up front to turn his crosses into something productive?

 

We had one of the best chances to progress to the sixth round in ages and looking at the remaining opposition in the competition now, likely a great opportunity of getting to the semi-finals.

Heartbreaking, really.

What people cant get into their silly heads, these ASBOS are like this, without the football, every Saturday night, every contential point

in their neanderthal lives.Since Maggie thatcher neither politicians, nor the high rank police officers never grasped or are in denial

Blame football for the yobbish society. Football is the easy collective ventile for these groups.Though there are a few who are just

out for their ideal of doing it  for the Craic.

[Tuna]

This was a glorious opportunity to progress to the final stages of the cup; what the hell was he thinking tactically yesterday? It's a league one team. They have 10 men.

 

Instead, we were dominated. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

The next round is sat 11th

 

we are due to play at arsenal

 

therefore we will have a free weekend which gives us a ten day run to Seville at home. Can we really stay in the tie on Wednesday? 

 

I suspect this this is the reason for ranieri's inept performance - he had no interest in trying to get through but surely even less in a replay. Heading into that last five minutes he must have been in a right state! Thankfully for him we threw it away.

One bright bit for me yesterday

The "on Wednesday night" song I have always sang "we'll be immortal we'll be in blue" thanks to the lads singing behind be yesterday I now know it's "we'll be in Porto we'll be in bruges" easy mistake

Naah that's a misconception, it just feels like that every game because how bad we are at attacking

I've already used the word embarrassed, I've also stated that a pitch invasion is something from the old days, so I'm not trying to justify it, however from my perspective yesterday was that it was passionate and extraordinary. I'm not sure you get that in the socially cleansed sanitised premiership, the by-product of yesterdays events was some of our lot acting up.

Its not about following a team in the "socially cleansed" premier league, whatever that means, its just about grown men actually acting like grown men at a game of football. Grown men with a mental age of 4 that is who want to recreate some shit they saw on a cringeworthy film in your case.

 

Your club has had a terrible reputation for years and its a fact.

 

And dont talk about "passion" either when your next game, your crowd will go down by 10,000 people. Talk to me about passion when youre filling your ground and making noise each week. Not when youre throwing what little loose change you have left.

True, some supporters revel in that rep and to a point we use it, 'no one likes us' and all that, it creates that bunker mentality. You also have to understand that people are attracted to the club for that very reason, youngsters coming along because of some mythical nonsense from way back, we even get tourists turning up expecting to see/experience 'Green Street', I think that is the cringe film.   

 

As one of our previous chairmen said, 'Millwall, a convenient peg to hang societies ills on'.

What are we going to do for those 10 days though? More straight talking team talks? More pizzas? Extra training sessions that the players seemingly dislike? 

 

Or thinking about it more, they could go to Copenhagen in fancy dress?
