Keep calm. We'll win this game.

1st quarter - simply awful

2nd quarter - much better

If 2nd half is like 2nd quarter we can turn this round using plan A.v1.0

But a slow start to the 2nd half and we could easily be 2 down 

Can Enzo motivate a fast start to the 2nd half? 
 

1st 30 minutes we didn't have a shot so I'd say first three quarters awful. Then we have mustered some shots. Think one limp header from Faes has gone on target.

 

I think teams like Millwall enjoy us playing this style. Lot of defending to do but as long as everyone is well drilled and fit, they stand a very good chance of getting at least a point. 

[tom27111]

This is fvcking horrendous. 

 

We might as well be playing with 10 men with Daka on the pitch.

 

He's utterly woeful. 

 

A few others have been shite too.

[StevieH]

Missing Iheanacho's hold up play to bring others into the game. 

[Swarles Barkley]

Terrible refereeing. Should’ve been off as well. Think we’re playing well but of course means nothing if we dont create/take chances

 

big second half needed

Patson Spaka is back

Adds nothing when tightly marked and has next to no technique.

I think we've played really well, despite the scoreline.

 

Our ability to sustain attacks today has been magnificent! I have been really impressed by that aspect of our attacking play, because it's hard to do.

 

Ndidi should have scored, we should have had a penalty, Daka should have hit the target. We are making chances. Unlike some of our previous games when we've struggled, this is more of the "might not be our night but we sure as hell are knocking on the door" type of feel to it.

 

If we keep this up, we should turn this round! Come on Leicester!

Hmmm I'm not so sure that was a good display. It's just a bit slow, Fatawu looks on it and Millwall will tire, but it doesn't look sharp enough in both boxes at the moment.

[westernpark]

We’re not too bad, I don’t think we’ve been at our best but as others say another 45 of that should see the correct score line.

[foxfanazer]

We're not great but the officiating has been outrageous 

[Aus Fox]

By far the better team, I expect us to win this comfortably in the end.

Only thing more frustrating than the referee is the amount of people after 20 games that still don’t understand our style of play.

[sishades]

That was complete and utter shite. The Millwall keeper had so little to do. Fatawu was grossly underused. Appalling! 

[lgfualol]

It’s illegal for our strikers and Mavididi to have 2 good games in a row. 

[Langston]

Garbage, really. These are not good.

 

Fatawu is the obvious bright spark and Wilf / Winks are doing their best. Coady, even allowing for the caveat that he'll be ring rusty and is by all accounts a great guy, looks a frivolous purchase from a footballing point of view so far. He very obviously doesn't fit how Maresca wants us to play. Not a clue what Vestergaard was doing with the pass that lead to the goal, baffling considering he normally makes good decisions on it.

 

Bleurgh, I dunno.

It was better than Hutus effort

Or the Tutsis.

[Tuna]

Said it before but we have to invest in quality in January, another winger and a creative 8.

 

No more useless loans.

 

Yunus and Casadei can go back, a crock and not good enough.

[Jonezy]

That conceded goal was so annoying. The floated ball, that invited the pressure and then one guy in our box with 4 defenders gets the header. Yeez our whole defense felt asleep.

 

Still created plenty, but the clutch lacking again. Daka should do better, Ndidi should do better and the flippin refs shuld be able to see a stone waller.

[Noahfence]

Why are we sooooooo slow to take any free kicks and corners 

[Fox85]

Daka will get 2 goals 2nd half.

 

I can see Millwall getting atleast 1 player maybe even 2 players sent off

Faes had a header saved in the 21st minute but I get your point that we created very little in the opening half hour. Other than the pen shout we've barely threatened and their keeper hasn't made any meaningful saves 

[VictorFox]

Any chance we can bail out that Turkish fella ready for full time 

[RowlattsFox]

Something about midweek games in the championship that make them nearly always shit. 

 

Better finish to the half but Millwall scoring so early is perfect for them. 

Ricardo lost in his completely unnecessary position. KDH shit, touch isn't good enough when he's got so many players around him. For all Ndidis good work it's the sort of game that shows we need a better quality number 8 technically. 

 

Fatawu great. I think we will turn it around tbf.

80% possession and hardly anything of note created. Not good enough.

He can’t dribble or pass and can’t stay on his feet which is why he doesn’t get in the team usually. We need to a new striker badly. 

[FoxinNotts]

All Millwall have to do is frustrate us for 45 more minutes. Think they’ll manage that easy
