LCFC 3-2 Milll Post Match

Im going to piss off now and enjoy my dinner and maybe grab a doughnut later eh.

The scoreline certainly flatters them. We were utterly dominant throughout. Yep they were tough to break down at times but that was their ambition and to hit us on the counter.
 

Their first goal is avoidable a poor ball from Vestergaard puts Coady under some unwanted and unneeded pressure. 
 

I was frustrated that we failed to get the ball out to Fatawu as little as we did in the first half as he had their wing backs pants down every single time. And how he didn’t get a penalty I’ll never know. 
 

Second half more domination from us, and we got what we deserved. Annoying to concede from a scrappy corner, these are the things we can and should be cutting out. 
 

3 points the most important, back on top and more importantly 11 clear of third.

Completely dominant after they conceded. Need to cut out conceding sloppy goals

They or us

When was the last time we conceded 2 goals in a game?

We have to put a stop to conceding so late on in games. 

We've conceded a whopping 3 goals in the last 30 minutes all season.

 

 

Whilst scoring 20...

Please send a two-four of old fashioned plains, they don't do them at Tims here. They just have to cover them with glaze like some Swedish porn star.

Changes at half-time:

- Pushed Ricardo forwards because Millwall were playing a back 5. So he wants a superiority against their defensive block, hence making it 6 v 5. This is why we blew them away so quickly.

- Changed the 8's round because Millwall brought on a sub because one of their players got booked, and they change the preferred foot of their outside CB's in the defensive 3.

- Changed the pressing trigger to target the players booked, so they were more likely to give the ball away. Means they have to more rash in their passing, meaning we win the ball more often.

 

Will write-up more later, but those changes murdered them.

Amazingly, Liverpool in May

I think we did against Liverpool in the league  cup, but  yeah I think you’re right about the league.. surely no one can hold it against  losing at Anfield..

[TrentFox]

We’re 11 points clear of third, and that’s amazing. So any frustration has to be tempered against that, but I thought we saw elements of us at our best and our worst tonight. The first 30 minutes I wanted to poke my eyes out. Slow, cautious, turgid and lacking energy and creativity. Most of the second half, we were a great mix of control with intentionality. Players looking to go forward rather than backwards. Wilf personified the night - his positions were great; his finishing woeful. 😂. There is only one goal this season and we are on track to achieve it. Results are what matters, so we march on.

If in doubt, Neil Harris is always a decent guess 

He's just been appointed Cambridge manager... But I'd still have gone for him as well!

Oh yeah good point, forgot the cup game. Still, 7 months in the league is pretty impressive...

Liverpool if we are counting cup games, before that last season Fulham maybe.

[Fox 4 Life]

We conceded 2 against one of the most horrible sides in the league. We need to be better but hoping that the Enzo magic keeps growing

I was thinking the opposite just before they scored their second actually, that it was harder work than 3-1 suggested. 

We had 80% possession. Yes it took time to break them down, but we were never really in danger.

Millwall always my favourite team to play with on CM 01/02. Absolute treasure trove of a squad.

 

Neil Harris would always be first out door though. Rubbish!

[Sunbury Fox]

According to the official stats, Millwall had 11 shots, with 6 on target. Anyone else think that has to be wrong?

[Mendi]

Tough game tonight 

[AKCJ]

Can't believe that the first time we concede twice in a game was against a side that spent 95% of the game camped in their own half 

 

 

[CosbehFox]

Didn’t think the first half hour was really that bad - just ‘one of them’. Little tweak at half time and that spell was exactly the sort of stuff we can produce if we are on it. 

 

I did think there were by far the most negative team we’ve played but somehow scored twice against us.
