Millwall (A) - Match Thread

[SafewayFox]

Our one decent chance was when KDH played in Stephy with a trampoline touch.

 

What was different between that and everything else in the first half?  KDH found himself on the left side of the pitch.

 

Even if no subs at HT, Enzo PLEASE swap Ndidi and KDH, I have no idea what makes any manager think inverted CM’s is a good thing? 🤯

[Groby_Blue]

Turgid. Don't know if they're knackered or trying not to lose more than win but Enzo needs to earn his corn at half time and get us coming out firing. 

 

Need more runs to the by-line and cut backs into the box. Playing through the middle isn't working at all.

I bet there are posters on here who would rather have Millwall's style of play than ours. Go on, be brave! You know you're out there. 

I doubt anyone would want to watch this fodder every week, most would rather we play the way we do but quicker and actually create some chances. From a footballing perspective, it was dreadful. From a Millwall perspective, they'll be delighted. From an LCFC perspective, it's extremely frustrating to watch.

Dull as -

[casablancas]

Can we please bring KDH and Wilf back to their natural roles. 

[BigWesMorgan]

Turgid stuff. 0-0 all over it 

[Twitcher]

Millwall making it difficult. They are pressing well and not allowing any room or time.

I think Yunus has done well.

As a team we're still poor at corners. When defending, we don't win as many as we should, and when attacking, we don't win any. Is that set piece guy still with us who was brought in last season?

Enzo ball is the worst football iv ever seen.

Admittedly, it is still better than Rodgerball. At least in fairness we can get out of our own half.

Ndidi, Winks and KDH not on it so far. Yunus showing decent control but he's rendered useless as he cannot bear a man and the two 8's have been muck.

 

Hopefully step it up 2nd half.

This game reminds me of our early season, and we typically came through in the second half so🤞

What I’d do, yeah. Agree won’t happen.

He would put a better ball into Vardy

[ozvaldo]

Get Wilf off.  Abdul on.  Move Yunus inside.

I don't understand why he sometimes inverts Ndidi and KDH. Has it ever worked well as a tactic?

It’s a proper ‘patience’ match this. They tired a fair bit so hopefully will tire even more in the second half and more gaps will open.

Fingers crossed

Terrible first half. Mav wasted our best chance. They should've scored at the end. 

 

Hopefully we wake up and start quick. Is Albrighton on the bench? If so I'd have him on .. switch wilf and kdh back over

It's certainly not working tonight, KDH has been a passenger and Ndidi anyhow.

[ARM1968]

Considering the importance of the game do people think it would be unfair of me to ask that we show a bit of DESIRE. Where’s the fuching Pashun?

Has Vardy touched the ball in that half ?

5 times

[teblin]

Poor, too slow. It is very like some early season games like people have said. So hopefully we get a couple in the 2nd

[FoxOnWheels]

I get there’s having a controlled tempo and pace to attacks when against a low block but surely you then have to speed it up around the final third can’t just slowly pass it around and think somehow space is going to open up for a chance

[blue blood]

2-0 win incomng

[Guest ChrisWalken456]

Wow. That was a dull half

Not really, people just saying it as it is. Crap and boring. I'm sure we'll be better 2nd half but that was utterly garbage and yes I'm aware that the poor quality is also because of how Millwall and most teams in this league approach games against us 

It’s like earlier in the season, you have to wait for teams that press a lot to tire themselves out to some degree, but will say we have not helped ourselves either.

Boring play. Scrappy and tired looking. Hope the second half is better. It’s 3.45 am out here and I’m in danger of falling asleep.

I live in Wigston pal.. I know its a bit different here.. but it's still only 845 🤣

[splinterdream]

There maybe some tired players out there, just need to be patient

[AjcW]

Blimey. That was horrific
