Match Thread Millwall v Everton, FA Cup 4th round, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Steve Wigan]

How long has Kevin Kilbane been a Millwall supporter?

 

[KaiserEFC]

I’ve enjoyed these Shrewsbury highlights more than Everton here.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

The most predictable thing in the world. Our players are trash, the manager is league one standard and nobody at the top cares. I'd be rooting for Millwall if they were playing anyone else in this position, we deserve to lose based on that half. If we go out we deserve it, I actually don't know what would be worse. A loss or a replay that we'll no doubt lose. Sweet Jesus Everton have some professional pride for God's sake!

 

[Azza]

Sweepstake on when Silva just throws on Attacker 1, 2 and then 3 from teh bench without changing a thing?

~65 minutes Bernard will come on for Lookman. Maybe a little earlier, depends what Silva had for lunch today.

70 minutes Tosun will come on for Gomes.

 

[D410]

Whatever the final result today this is so poor from a club that has spent so much.

Marco looks absolutely clueless on the sideline.

 

[AndyC]

Gomes doesn't want the ball, Gylfi n Lookman poor, DCL non existent

To be fair to DCL, he's got two centre backs to contend with and nobody to play off him. One of their guys can commit knowing the other can mop up.

 

[Tel001]

Maybe bolasie isn’t as stupid as we think and will actually get into this team

 

[Eggs]

Well Eggs, you are obviously not wrong. You know your footie mate: tell me, why are we so crap?

...lack of organisation, lack of balance, lack of tempo, lack of intensity, lack of lots.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The halftime graphic says we only have attacked down the middle 16% of the time. Says a lot really. And I'd imagine it isn't far away from that most games.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

its marcos for the full year mate.

Doubt he'll see the week out if we lose today and again on Tue mate.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Siggurdson has been awful. He just doesn't fancy it, needs hooking for someone who is more motivated.

Barely been involved. We need someone who will link play and want the ball in the final 3rd. Sadly Sigurdsson is offering nothing here.

 

[Saint Domingo]

You couldn’t tell that Kilbane or Lineker played for us.

 

[PhilM]

How he’s been this season and what he did for this goal are two completely different things.

He’s never saving that and is about 20th in the blame queue for it behind the other players, Silva and the coaches for not picking up their biggest danger man.

We're pretty darn woeful at set-pieces and every team knows it, hence why they punt the ball into the box at any and every opportunity.

 

[COYBL25]

Digne is good in the air, but he's in a tough spot and the conditions are awful. Stop fouling.

I’m not blaming him in anyway.

He quite simply should not be marking or expected to mark a centre forward.

They’re gonna lob the ball into the box at every opportunity in the second half in the knowledge that this is how our defence is
set up.

 

[carolinablue232]

We play 4-2-3-1 with the same mindless plan every week now. Get it wide, swing a cross in if you can, concede on a set piece, start over.

This was never going to be easy, especially with the conditions but we have no idea what to do out there.
