Why are we so flimsy, score a goal n a free kick causes mayhem! Not one of them steps up and takes control, Sigurdsson will get most of the hate because he cost 45m but all of them were shocking!

Also looks like there was trouble before the game and fan being slashed apparently. Glad i have work soon and couldn't go, hope everyone is safe and gets home safely
 


I mean, we were always going to exit the competition against the first decent team we came up against, but I didn't expect us to meekly down tools and allow FC Millwall to do us over and knock us out. Utterly shambolic.
The worst part is when Pearce was saying the players were angry at their current league position and desperate to put in a performance. That was it!
 
he did more than most of our attackers today tbh, not that it was much.. when none of our attackers perform, then you cant single out one player among them, you have to look to the manager and what he practices in training.
Well out main striker seems to be DCL (who's tbh hasn't ever been very good) championship level at best, he's our main striker, you have to ask questions don't you. We need a 50 million striker from a top 5 team in a top league in Europe.
 
the state of our midfield.

no defensive midfielder.

none of the midfield can help defend placed balls.

Gomes is a smoke seller. As is Sigurdsson.

4,2,3,1 is killing us as is our defensive organisation. That rests on Silva.

Give away 3 brainless, needless free kicks and conceed 3 goals.

Digne and Gomes were a disgrace.

We lose against Huddersfield and you tell me where will we pick up 10 points between then and the rest of the season.
 

It's the manner of the defeat that makes me both angry and sad.

Early on they had a free header from a set piece - it went well wide but it should have been a warning to us.

We regularly make the same errors and we do nothing about them. Silva should be made to explain to the fans why we're so weak defensively. Either he's not coaching them properly or they're not listening to him. Both would be worrying.
 
If we had any other healthy central defenders i sure as heck wouldn't play keane and zouma on tuesday. I'd rather run out Morgan Feeney and Tyias Browning for christ sake. What a major let down today was.
