[Groucho]

And conceded 3.


Football is a game with some simple rules on how the result is determined. You can read them here - http://www.thefa.com/football-rules...1/law-10---determining-the-outcome-of-a-match

Oh don’t be so patronising

 

[tsubaki]

Can we just play 2 strikers every week now?

I'm not arsed what fancy variation of midfield goes behind it - Just get 2 up front

Harris did that and they won

We didn't, and we didn't.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I'm not joking.

They are overpaid, none caring bells.

The game has morphed beyond recognition of a local sporting institution.

Don't let it ruin your life.

 

[Jreverton1]

TV game without VAR as well, disgraceful.

What? They're only using in the League Cup aren't they?

Not having a pop but i’m not sure what this has to do with our ability (or inability) to defend, pass and shoot.

No VAR is ridiculous. But even with VAR we would’ve still been fortunate, based on our performance.

Well it shows that everyone thinks that Millwall had a good chance to beat us and were proved correct.

 

[windymiller]

Everyone banging on about VAR are off their heads. Until we can defend a set piece, any set piece, we can't feel secure against any side. Everyone knows how to beat us.

 

[navidson]

I expected that, it seemed tragically inevitable. You know what we didn't desire anything big bag of utter cowards swanning around like they are Real Madrid when they play more like Wigan circa 2013. And we capitulated at free kicks exactly as I expected. Get in the sea this club is a farce.

Bad example that - They won the FA Cup that year!

 

[Tipp blue]

That my friends is a performance of a team that completely lack confidence, and by the looks of things a Manager who has lost the dressing room. The really sad thing is it happened to Martenez and Koeman too, there is something rotten somewhere inside the club and in need of rooting out.

 

[Jonte]

Mickey Mouse cup anyway.

 

[Meh]

Bloody hell; 2nd goal shouldn't have stood.....

But our most expensive player in our starting 11 today cost around £200,000....................

You only had 3 shots on target the whole game.

We had 5 players out, I think your transfer policy more than anything is the problem.

Anyone on hear listen to statsbomb podcast? They have been slaughtering Everton for the last 2 years on their horrendous transfers and say that you are set to continue it by buying Andre Gomes for £20million +.....

 

[seer]

I'm serious...

That's a resigning game.

It never happens, but the amount of money that fraud takes off us every week, I couldn't honestly look at myself in the mirror after that never mind doing it again next week

 

[jaycee]

Pathetic display,at this minute I would go to the dressing room and sack every single person there

 

[Bob Latchford]

Handball or not mate, 3 set - pieces, 3 goals, atrocious defending, even when the lad handled it in he was unmarked in the middle of the goal.

Atrocious all round. There was barely a spell in the game I enjoyed. That’s our season cooked.

£750k a week on players we don’t use or are on loan, can’t defend, can’t score (attack stunted at least), no front man, out of both cups, plummeting in the league, can’t win away.

What do we do now and where do we go from here? I haven’t got a clue.

 

[COYBL25]

I think we might need to work on our set pieces....

I think we need a bigger boat

 

[Fansince1988]

Digne was absolutely brain dead

We had 5 international defenders playing today and an England goalkeeper and can't defend against millwall? Serious questions must be answered by Silva, or save us all that rubbish he talks and just quit and go manage in the Portugal or Greek leagues that his level.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Played a set piece team. Their second highest goalscorer is a centre half with 5 goals (6 now) and 6 assists (7now) and we do absolutely nothing to counter that. We totally got what we deserved as we always do.

Let a non footballing man make footballing decisions, appoint small time managers, buy utter tosh players, it’s a wonder we’re not doing worse tbh.

Oh and I literally won £55 on that bloke I mentioned up there scoring because I just knew he would. That’s how predictable we are.
