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

[Steve Wigan]

That was always going to be a difficult game. No one likes to play at Millwall,particularly in conditions like today. Given the form we are in,and the fact that some players are jaded,the result was always going to be a lottery. Millwall are not very good, but they were bound to be right up for it today because of all the games in the round, this always looked like it could be an 'upset'. Silva has a lot to learn about the Premiership, and in my opinion he has to have a good run in the league for the rest of the season to save his job. I think Mosh is desperate for success,but doesn't have unlimited finance. If we can get to seventh, or even 8th, Silva may survive,because the question whether Mosh will release transfer funds to him and Brands in the summer. If the answer to that is no,Silva is gone. Posters may disagree, but I thought we put a lot of effort in to todays game,which was never going to be won by superior skills, which we had in abundance. We can all have ideas as to what we would have done differenty...personally I thought Bernard should have been first on the team sheet but no matter, in those conditions it was always going to be a lottery,and as well as playing poorly at present, we are not having much luck. Get all the knee jerking out of the way over the weekend and then we move on...we are Everton and there are football matches to play and win.COYB.

Safe journey home to all our fans,who have been short changed once again

Some teams do zonally mark and it works. We just can’t, and that’s down to management.

Definately.....if it doesnt work it get binned.
Play a system that suits your players...this does not.

 

[Ring master]

Lose the next few then revisit that thought.

11 points ahead with 15 games to go,surely even us would not do that lol,but with the teams for us left to play and with the bottom few fighting for there lives and showing way more fight than us you just never know lol

The only thing that will make me feel better is if Millwall draw City away.

 

[tsubaki]

It'll take years yet to sort out this squad. I think we need another 5/6 transfer windows before we can think about challenging for top six or seven.

99% of our problems could be fixed in a month. All he has to do is come up with something that the squad believes in, get a bit of luck and then we will be alright.

If he does this again vs Huddersfield he should be fired, because there is no way he would ever change it.

 

[Evri]

Totally agree , I was afraid of this , Silvia has to go YESTERDAY , I wish that someone tells me just one good thing that he brought into our club , just one please so I can except to see his miserable face ones again next week

We have the worst manager I'm the PL and a massively disjointed team, get Sigs gone asap he's taking up a very important team position and is useless there, also send out DCL on loan to a championship team that's his level, that would be a good start. Please Silva do us a favour and resign

 

[Bigjoe]

That gormless ref and linesman should be the ones interviewed on primetime tv not those two grocks at the end

Yes the ref had a bad game but we didn’t deserve to go through as the performance was dire.

 

[blulouie]

No hunger, no passion, no fight, no creativity.... Another season over in January, simply not acceptable for the money that has been spent...

Was all for waiting till next season to judge Silva, but jeez tonight (and the past 2 months) have been God awful...

Embarrassingly bad..

Season aint over mate (sadly)
Keep this form up and its a relegation battle.

11 points ahead with 15 games to go,surely even us would not do that lol,but with the teams for us left to play and with the bottom few fighting for there lives and showing way more fight than us you just never know lol

We are at the point where it's difficult to think of who we could beat.

 

[Greengrass]

Instead of going to Huddersfield am going to give the ticket away AND stick the money on a Huddersfield win. Surely win me over £100.

 

[TmoMoney0721]

I've seen enough of the midfield of gana and gomes. On Tuesday if those two start again i have no faith in this manager. Phil Jagielka has played in two games all season and he's still the best central defender we have at the club and he's almost 40. It's time for Coleman to take a seat on the bench as well. Watching him try to run up and down the right wing is painful. Give Kenny a run of games an see if he can do the job.

 

[Toast]

Needed this, haven’t enjoyed supporting this club since Martinez first season - really hoping I can find other things to follow. Nobody should be subject to this

Just saying the same here.
"When did I last really actually enjoy a game ?"

It's a tough one.

 

[tommytowne]

You had a systolic reading of 210? That is very high. Your vascular system is close to exploding. If I were you, I would stop watching Everton...lol

Seriously I was shocked. I'm in the normal high range 124/70 not bad for 67. I act like a complete knob when we play but seeing what effect watching this cack has me seriously looking ato what to do next. Thing is that it's ingrained into me now.
Everton you b******s.

 

[riddick]

Wing back formation, we looked more of an attacking threat, this 4231 formation has been the death of us for 5 god damn years and yet somehow it's an edict for managers to have to play despite the man who introduced it being long gone from the club

Uh, that was Moyes like 8 years ago.
