I doff my cap to you.
Wrongagain Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 90 minutes we won't get back - Millwall enjoyed an ineffective referee who thought WWE is a way of life, city managed to soak up a physical onslaught with very few effective replies, pity our manager was clueless in response - don't know what happened to our fight, high pressing and enthusiastic team effort that we saw at the start of the season - fear for our survival!

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 True, it was dire and lower league 1 standard at best. The thing is with games like that is that you get a few every season where it just turns into a war of attrition. If anyone asks you in two months `What happened against Millwall?` you`ll struggle to remember anything about the game. Just forget about it IMO and move on to the next one.
Rob k Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 That's how Milwall will play all season, so sometimes you just have to grind it out. At least we know we got it in us to play some decent stuff. Milwall will go down this year, of that I've no doubts whatsoever.

1960maaan Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 As I said before, the Ref ruined a bad game. 2 poor teams , Millwall tried to spoil the game and stop our flow and the ref played into their hands. Far too picky and fussy, that said he gave us everything for 30 mins and then it changed and every time they fell over the game stopped. They stopped each free kick from being taken and he allowed them to get away with it. That said they had the best chances, very good save by FF , and we couldn't hold or pass the ball well enough to get any control in the game. It was like the perfect storm to create a very poor game.

No need to panic just yet!! When someone says "we couldn't break them down" I like to think that means we created chances and opportunities but were unlucky as they defended well and had the rub of the green. That isn't how it happened yesterday. We created nothing.

havanatopia Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 So in summary then.. Millwall are the Championship equivalent to Stoke and very hard to play against. Wenger knows only too well. We have had a fixture pile up in August. The Ref was utterly hopeless. Therefore a 0-0 draw and a dire performance is a credible outcome. I am actually starting to talk myself into this now.

I have my thoughts but said a short while ago I would keep quiet until 10 games in.

It was the same last year and nothing has changed. But 5 points is an OK start so lets see where are at XMAS. If we are in trouble at XMAS then LJ has to go for me.

I think not. If we are happy to see our future as long term championship then we might already have the tools in the box if we can get a bit more consistency.
