Look on the bright side. We didn’t concede with their first shot on target as has become the norm! They will get tired, we get one early second half and we will coast it

I feel like Haaland has lost a bit of confidence since his injury.

He has mate but he has to do better than. He has been .

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Just some urgency would be nice. Walking football this

Looks chaotic and messy up top.
More composure lads and the goals will come.
Please bring Kev on for Alvares and lets do these

Since haaland came back we look a less attacking team. How is this possible

Pace.

 

[deano ou812]

We have went from scintillating swashbuckling high pressing football to posession and pass pass pass at all costs football now,were is the directness we used to see from city and the fear teams had of us ..

 

[Phoenix900000]

Stay calm and keep going we will win this

Creating a good amount of chances

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Yes and thats because were not a pace and power team..sadly.. also i just can't enjoy watching Alvarez. Great attitude but his finesse well...seems strange to keep playing a lad whose touch to me is a bit brick wall 'ish

Just gets in the way. He needs to come off.

Doesn't help when these teams sit back, 11 men behind the ball, looking for a counter. Anti-football. Suppose that's the price of being good but they don't do it just through fear, they get a buzz from not being beaten by us so they give a lot of effort - effort they wouldn't give even if it meant taking points in a part of the table where it actually mattered to them.

How do you combat that?

Its not anti football its playing the game on its merits. Brilliant from Frank. They could be 2 up away v 3rd place by now. They are doing their job
