Are they not looking into Leicester and Man City?

Eckert told the Echo, “I am very happy with Joe. He has been excellent every time he has come on, and he is in very good shape. "

No, we were not matching them, pretty much for the entire match We were passing it around at the back because, unlike the last couple of game, Millwall actually pressed our midfield players (and the space around them). Tonda and the team showed they had only 1 way of playing, which was extremely tinpot and shows why we need something else.

New broom and all that

He was one of those who wanted Russell to stay last season, no matter what... weirdo

What premier league/elite level experience did he have?

May as well make Lallana the manager, you know, experience means little.

It helps

Really?

Birmingham are a team who will press us pretty hard, and not allow the space/time on the ball for us to do what we want.

Exactly that. Pack midfield and that is that (largely). THB, or any o the 3 CBs, are not fucking prime Koeman who are silky on the. ball ffs

When it is that obvious from so early in the game, to do nothing remotely different is just weird. I mean, passing it around at the back and giving to (mostly) to THB where the attacks start, and expecting him to pick passes into a packed midfield, is silly. Will Still/Russell Martin kind of shit. I get we can't just lump to Arma, but Millwall (and I suspect other sides we face with limited resources) will simply dig into midfield and wait for us to expect our CBs to pick Pirlo-esque passes into marked players...

Alex Neil is no fool, and he schooled Tonda today.

I hope we allow him to learn his game back in the U21s. Today, he was clueless on how to manage a game that, from about 10 mins in, was not going for us.....nothing changed WRT approach/shape and style. We were very much 'more of the same'. Insanity and all that
