Millwall Ratings (19 Viewers)

[mmttww]

Should give some credit to Millwall and Leicester

I do. Leicester first half moved the ball and found space as well as Ipswich and Millwall looked a good side. I don't know the answer, just know there's an issue.

Its difficult to judge as Dasilva is hopeless when defending against wingers with pace but Azeez looked a pretty useful player all night

I can forgive a player deciding to try and show some guts and leadership and take a risk to help us win a game. I struggle to forgive ten yard passes under no pressure going to the wrong team. You've got your hill, I've got mine.

Kitching does that too!

One of the worst examples of defending i have ever seen last night was when Lati tried to play the offside trap when Ivanovic was sent clean through for the 1 v 1 Rushworth saved.

Amazing how varied football options are as i'm seeing some 7/10 ratings for him, i thought he was shocking!

I know the occasion you mean, and it did look shocking. But it seemed to me that he was limping, and decided he stood no chance of chasing back. He did go down for treatment immediately afterwards I think.

Mine's 83.

He just doesn't know it yet.

One of the best we have come up against.

I like DaSilva, but not convinced he is a top of the league fullback/wingback.

His touch is very, very good and he has skill and good passing ability. Defending however, he can easily get turned or beaten on the outside. He gets a little lost at times too and loses his marker.

He is so much improved this season, though, so hats off to him for that, but for a top of the league side, he still does worry me.

It's also difficult as EMC offers very little protection to Dasilva, when you compare that to the defensive workrate of Sakamoto or even Esse.

Both sides are exposed - the real difference in MVE has pace to cover back.

And Kitching offers no help either.

I'm a fan of Bassett but there's no comparison with Esse, he's head and shoulders above Norman.

Did you see that video of EMC asking Esse questions about the match, Esse looked older than Ephron lol

 

[stevefloyd]

Yes and then they developed a chant for him which rhymes with anchor.

Rushworth immense again. Lati got better but kept putting long balls early on which went in no mans land. Kitching and Grimes composed, JDS good with the ball and interplay but exposed defensively several times. Esse very lively but ran out of steam and starting to link up with MVE. He also actually takes players on and can cross. Eccles and Rudoni not standout but played an unsung part. Wright looking like a man possessed compared to recently. EMC my MOTM. Everything he did was good. When Tats came on we got a lift in pace to kill them off

Flanker?

Lati runs like Will McKenzie walks. If you know you know.

He runs with an open parachute attached.

Spot on. This season he is also working harder at getting back after a mistake. Last night v Millwall his perfect flick on header to their winger running in behind. But he did bust a gut to get back alongside, I think he did just enough for their player to snatch at the shot and drag it wide.

His first touch is normally very good and he is calm in possession and comfortable linking passes with players like Grimes, Torp, Rudoni and EMC.

He is like a lot of our players a mix of obvious strengths and weaknesses.
