Absolutely shocking performance. There are no clear patterns of play throughout our tactics.

Walsall had the worst penalty takers I saw in my life no power on their shots at all.

That last penalty was pathetic. (some sort of dead gran joke could have saved it inserted here) 🙃🙃

Yet another clean sheet masterclass from Ward.

 

Gerrimin!

No one will remember the details of tonight when we go on to lift the trophy 

[Groby_Blue]

The saddest thing is we've just swerved a points deduction but we'll still probably go down with a squad good enough to stay up. 

 

The players don't look interested. I have absolutely no idea what the game plan is and Cooper looks like he's just sticking eleven players onto the pitch and hoping it works. 

 

I was all for giving him a chance and hoping he does well but I can't see how he stays now. He just can't cut it at this level and we're going to get hammered at the weekend.

Not sure I've ever been a bit disappointed we won a game. What a weird feeling.

 

Too many negatives to type out, and no energy after that to do so anyway.

 

Cooper has no idea what he's doing, and the players know it.

 

Onto the next round, anyway!

A league 2 side ending up with a better xG than us is hilarious

Yeah. I was there that night and I just knew what was coming. Same but diffs. 

[MGLCFC]

He's now been in charge 7 games and we seem to be regressing. Utter garbage - Top needs to grow a pair and get shut of this clown.

Alves learned that Cooper will not nurture him. 

It's so sad. Also - watching Ricardo tonight - you could often see him bombing forward and then slamming on the brakes and heading back(presumably following instructions - because he's a professional and wants to please the manager). Yet Thomas was allowed free reign up the left. Shocking. I really don't know what the plan is. Walsall deserved to win.

I've got one. At least he knows Fatawu plays on the right. I had my doubts after Saturday.

What even are we?

 

 

Uneccessary use of the word even.

Last season I remember watching the Preston home game thinking this is the most comfortable I've ever been watching a Leicester City game. I knew we were fantastic and I knew we would win. We were in complete control.

 

This, tonight, was a world away from that. We had a taste of what we could be under Maresca. We need another coach like that because games like that are just not good enough.

 

Absolutely no coherence to our play. We've gone from being able to pass Championship teams to death to not being able to string a move together against a League Two team.

 

Sure, we looked okay in moments tonight. But we never imposed ourselves on the game. We never took real control and forced the issue. If we can't do that with our senior players, why aren't we giving some of our fearless youngsters a go.

 

I'm willing to believe this was just a stodgy midweek game in a competition we're not focusing on, but performances need real improvement.

[Bourbon Fox]

Ayew is a ****ing donkey.

 

Fatawu has completely lost his mojo.

 

Choudhury was a decent squad option in the Championship but has no place in a PL outfit.

 

I am so angry at the performance. Loose, sloppy, slow. Didn't look like they were interested at all.

 

The cup games should have been the death knell for Rodgers - it was at that point 2 years ago that it became clear he was done, and the club stuck with him until it was too late.

 

We cannot make the same mistake with Cooper.

 

That was absolutely embarrassing. Dire football against a supposedly far inferior opposition. 

 

He has to go.

Strangely enough the pitch invader looks a bit like Cooper, maybe it’s his son trying to give him some words of encouragement
