Bilic admits “everything was poor” as watfordfc are mauled again by the Lions
Excellent training, good preparation and a full dress rehearsal at The Den only a couple of months ago and yet still Watford were unable to cope with the challenge posed by Millwall – leaving head coach Slaven Bilic disappointed, puzzled and struggling to contain his anger.
“Then we were poor from the start of the game. They were winning all the second balls and because of that we couldn’t get on the ball. When we did get the ball our passing was poor – everything was poor. Having been pummelled into footballing submission at The Den two months ago, it was galling for Watford fans to watch the players struggle once again to cope with a style which they had specifically prepared for.
“It’s not just that we talked about Millwall with good intent. We played a game against Millwall a couple of months ago as well which was very similar in terms of what they did, so we know about those things. And we practised for it as well, for a few days in the week. “You don’t have the ball all the time in any games, not just against Millwall. You have to be ready to be out of possession in every match,” said Bilic.
“I have said before, if you are playing a guy who is 6ft whatever, you don’t have to win the first ball. And usually that first challenge is around the edge of the box – so what you have to do is take care of the second ball.
