Hopefully Dias can get around 60 minutes in preparation for Madrid. Looking forward to seeing Nico and Reis make their debuts and hopefully seeing Marmoush bag his first goal for us.
 
Good team, nice blend.
Will be great for Reis and O’Reilly to get minutes with Dias
 
Happy enough with that. Real shame there's no Bobb yet but no point rushing it if he's not quite ready. Not a fan of O'Reilly at full back, this is the kind of game he should be playing in his actual position but at least he's in the team. Not overly surprised there's no khusanov, without akanji there's nobody to communicate with him so he can't really play, Dias I presume to get rid of the rust, 45 minutes, build up a comfortable lead then bring him off at halftime or 60 minutes tops.
 
I get that he wants Reis with Dias because they both speak Portuguese. But at the same time, I thought the whole point of spending £60m on two new defenders was so that we can finally stop playing unfit players or risking players that are back from injury too soon etc. Yet here we are risking Dias against Leyton Orient, just days before Real Madrid. Khusanov should be playing tbh. If we can only play Reis with a Portuguese-speaker and Khusanov with absolutely nobody, then maybe there were better options on the market.
