Match Thread | Leyton Orient vs. Man City (08/02/25)

[come-on-barney]

Can’t work out what on earth the tactics are.

 

[Gogootz]

Can’t believe how slow Grealish looks. Just doesn’t put fear into their full backs.

He should put some brylcream on his boots and slide past them

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Tactics still not working. McAtee anonymous next to Omar. We need numbers on flanks. Through the middle is now past.

Genuinely forgot he was playing

 

[bondsman]

We are a team of Fanny wipes. No fight or steel. That’s what our success was built on and it’s gone

 

[tackeds]

Forum slow as owt. Come on blues let’s get it together and come back.

Bernie is cursed to never have a rest isn’t he. Gutted for Nico, liked the look of him

 

[ninjamonkey]

Savinho the only player doing anything here. Grealish won't even try to take on a league 1 player ffs. His inclusion in the side makes us worse in that it means savinho isn't in his best position.

Mcatee touched it yet?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Chuckle brother FC, from me to you. FFS SHOOT !!!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

so our 200m transfer window amounts to

- a 19 years old not even added to the CL squad
- a 20 year old giving away a goal within 2 minutes of his debut
- defensive midfielder who gives away a goal on his debut and immediately gets injured
- a striker who can't control the ball

You seem desperate to write off new signings. Who have literally just joined.

Are you wanting them to fail just so you can come in here and brag about being right?

Very strange behavior for a ‘fan’ tbqh pal.

 

[Blue and true]

There's no fucking way you are blaming a goal on Nico when he gets fouled and the guy hits it from 40 fucking yards before it goes in off Ortega's arse. Christ man

That wasn't a foul. Get a grip. He dawdled and got punished.

 

[pudge]

How the fuck is it not fair, Keown? It wasn't going in

They’ve hardly played, judge them after this season

 

[paulchapo]

Zero threat upfront aside from Savinho.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

The lads a 10, that left side has O’Reilly and Grealish, none of them are left sided players

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Can't reverse

Hahaha ffs

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Close the bloody thread permanently.....its infested with hysterical morons !!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Martin Keown is a **** and an idiot.

"Not fair" for it to be given as an own goal. Thick as shit. He'd lose an argument in an isolation chamber.

 

[Zenmanc]

Those asking for the season to end now? What a bunch of weaklings. Get your fight together ffs. We can go on and win this competition.

This. I am so sick of the limpness that our fanbase seem to have for a spine.

 

[Ajm1985]

Genuinely forgot he was playing

Same.

 

[bluwes]

No surprise Ortega gets chipped .
He thinks he's a bloody midfielder half the time

Because Pep wants him to be

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

a lot of the players look rusty to me, but then when some of them aren’t playing for months at a time or there brand new, I guess that’s to be expected
