Bernardo is a good finisher ain’t he?

 

[come-on-barney]

Seem to be really struggling with the pitch

It’s shocking the ball bounces like a plastic pitch

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Marmoush has Alvarez's first touch that's for sure

 

[sir baconface]

Sorry mate, gotta ration them to 2 each today. They are XL size though ; )

I’ll make do then, as long as they are industrial strength and washable.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Marmoush looks rusty/ hes not offering much

 

[wolviedinho]

We are going through a rough patch.

Another player injured, come on let’s be realistic here.

It’s a shitshow, we all know the season is done. We will be back.

 

[Gumzy97]

Genuinely quite pathetic performance from Grealish and Gundogan so far.

They look ordinary to rubbish against Leyton Orient.

I think Grealish heads gone. I’m going to take a guess a few of the heads have gone in that team , either a lack of confidence or a lack of belief in that tactics after the run we have had.

 

[argyle]

Doubt if Lewis O’Reilly and Gundo would get in the Orient team. Sad.

Add Grealish to that too.

Genuinely poor performances from them so far.

 

[Brewster's millions]

I’d love to be our set piece coach.

Roll up about half eleven slightly worse for wear, copy of the Racing Post under my arm, have a brew, search around for a bit of breakfast and then think about maybe doing something in the afternoon.

 

[paulchapo]

Shoooot!!!

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

You have to give LO a lot of credit here for their set up and application. I think they’ll tire in the second half though.

 

[sh249]

Savinho looks the most likely to do something. The rest, not so much

 

[Eaststander1]

How poor have we been here in this opening half hour ?

...... and how Gundogan missed that early chance is anyones guess.

 

[kunaguer09320]

This keeper has been watching too much Arsenal hasn’t he?

 

[01cravend]

Remember when these fixtures were more or less automatic 5+ goal wins.. what's happened

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Can't tell if they are defending really well or we just make teams look good at the back with our slow shite

 

[vicblueman]

Was listening to a podcast couple of hrs back talking about FA Cup and one of the podcaster jockingly said - You know what would be stupidly fun - if somehow Pep decides to play Nico ( the DM that they bought on the last day of transfer - they were also intrigued why he came last) and he somehow gets injured and misses the Real Madrid match.
Now I feel like shit!

He shouldnt of been played in this game
A weeks training & getting youst to his new surroundings

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Half and half

Keown's Idea apparently... Boring ****.

 

[Streetsweeper]

He advised Orient in the pitch though tbf…
“Make it green”

‘Pitch need grass. Me grass pitch!’

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

This has got to stop
