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

Really think Gundo is done, can’t be relied on due to mobility, rather play O’Reilly in that position

Not gonna happen with pep so no point discussing it

 

[middle-englandblue]

Mcatee off for Phil please

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

That was abject.
Marmoush the goal machine in Germany can't hit a cows arse wirh a banjo in the PL.
Ortega, fucking awful but not as shit as the referee for the goal.

 

[.db.]

Richards to tow the BBC line now, and not acknowledge the foul.

If we’re relying on a foul being called against a League 1 side in the only goal in the game, we really are in trouble.

 

[paulchapo]

We’ve got this, Orient quickly emptying the tank

I'm not sure about that.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Oreilly must be pretty annoyed Pep is making him play LB because of his height but Mcatee who’s playing in that position is offering absolutely nothing.

 

[Legal Alien]

Rico lewis is not even championship level

He has

No strength
No size
No pace
Limited ability

I just don't really see what he's bringing to the team, he just moves the ball and seems to get in the way.

 

[chesterbells]

McAtee refusing to pass or get a shot early, a few times he had a better option to pass but either ran into a blind alley or shot got blocked.

Delaying our actions, hesitancy, whatever, is a common trait I see in decisions in our team. Be it Macca passing, Rico playing it in, Jack taking shots that get blocked.

In short, just release the fucker!

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Freak goal on a foul play.

Run of form has not been good to say the least.

You don't just buy a few new players and immediately start hammering opponents and find your form.

Find a spine some of you and grow up.

Chemical Ali ;)

 

[paulsimpson]

Should be level at least. Got through them a good few times. Pep will keep it like it is for the next 20 mins.

 

[Zenmanc]

My spine is fine, not sure about a lot of the players though

There's an off switch

 

[Lowtower]

Need to bring Scotty C on at half time

 

[homerdog]

Saying that shouldn't be an own goal shows how stupid these pundits are - it hit the bar, which is deemed to be off-target. Fucking morons, the lot of them!

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

See a lot of posters complaining about the ref when we are losing against League 1 opposition. The ref is the least of our problems, our major issue is how our players are performing.

They let a lot go now compared to four years ago. But it's the same for everyone and we look weak.

 

[Metal Biker]

If City didn't have bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

 

[deano ou812]

We need to stop wearing this kit we think we're back in this bloody league!

Hahahahaha we are playing like it,just waiting for their second goal then we score 2 in added time..

 

[mosssideblue]

I'm not sure about that.

I’m confident

 

[chaddblue]

Don’t know where to begin with that

Just when you think our season has hit rock bottom we manage to dig further

 

[Gabriel]

It's a Cup tie and lady luck is on their side, I said it before kick-off This is bigger than the Real Madrid game and we are leaving Haaland at home, If you don't respect the fa cup and Orient then you get what you deserve

It’s certainly the only trophy we can likely win this season, but we should have enough good players to win without him.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

That's probably the worst half of the season so far, considering the level of the opposition. Players that aren't being picked doing a good job of showing why they're not being picked. And then our most important new signing gets injured after 20 minutes. Absolutely fucking typical.
