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

[RayCTID]

Similar to the Cheltenham cup tie a few years ago we have to try and find that extra bit of mental strength

 

[WestGorton]

It was a foul leading up to the goal and the goal was a fluke albeit a good fluke. Arse got the deflection last week. Par for this season

 

[super_city_si]

Nunes for lewis too.

 

[Gobshiight]

Like your optimism. This isn’t a surprising performance. Just another poor one. Luck is with the opposition today.

Think they'll tire and we'll bring on the likes of Foden, de Bruyne

 

[dhruvblue]

You know you even with injuries and Rodri out We should be easily beating Leyton Orient

Fight is missing

 

[cookster]

At least O'Reilly and McAtee are playing though . That's all that matters

O'Reilly is a CM, not a LB.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

I get Orient being the lower league side and it being unbelievable for them but the BBC are just making up a narrative here, it's not even factual reporting. We've had the better chances, they had an early half chance and that's it.

‘it’s a shame it will go down as an own goal’

That’s because it WAS an own goal. It would have bounced away from goal otherwise

 

[cupsforcockups]

We need to press the quickly they a third tier side ffs

 

[Keeper!]

We've actually been decent. Less so with Gonzo out though :(

How our standards have dropped then!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Don’t know where to begin with that

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

Awful isn’t it.

Grealish his usual pile of nothingness. Lewis /McAtee both shite. Gundogan is finished.

Only Savinho and Bernado exempt from that shitshow.

We need Foden and De Bruyne on now.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

How we have become so shit is staggering, so sad to see

We haven't. It's just the contrast between this and staggeringly good when we were practically untouchable for almost 2 seasons.

 

[bluemoon32]

And this is why i fucking love the F.A Cup

 

[paulchapo]

I see they got our subs warming up in Zorb balls on the pitch maybe they shoukd play in the fuckers so we get no more injuries

Forget Madrid even their second string will toast us.

 

[borassic]

At least O'Reilly and McAtee are playing though . That's all that matters

This. I get wanting to start kids from the academy but talk about blind faith

 

[Double R]

I have no doubt we will win in the end, but bloody hell, we bring a new DM in and he goes off injured after 20 and they score from 30 yards. Every single game this season has been a question of what the fuck has this match in store for us today. Just a catalogue of weird shit, voodoo curse of a season.

 

[Legal Alien]

Our right side is wide open, get Lewis off and put Khusanov on.

 

[Millennium]

I am really worried about playing against Real Madrid at this stage. Honestly, this is not a team, only individuals who don't know what to do.

 

[BigJoe#1]

How has Ortega been awful?

I thought he made a great save towards the end of the half, Dived far to his right and held it.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Watching Gundogan pains me.

But if you put Kev on alongside him, he's a totally different player.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

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.

He is always in the way. I would love Pep to explain what having a 3’ 7” right back, who weighs 6 stone piss wet, who can’t defend and who can’t/wont pass forwards brings to this side.

Its like Pep watched Cancelo do this inverted job and decided any fucker can do it, even if they’re no fucking good.
