Leyton Orient (A) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[dublin-blue]

Let's be real this was a complete setup for us to fail. The ref the pitch everything. Yeah they're a league 1 side but they're still professional players. The scoreline flatters them

 

[malg]

Proper cup tie that.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Pep rolling his best ever perfectly round gozz ball live on the box is a sight to behold.

We battled well, and thats a good win for us, the boys will be pleased they battled it out and won. The youngsters.... hmmm they seem shallow or not ready for the fight, a bit flakey compared with the previous generation of footballers, a bit too humble or whatever. MCatee really has had enough chances to kick on. O'Rielly needs more games I suppose. But against Orient they should be playing more comfortably. Marmoush is still getting used to the PL and they way City players are expected to take the kicks no other team has to,,, he will get their and based on what I have seen he is going to be quite a good player.

Keown was atrocious, I understand the underdog story and even ignoring City but he showed real true colours when it came to wanting our players to be injured, wanting us (And seemingly happy) to now struggle against RM in midweek. He used to be harmless with a near total lack of football knowledge but he is actually dangerous spreading his bullshit for everyone to consume.

 

[burning blue soul]

Mcatee didn't take his chance, although with lots of new players coming in there nay be a,settling in period for everyone.
Wtf are we going to do when KdB leaves? We desperately need to get his replacement right.

What because they’re about the same height?

No, because both of their first names end with an ‘o’.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Marmoush getting flattened before McAtee poked one over was strange, penalty all day long and twice on a Sunday

Honestly, they weren't even particularly hard decisions. The refereeing all game was very strange.

Their right back flattens Grealish when he's beaten him and is through on goal and he gets a talking to. McAtee taps somebody's heels 2 minutes later when we have about 7 men behind the ball, instant booking.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Ritchie Wellens is a prick

 

[noseve]

What because they’re about the same height?

Obviously not - that would be stupid. It's because their names both end in 'o'...

 

[chaddblue]

It’s really hard work watching this team at the moment

I can’t quite believe the drop off in standards in less than a year

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

How did he look before the injury?

Was moving a bit gingerly it looked to me. Think it may have been in the lead up to the goal, where he was (I think, fouled) and the guy fell on top of him.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Is Richie Rag Wellens wearing a syrup?

Not sure but plenty of botox on show.

 

[Blue Calx]

Richards you really are a tool.

 

[cookster]

Looks like he’s got a three piece suite on his napper…

Must go to the same tailor as Glenn Murray.

 

[argyle]

Trash again.

Same players putting in the same shite, week after week.

Savinho was excellent in the 1st half. Not so much 2nd.

Khusanov did ok when he came on.

Other than stumbling through the tie, there’s not much in the way of positives to take from that dire effort.

The fall off in quality is so disappointing and worrying.

It is of no surprise that you're unhappy that City won.

 

[East Level 2]

Macatee also, genuinely didnt realise he was playing until he kicked off the 2nd half.

You missed his booking?

 

[cityontheup]

Once again the commentators were an absolute disgrace, why do we always end up with the Neanderthal on co- comms ? Is there no ex city player they can use for our games?

 

[Blue tiger]

Not pretty, but would of been more comfortable if Gundo and Marmoush do better from 8 yards in the first half. Not how you win, it's just about getting the win in knock out cup competitions. Some Minds clearly on Madrid. Hopefully Nicos injury is just an impact one.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Rico was immense today and Keown is a ****

He was very good after being in a freezer for the last month

 

[paulsimpson]

On the basis of that, I'd play Khusanov v Madrid. Strong defensive performance today.

On the basis of his speed would Pep have him on the right of defence to keep Vini Junior in a bit of doubt?
I think he will play Akanji there but it's going to be interesting over 2 legs.
