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

[madloaf]

Only thing that was a worry was the players looked scared / nervous. Timid with how we played. They looked shit scared to make a mistake and few look like there’s doubt within the final third. Scared to play a ball through or take the risky pass.

Been that way since Madrid last season. It's weird. I wish we had a manager who could direct them how to play.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

I can't actually stand listening to, or watching him. Those WBAC adverts are just plain embarrassing.
As for co-commentators - it was an American thing to stick an ex-pro in with a commentator, so we sheep-like had to follow it.
Whenever I watch an old clip with just Barry Davies or just John Motson, I long to go back to just one trained voice on the mic

Plus no biased from either of them, just enjoyment when a great goal was scored.

We’ve fallen off a cliff quality wise. Team needs a serious rebuild in the summer.

It’s going to take a number of windows. Even then it’s unlikely we’ll ever see a team as good as 2017-2024 again.

Did they show it in the Priory?

Mother Prioress doesn’t allow TV in the Priory and she definitely doesn’t let us wear our football gear. So I take football days off to show my support for the lads. :-) ;-) A Nun’s Habit doesn’t go down well at the stadium.

Even winning the cup looks like ascending Everest at the moment but I have a gut feeling that we'll click in a couple of weeks.

There’s no way we’re going to be able to beat Arsenal in the cup.

Khusanov gave flashes of his pace which is going to be very useful once he integrates into the team. Marmoush showed some good play and was a real threat. I think he will do well for us.

O'Reilly and McAtee not so good. The former was not in his natural position but almost everything about his game was off. McAtee had a stage to play in a position he likes but did very little. I really want him to succeed but he was almost invisible for most of the match.

Wonder if the defender swap at half time was a pre-planned thing?

The result is the important thing but you just know their goal is going to be replayed constantly for years.

Might of been completing a 2nd damning article on Jack

It’s a pity we don’t have extremely bad people watching us anymore, he’d have been battered.

O’Reilly did ok. McAtee very poor. Khrusanov did well and in fairness even Rico had a solid second half.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Blatant red card that. KDB with a leg breaker on their keeper’s shin.

Lucky bastard :-)

 

[blueinsa]

We won and that was all that was required but Keown is a **** and that ref atrocious.

Sick to fucking death of witnessing and being on the end of “magic of the cup” officiating.

Barry Davies was one of the most politically biased commentators I’ve heard. I recall he commentated on an Iran v USA game

He could have been a war monger in the Republican’s right wing lobby group

 

[eyalluvitt]

Not pretty, but would have 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.

He was sat on the bench watching the game behind Pep so not hospitalized. Fiery Jack in his jockstrap and heel be reet

 

[TheBlueCat]

Great interview by Rico, all positive comments, well spoken.

Bright lad, always presents well

 

[ancoats]

So many changes to the side it was never going to be a smooth display

But Pep had a week of training with the players, Pep sometimes does the unthinkable and forgets the battle of a cup tie vs a lower league club at their ground, They can and will bite you on the bum if you let them, Haaland not even on the bench is crazy and sort of disrespecting them and the tie.

All I keep hearing was Madrid in midweek ? Bollocks, The Fa Cup is winnable this season unlike the Champions League
What you do is win the tie with the best options you have in the squad, Get game time playing as a group (best 11)

What I don't like is Asking players to cover somebody else roles, We don't have full-backs in the first-team squad But we have EDS and Youth players who play Full-backs not given a chance ?

 

[CheshireExpat]

Fuck martin keown and fuck red sports news. Whoever just paid for a commentary as biased as that I feel for you.

 

[Burtonblue]

Gonzalez looked pretty good until he got assaulted

 

[MCFC1993]

How many shit puns did they try? 20-30. They’re meant to be commentators not shit comedians.

I kept hoping the camera wouldn't pan to Noel for that reason.
