Scott O'Donell was less than pleased with his side after their display against Island FC of Maldives.

He slammed it as a very disappointing performance & his side was complacent about playing them again.

He had already warned his side not to take them lightly as they have done well in their last few games against Negri Sembilan & East Bengal but clearly it was falling on deaf ears.

Still putting the performance against Island FC aside, O'Donell is looking forward to taking on the competition bigger guns in the quarter-finals.

He feels the players are enjoying the experience of playing abroad & it can only help in their development as football players.

Also he wanted everybody to know the Eagles are serious in wanting to win the AFC Cup & are not in it merely to make up the numbers or that is no point playing in the competition.
