    Not sure this non-defending system will be a success

    Awful so far. Let’s hope they’ve learned not to let their heads drop.

    I mean, we have been pretty **** <laugh>

    Struggling to advance the ball forwards and losing possession very easily.

    Thankfully this will be nothing like our team for the majority of the season. Although I do worry about how we will start if we leave our transfer business much later.

    Not a great start. Things can only get better, as someone said on wet night against Leicester.

    Possession is great, but when it’s always around your own box it gets a bit worrying.

    Lavia appears not arsed and you have 2 CBs that aren't CBs.
    So it's obvious we'd be poor defensively.

    Plus McCarthy in goal. Recipe for disaster.

    The only thing I will say is that Bournemouth would have 2 yellows in a real game. As it is a friendly they can foul us every time we change the pace of the game and it consequently looks like we never get anywhere.

    He was caught out for the first goal, started to come, went back and not really doing much,

    Good header, but had he not come his position would have been better.

    Glad he’s playing this team as it shows we really don’t have a lot of 1st team starting depth and not only sell the likes of Lavia and JWP etc but need to shift the deadwood the likes of McCarthy, Lyanco, Djenopo etc.
    And Lavia May as well **** of to Liverpool at half time.
