Better second half, much more even.
Slaven will have learned a lot today. It's all very well watching players in training but you can only really judge from match situations.
First lesson bin 4-4-2. No, nay, never, it's awful in the modern game.
Second lesson sort out the midfield. I would like someone, anyone anywhere in the world to tell me what Jake Livermore does to warrant his constant inclusion. PLEASE someone tell me. Harper isn't much better, Leko is pooh.
Field, Brunt, Krovinovic that's our best three.
Defence - We have Hegazi to come back thankfully. Nyom not good enough, Bartley neither. O'Shea looked better second half when he had an option on the ball. First half just hoof up to Burke to flick on to nobody.
Upfront. It not easy to judge forwards when you they have nothing to work with like Burke and Phillips first half. Robson Kanu isn't the answer.
We need new signings but we all know that. Interesting, there was no sign of 4-3-3.
