It's not the result (don't care) and we probably end up nicking a draw without a catastrophic back pass from a kid who won't play a single minute of Premier League football this season.
It's how horribly disjointed and rickety we looked in a back four, which our new overlord wants to play (well, we assume so as that's all he ever played at Benfica and he's started all three friendlies so far with a back four. He doesn't speak so we'll have to guess). You would expect it to look like we'd worked on *something*. In the first half we were beyond atrocious, Mosquera aside. How you can marry absolutely no threat and looking like conceding every time they get in your half is impressive. There was zero pattern of play, Trincao may as well not have been on the pitch, the midfield offered the sum total of zero (shock horror, those two can't play in a 4-4-2) and we looked vulnerable to any kind of ball over the top.
I expect it will improve, I expect we will sign players (at what cost to what we already have, I don't know). It doesn't look very good at the moment, even allowing for some improvement after half time there were scant positives to take from that. It's too easy to say "meh, it's only a friendly", we were shit for loads of that game and loads of the Crewe game. We were ok for a fair bit of the Betis game. I think revolutions tend to be a bit less tepid than this.
He has a lot of work to do, which is not breaking news.
