This is the problem when pre season games are televised nowadays.
I say it every season when post match the moans come in.
Pre season matches are essentially about fitness and bedding back in.
This was only the third match and most of the side did not play in it.
I am pretty sure that in a week or so we will start seeing something closer to how we will line up.
In the meantime it's just a run out to get fitness going.
It wasnt great to watch and I also feel a bit sorry for the american fans that would have been looking forward to it and paid good money.
However at this stage of pre season you wont see any other top side putting their first XI out.
I dont think it's fair to criticise the manager for it.
Having said that regarding Borini I agree totally with Red, he shouldnt have been near the team when we have a very good offer for him and he isnt in the plans for this season.
