What’s the point in playing Jack? It’s torturous

Keep him away from the cloggers or we are royally fooked.

Maybe the plan is to get him injured and prevent a sale....

Are we playing 3-5-2 with Hutton as a third CB?

Only watched last ten minutes but Taylor and De Laet are pretty advanced.

My PC is old and can't handle streams.
So then, are we simply copying the way the England set-up in the WC?
RDL breaking out of defence, Whelan holding like Henderson, Jack arsing about like Stirling?

I know we’re playing a new system and against inferior opposition but you’d never guess this is a Steve Bruce side.

Looking lively and slick.

Pretty similar to England

Hutton at CB but getting fwds

Whelan is Henderson

Jack is Sterling

Lansbury and hourihane the advanced midfielders

We look surprisingly good

But do think this team will lack penetration and pace - very reliant onon the front two

Should see a lot of the ball playing like this though

Interesting

Who are you and what’s more, what have you done with Steve Bruce?

He'll soon coach that out of them.

Still only one in the box when we break forward though, despite looking to move the ball quickly.  Taylor is gash and the centre of midfield are poor at defending.  Other than that, we have looked quite good.  Jack is waaaaaaay beyond this level.

Very cynical. But we all know Bruce doesnt do coaching.

Lansbury with the fourth no?
