Walker's an awful defender. Always has been. He's not too bad in straight 1on1 situations, but in terms of being part of a defensive unit he's really very bad indeed.
Yes I hope Trippier plays rather than wait until we're fed up with Walker and have dropped points because of him.

No pressure on the crosser and far too much space for James in the area to be able to make a trouble free header for the goal

The concerning thing is it's the same old errors we saw all last year and even in though its just preseason its far from encouraging to see the same basic mistakes being made

Nooo, don't want to see the defenders immediately looking at each other as if they were to blame - you work as a bloody unit or you fail as a unit. Far too much room.

Ali is looking pretty sharp on the ball though, and Dembles is getting stuck in.

Defence not set up right there at all. Centre backs out of position, and Rose (who I think looks very rusty so far) sleeping at the back post. Shame as we have hardly been under the cosh so far.

Where the fuck were our CBs when that cross went in? I seriously couldn't find them in the 4/5 replays.

I know its still preseason, but I am already tired of the back/sideways passes, and players not having a sense of urgency when attacking - it seems we collectively hold onto the ball too long.

jesus i know its only pre season but what the actually fuck, sideways pass after sideways pass, if you aint got the balls to attempt to be creative in a preseason friendly what chance when the season actually start, we really are lacking in midfield to the point its embarassing.
