We do look a bit clueless in the final third. Quite concerning as that is a real theme and has been for a little while. Look decent up until then - and the long balls from White and others definitely cause problems.

My main concern, and it's been a long standing one, is would a new striker (a different style of striker) actually help? Or is it more about the midfield etc?

Alzate moved from his best position out to right back - so maybe Potter still isn't convinced that he is the central midfield player we've been crying out for.

Alzate playing Right Wing Back, not Right Back, with a back three of Webster - Dunk - White.

Think he's far more comfortable there as he likes to get forward.

WBA seem to have come to practice their defensive strategy.

Wouldn’t have thought the EPL have any control over a pre season friendly

No real cutting edge.

It’s that moment of brilliance using brains, skill, pace, height or strength that we’re missing.

West Brom look comfortable holding the door shut.

No but when it comes to Saturday afternoon during a football season I always have probs with streams (any). And I always have to use a VPN to watch stuff. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

It may do - we get wide quite well and have the ability to put a lot of crosses in the box. Bit pointless with Maupay on his own but could be a more fruitful option with a different type of striker up with him. Will also allow a bit more space for others outside the box.

How good was White’s ball to Maupay after about 20 mins? I was hopeful Maupay would not have a crack in situations like that.

Lallana fits in brilliantly, has the potential to unlock defences. There's just not enough movement up top, it's far too predictable. There's a gulf in class between these two teams today

Bis looks better every time you see him.

I firmly believe that Bissouma will be player of the season for us this year. He is going to be unreal.
