Don't they realise that such actions will be enough to keep them out of Irvine's plans for weeks? They should keep working on passing the ball sideways or backwards, tracking back (slowly) and keeping a good defensive shape.
Not sure whether this will alter AI's thinking.....but it bloody well should!!
Surely that is the very reason for these matches - to have a look at fringe players? I know that it won't equate to a PL game but if this DOESN'T count at all then it's not worth staging; also I'd be very disappointed as a player if I shone in a game like this then was told (or got the impression) that it didn't really count!!
Actually, I'd be pissed off
