Anyone concerned about playing a high defensive line under AVB? I couldn't watch the game last night so only saw the highlights, but apparently we looked shaky at the back. Anyone confident it will work???

Keep forgetting it just preseason. Shouldn't be worried yet

I think the high line is an investment and it is going to cost us in the long run. But if we persevere then it could be amazing.
I think it will be hard because the pundits and a lot of fans will have knee jerk reactions to any goal that we concede because of it.

Watched the game. We got caught out alot in the first half pushing up and trying to play offside. The goal was a pretty good example of what we were doing wrong. Second half was far better but Kaboul and Vert were playing abit too far apart and we looked a bit open. Probably teething problems of a new CB partnership but it didn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Should say cost us in the short term* not long run.

Yes. Need a lot of time in training to iron this out.
If I was AVB I'd target the new year to start playing it in anger in the PL.

Guys.............................Its a bit early to start talking like this. Pre Season is about getting match fitness & working out strategy, there is plenty of time before the season starts................................
