Reminds me of that Blackadder scene. "our battles are directed sir?"
"we have a game plan sir?"
"of course we have, what do you think the coaching staff are for?"
"oh so the plan is to just continue with a back 8 in the hopes of eeking out 28 0-0 draws?"
"OMG even you know it! Batten down the doors with pieces of wood!"
It's like when your dog has been ****ting all over our furniture, you tell him off hoping to help him learn and then he ****s all over the carpet and looks at you as if to say "did I do good?".
It's basically a forwards vs defense training exercise. Clear to half way line, rinse and repeat.
If they come out with a "5-0 was an improvement, we showed a reaction...blah blah" then they can **** off!
