Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi made nine changes that is 22 in the last three games - and they played like strangers.
If he has learned anything from his first Thursday-Sunday cycle, it should be that rotation is for tumble dryers, not football managers.
As soon as De Zerbi's most destructive forward, Mitoma, entered the fray in the south-coast "derby" Bournemouth could not handle him.
