Quite a low key session today I thought. A large group today including Adebayor and Boateng but missing Micah , Bridge and Lesott although Joleon did come out a little later and worked fully 1 to 1 with a physio.Reserves included were Mee, Guidetti,Cunningham,Boyata,Vidal,Kay,Ibrahim,McDermott.
Plenty of warm up stuff going on which concluded with them all pairing off and just passing the ball to each other.Little and large were nearest to me with SWP saying to PV at one point " how many medals have you won and still you can't pass straight" SWP then missplaced a left footer and said" that's why I don't play on the left wing" and during all this PV was taking the mick and regularly chipping the ball just over SWP's head.All good fun.
They then broke into 2 groups and worked on pass and move stuff as I wandered across to watch the kepeers a bit closer. Massimo was working them hard as ever. ( just Shay,Joe and Stu today)An excellent session while I watched using the police cones across the 6 yard box and firing low shots in to get deflections and test their reactions and then have to get up to save a full blooded shot.
I was expecting them to finish with a game of sorts but they didn't. A large group wandered off to a pitch behind a fence leaving about 10 to do some pure fitness and running routines.Yaya,Barry,NDJ,Kolo,Carlos,Milner,Silva in this lot.Of the others some just went in but Mancini did get to work with an 11. Maybe the team for tomorrow but I doubt it as it only included 1 of what I would call an obvious first team choice , and he hasn't been playing from the start. After a few minutes he did change 3 or 4 players so it's hard to say who will start.
PS no MJ today
