While this match was going on Mancini was working with another 10 on tactical but mostly attacking stuff.They did do some of the team shape movements as usual but largely it was on attacking and finishing which was good to see.

WoooHooo!

If he's working on it then it surely means we're going to do it? The dark days could be over if we get a win doing it.

Well it may not work immediately, but at least he realizes it's time to start focusing on it in training, so eventually it will work.

If we're trying to do it then it's a big step forward. I don't think Liverpool can stop us if we attack. Stoke away on a shit pitch is a different matter but if we attack Liverpool at home I make us big favourites. I was worried in case we went negative again as then I make them big favourites. This is good news.

John can probably help you with the history project...

Was intrigued to see what the training report would be after the Bellers/Mancini hoohaa and thoroughly disappointed too see how positive it was :)

Good stuff as always

Can we also have a training routine concentrating on passing the ball to sky blue shirts with some degree of regularity? That'd be good :-)

After the initial warm upo routines they broke into 2 groups of 10 . One group to work with Mancini and one to play a 6 a side games with full sized nets unedr the watchfull eyes of Kidd and Fausto whatisname. Quite a lot of people were inside the fence today.One large group of newly signed under 8's all kitted out in City tracksuits. Kiddo came over and shook the hands of everyone and had a quick word. Quality.

Yes I'm a pedandic arse and horrible at maths, but how the fuck does that work?

Just needs a bit of lateral thinking. 10 go to play and are joined by 2 keepers who had been working separately. Simples.

Ah. Rainman gets it now. The keepers warm up seperately.

cheers doug for your update, great to know what goes on at the training ground ,
why oh why didn't i look at your thread before reading through all 8 pages of the "bellersgate "fcuking lying papers ,
just one thing does anyone know if the reporter who said he didn't see bellers at training ,does he have a white stick or a dog to get him to carrington

It's customary to look 'really angry' when leaving work isn't it? Just before going to the pub to chill. Looking really angry on arrival is either about falling out with the missus or a touch of road rage on the way!

Even if you don't see Bellamy at training you can certainly hear him!
