Corners, free kicks, whether attacking or defending, never seemed to be high priority under Hughes but at least the defending of them has been picked up by Mancini.

Interesting but not a lot can be concluded.

I don't think that will be a problem at all. One word we hear Mancini use all the time is concentration and I am sure he drills that into them constantly
Guess it all is about whether the players seem to respond / bond / show camaraderie - is that the case?

I still don't think I can divulge yet. I think it has to remain secret for 40 years.

Sorry Doug - intended to be: - do you still see good camaraderie / bonding etc between players and especially from players to Mancini - I got the feeling that a lot of bonding was achieved through training before and I am hoping that if this has changed it is only more positive

Thanks Bob. To answer one of the points you made earlier I think you are right that the less fun if I am right in this is all about the greater emphasis on tactical work/thinking. They are being drilled to understand what to do where to be in all sorts of situations. Some will require more time on this than others( don't need to name names do I?)
