Training Mondey 26/9

Postby Douglas Higginbottom » Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:46 am

Hot at Carrington today as the squad was out in full (with one exception) and about 20 cameras as it is Chumps league week. Great to see everybody there including Nigel and AJ and all taking part in the full session.The missing one was Mario and my guess is he has been given an extra day or so off as he cant be involved tomorrow.A few extras added as well from the EDS,Suarez,Bridge and Wabara.

Not just cameras on the ground today but also a helicopter floating around as well taking in some of City and a little around the swamp when the fumes weren't too strong.

Plenty of the usual stuff to start with and a longish session with keep ball circles probably for the cameras. Far too much fun going on in these though especially in Micah's group (no surprise).Then into the "football" parts with 1 and 2 touch stuff in big then small nets.Only one goal scored and by Aguero in the diddy nets much to the delight of Zaba and the rest of his team mates..

A couple of fun moments in these sessions.It was bibs against blues with Carlos as one of the bibs.He chose the perfect moment to lift the bib over his head to become a blue and then when the ball was passed to him,show it again as he passed onto a bib. The players thought it was hilarious.Good to see Carlos is sulking eh! Then as many players realised how hot it was they decided to shed some clothes.Trouble was they ended up with 3 teams. Blues,Bibs and yellows. Crazy stuff as Kolarov stopped the game as he didnt know who to pass to.

As usual it all ended with a game which was only 9 a side with quite a few of those who played on Saturday given a rest.Roman and Scapuzzi also joined in.Quite a competitive game as ever and the goals came from Milner (cracking left footer) Roman at the end of a great move and then the best, a Kolarov special into the far top corner.The whole session was barely an hour long as they went in with nobody staying out for extras apart from Razak working with Lombardo.

They really really do sound like a tight-knit group.

It's encouraging.

Guilty as charged.And later in that video was the proof that the disputed goal should have been disallowed.

The angry midget wasn't angry.As I said last week I thought he had his best training session of the season then.Today he was fine but nowt special.

If it were me and I felt he was "right" I would play him but my gut feel is that Mancini won't tomorrow

Didn't realise you were such a good looking, sartorially elegant man about town, Mr H.

Respect to you; you make me look like an out and out tramp by comparison (the lady wife would be the first to agree to that synopsis).

Great report!
Hopefully the goal will start coming for Milner like they were when he was at Villa.

forgive me but is the angry midget you're referring to (Slim that is) De Jong or Tevez

I think the question is about Nigel and the answer re Tevez

I may be wrong though
