Christmas Eve Training
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 12:46 pm
Just a day to keep things ticking over and spend a little time on preparation for the next game.19 on show today and happily that included Guidetti plus Razak,Rekik,Evans and a couple from the EDS that I couldn't quite recognise.Possible Greg Leigh and maybe Marin.
When I arrived in the dismal rainy conditions I wasn't even sure training was on due to the lack of any activity or bodies but it wasn't long before they started to come out with Mancini and Kidd amongst the starters and chatting away.Platt was there with his little un Charlie so that gave Yaya someone to play with for a while.The opening briefing started with 3 players still trekking across pitches so that's them dropped from the next game.
The regular watchers were herded into the dug out but my positions was better even though behind a fence as they were a pitch and a half away.The downside for me,apart from the rain ,was the bunch of scrote Utd fans wandering around hoping for a ball to be kicked over.When did they come out? Do you know when utd train?
Early jogging and exercises were done in two groups and then some shape and movement practice was also in 2 groups. As this was ended the team from Saturday went inside as Nasri came out for some one to one stuff.Rekik stayed back for a little chat with the boss,you know the boss who never talks to the players!! A positive sign seeing Samir as I was worried about a longer absence and he was joined a little later by Clichy for some running.
So into a game and it was 7 a side so plenty of goals.They came from:
Edin 4
Guidetti 3
Mario 3
Vinnie 2
Milner 3
Evans 1
Lescott 1 ( a jinking run and finish!)
Sinclair 1
Platt played in the game to balance numbers up but couldn't manage to score but did lay one on nicely for Edin.Miss of the match was by Evans.It was like Kun's goal at Newcastle but it went over. Wright made some great saves and was the pick of the keepers although Johansen also did well.
