Training Thursday 24/1
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 12:23 pmYesterday was a fairly strong long session but today's was gentle and short.Only 16 on view which included Rekik and Boyata and Rekik was recruited late on from the EDS group training on the far side I assume to balance the numbers.No others from that group as I expect they were in final training and preparation for tomorrow's game.
As I said yesterday the fencing is much improved around the pitch nearest Sale Sharks so that there are no easy viewing spots for photographers and the only 1 I saw today was away on the far side hoping the players would change pitches.Just as well because there was constant fighting and squabbling between the players all through the session. Of course that's garbage as today was probably as much about having fun as anything else. After initial jogs and a few exercises they moved into a big keep ball circle including the boss and it had 3 in the middle trying to get a touch.
Not exactly a lot I can feed back from a session like that apart from the laugh they had playing it and especially so if somebody manages a nutmeg.The keepers were working away close to me and they similarly were having fun judging by the noises coming from their corner. No football games at all today as it will have been decided that kind of effort and energy wasn't needed pre the Stoke game.It's probably all about ticking over,keeping training interesting,varied and fun.They finished the keep ball and most just did some stretches and went in but 3 did some shooting,finishing practice to end their day.
