Thanks as ever Doug! Although Mancini has allways taken a hands on aproach with training, do you think hes having more involvment at the start of this season than he did during last?

Not at all. From day one he was hands on and totally involved in everything and it's very much the same now.His early work involved a lot of shape stuff and moving around the pitch as a team if you remember.That doesn't happen in anything like the same way although you can still see the importance of that in training just as you can in games.

There are reports that Clichy injured his knee in training.

Doug said the injuries were little, so can we assume it's not long term?
