I wonder what was said in training today, i hope they have been practicing their possesin of the ball. Something bruce has been saying they lack since the start of the season! ....watched a few other games after our game, and every team seems to be better with the ball, I think the only reason we are picking up the odd point here and there, is because we are good withoit the ball, we need to work heavly on keeping the ball! the players seem to hate having the ball!
I think the players try to be too clever and dictate the tempo by moving the ball as quickly upfield as they can. Quite often this results in hoofball and it comes right back.
I might be wrong, but I don't think they will do much training, it will be more a case of SB getting them together to go over what happened before most go off on international duty.
That is definitely not Hull City you've been watching. We are laboriously slow at moving the ball forward. After we've made 49 passes sidewards and thrown in a few back passes for good measure - we may just be approaching the halfway line.
The training ground was locked up yesterday, whatever the players did, it wasn't done on the training ground.
Maybe at the KC. ? If anything the entire squad should have been made to watch the game twice before going off into the sunset / international break.
I think they will have gone through games with them on their performamce, bruce will have had a go! ....have to laugh at livermore & huddlestone, there not in any european cups and have had multiple international breaks! they look like they play twice a week, look really unfit! ...i also think bruce picked brady because he had a good game when he came back, what thanks has he got! ...i'd say brady and huddlestone were the worst on the pitch against burnley!
It sounds good 'Sunday training' as some sort of punishment but am I the only one unconvinced by this suggestion. It would have meant disrupting a planned day off for the players and although SB models himself on Fergie would he have the balls to do it? I hope I'm wrong but I'd be surprised if they spent more than a couple of hours discussing the shambolic display at Burnley.
