Bridge, SWP and Richards in Miami...

Don't agree with it. I remember after our last really significant win (the 2-1 win at Old Trafford) and Sven let the players go on holiday. Result? We lost 2-0 at home to Everton in our next game, and were absolutly awful. We have a better team now though, so hopefully the same won't happen.

Plus the guy in the 3rd photo down is not SWP, but one of their other mates. But I guess they all look the same when you work at the Daily Mail!!!

I just think we are still a very new team, especially with a change of manager and playing style. We are still shakey at set pieces and we need to be better at linking the play between attack and defence. I still feel our tempo is generally too slow, we cannot be one dimensional and simply rely on the counter-attack.

If I were Mancini I would have been on the training pitch from Tuesday doing 50% longer sessions with the extra time focussed on set pieces, team shape and moving the ball quickly from defence to attack. This past weekend I'd have perhaps organised a team based outing to some hotel / spa complex to allow their bodies to relax in a quiet, controlled environment... Maybe throw in a few light competitive activities like bowling which will appeal to their competitive natures without risking injuries. Then Monday morning it would be back to longer sessions before moving back to regular sessions on the Wednesday.

Mancini wasnt their to do anything with the team, chances are he was going watching a couple of players he has his eye on. and as long as they stay fit and do some training, and im sure they do. I dont see the problem, they will be back in the country now and have the same preparation for a weekend fixture as they allways do. Whats the big deal

I thought the same. No booze at all in the pics.

As for the pic with the caption "surrounded by bikini clad women" there is one girl walking past the 4 lads!

Looks like they were having a quiet, relaxing time. Hopefully they will come back refreshed, ready to take 4th spot!
