Set-up

Full 11v11. No coaching interventions allowed by the assistant coaches — Gaffer watches from the touchline and notes. Let them apply everything from the week. First team to score three goals wins. Losers do four 40-yard shuttle runs post-session.

Coaching points

  • Watch the CDM's positioning when we lose the ball — does he screen or chase?
  • Note the wide players' defensive tracking — Ellis and Silva are the ones to watch
  • Identify who leads in-game — does anyone organise without being told?

Progressions

  • Play two 12-minute games with squad rotation so fringe players get meaningful minutes
  • Award bonus points for goals from set-piece routines to encourage early investment in them
