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
