Fair enough. Yeah they are training exercises, but I doubt any manager/head coach would be happy to rely on everyday training and then wait for a league game to see who's better equipped to do what he wants them to do. BBM, in the post-match interview, seems to think there was something learned today, unless he's just trying to justify the gallivanting.
