Video example of some of Spurs's concepts in their attacking phase vs. Sheffield United!


Quick look forward to the USMNT rematch vs Canada: Canada's midfield box was effective to help them transition, while the USMNT had ineffective attacking structures for counterpressing. Canada's strong connections and physical superiority gave them the advantage

Dele Alli was effective on Sat, using blind-side movements to find space to receive and turn between lines as free man. He and Ndombele pinned Sheff's 3 CMs: when the ball was switched to low density, it became easier to find space between lines as Sheff's wide CM had to jump

Check out my analysis of Spurs and Sheffield this past weekend!

"Pochettino’s game plan against Sheffield United showed their focus on pinning their centre-midfielders" @Mental_Model_FB has a tactical #analysis of the @premierleague game between @SpursOfficial and @SheffieldUnited footballbh.net/2019/11/12/pre… #tactics #analysis #PL #COYS #SUFC

Many coaches try to get all players to buy in. More effective approach: find the players who BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Get them to buy into your vision, hold them to the standard, and they will take ownership of the vision and deliver it to the team -Start With Why, Simon Sinek

Interesting look at Spurs' tactical adjustment on Sat vs Sheff. Winks comes on at half to create double pivot with Sissoko; Sissoko drops into right halfspace in buildup to affect Sheff's shifting dynamics. Sheff's horizontal compactness decreases, creating passing lane for Alli

Many teams play with predictable possession rather than positional play: targeting the center first to then open up wide areas, rather than moving the ball through the wide areas, is one example of this

As a coach, I have to ask myself if my players know exactly what I expect of them, and if my feedback is specific and effective. Without feedback from the environment, players cannot perform at their best. -From Effective Modern Coaching by Myles Downey

Check out my article on Liverpool's huge comeback vs Arsenal last week in the EFL Cup! Talks about Arsenal's effectiveness in transition and what Klopp did to counteract it to help Liverpool's success in 2nd half!

A static attacking structure makes it easier to defend, and a dynamic attacking structure is more difficult to defend, in part for these reasons:

🗣️ "Many people believe that the team with more possession is the team that is more dominant. But that depends on the way you look at it; a team without the ball can still be in control of the game."

The fact: humans tend to be poor learners and thinkers The problem: humans tend to not know that we are poor learners and thinkers The solution: TEST WHAT YOU KNOW. Only when you test your limits can you extend them. Anything else is NOT learning and will NOT stretch/grow you

Building up with numerical equality vs building up with numerical superiority: another crucial aspect is the effect on transitioning to defense when the ball is lost and having more or less players to manage the transition

How do you create situations where your players can progress by playing "between lines"? I explore this concept further here: you can only play between lines when you make the opponent less vertically compact through pinning and inviting the press
