Casemiro doesn't want to jump. Why? Because Yoro didn't jump behind him, so he retreats. The indecision creates a spare man in front of United's block AND in between it. Fiorentina progress play and should exploit the high line, but don't play in behind.

Mbappé’s hat-trick in the last World Cup final was something out of a supervillain movie. That second goal sunk my heart like never before. Messi was 10 minutes away from being the World Cup winner and Argentina blew a two goal lead in two minutes! 🤯

Part of Arsenal’s open-play creativity issue is the absence of a player like this to open the entire game up. Risk-takers create transitions. Transitions are where most goals are scored. The lack of them is why all Arsenal forwards have average output.

Reece James might play with a lopsided angle bias in midfield due to his development at right back, but my God when he can turn and face the play then he is just like Trent with his passing. All whilst being more powerful defensively. Crazy, crazy talent.

Transition monster. Ruthless finisher. Mental giant who creates separation in the box over and over again. Gyökeres does it ALL! 🔴⚪️

Arsenal with a transitional threat 🤤 Gyökeres links it, Saka hero-ball. Rice showing why it is so important to wait until as late as possible to release the pass so he can let Trossard shoot close to goal. Trossard displaying textbook 'minimum width'.

Tactical bravery & nous is what England lack in their DNA. Southgate brought togetherness but failed tactically. Tuchel was supposed to break that negative tradition by being brave tactically, but he failed in ALL knockout games despite laying a top blueprint in the qualifiers.

Scott McTominay is the optimal football litmus test. If you rate him, you know the game. There are so many clubs that would kill for his qualities, whether that be as a double #6 or as a #8.

Exceptional mentality from Gary O’Neil. Eddie Howe did similar before arriving at Newcastle and he came back into management a much better coach.

De Bruyne stayed high because he was a natural #10. Ødegaard doesn’t because he’s closer to a #8 in profile. Bernardo Silva is a legend of the game but Arsenal would have the same issues with him in the #10 as they do Ødegaard. It’s a profiling issue…

Xabi Alonso’s father was a manager. He played as a #6, like many other top coaches. The ‘lighthouse’. He played in England, Spain, Germany. Coached by Pep, Ancelotti, Mourinho, Benitez, del Bosque, Aragonés… Destined for greatness with that education.

Instead of laying it to Gabriel, Rice skips him out and passes straight to Raya. Raya does the same. Timber then controls an awkward ball and wins a free kick. 81 minutes. 1-0 down. In a chaotic atmosphere amidst Newcastle's direct style. MENTAL GIANTS!

Big Hürzeler fan. Too many modern coaches focus on positional play and total perfection with the ball and reduce defending to counter-pressing once possession is lost and locking on man-to-man in other moments. That’s disrespectful. That ain’t Hürzeler.

The benefits of risk-takers in the final third for an elite positional play team 👇 Play breaks down, and it opens up opportunities to counter-press which opens up spaces to exploit in transition. A weapon Arsenal lacked without Gyökeres, Eze, & Madueke.

Massively rooting for Liam Rosenior. Why? Because he is his own man with his own belief system and he does what he believes is right. That got him the Chelsea job where he has shown TOP potential. So what if nobodies don’t like it and vilify him?

“(Eze is) a player that needs to be in touch with the ball.” Arteta knows. He always knows. Trust him. Trust him with your life. He will not let you down.

‘It’s not time, it’s analysis.’ There is a lot of depth behind the words of Edu here, all of which is centred around trusting the process based on in-depth analysis as opposed to blindly trusting ‘time’ which many fans vouch for. Time must be warranted..

Against a man-to-man press, you must be dynamics with players who can manipulate the ball under pressure to create passing angles (Mosquera), players who can dribble and evade in 1v1 duels (Nwaneri), and players who can play inside and outside (Madueke).
