Fantastic finish from Christos Tzolis vs Serbia. His goals catalogue at Brugge was similar to these type of finishes. Loves to drift closer to the marker before backing off and receiving with that one yard. Fabulous movement on this occasion Brilliant touch to create half a yard from the retreating CB and a great finish on his weaker left foot. Hoping this can translate to his games with #AFC #Tzolis

Viktor Gyokeres was poor today for #AFC vs #IPS. There is no denying that no matter how big of a fan I am. Below I have compiled 4 different clips that highlight his box movement from wide creation moments. Overall poor. Technically: - He lacks the double movements and simply did not move to the front post enough. - It was a decent performance in terms of his hold up but his movement was beyond frustrating to watch. - He engaged in wrestling matches for no reason man. Thoughts? A retweet would be appreciated 🙏

Brief Analysis on Brighton's Open-Play Goals vs #AFC 1-0 - Pascal Gross - Brighton go man to man. - Vuskovic baits Ode with strong body manipulation. - Lays off Kostoulas who should have been marked much tighter by Konsa. - Rice moves to Chema and opens the passing lane - Bruno misreads the play completely and should be goal-side of Gross. - Subsequent decisions allow Gross to receive in the pocket. - Simultaneously Ayari makes a fabulous out-to in run which forces Calafiori and Gabriel to drop. - That gives Gross the space to shoot and score. Simple Solution: - Bruno G has to stay goal-side. If he does, everything mentioned is null. - Or, Calafiori has to stick to his choice of blocking the shot and take an extra step forward into the path and let Gabriel deal with Ayari's underlap. 2-0 Charalampos Kostoulas - Brighton counter and Calafiori, Odegaard and Bruno are too high up and unable to track back in time. - Gomez drives and is able to find a poorly tracked Kostoulas. - Gomez was pressed too aggressively by Tzolis, allowing him to gain a yard on him and force Gabriel to drop a yard for security regarding the Gomez overlap. - Konsa has to be tighter to Kostoulas as he has taken responsibility. - Poor tracking from Konsa, poor from Tzolis to jump so aggressively, unlucky from Gabriel as he has two jobs at once due to errors from both. Simple Solution: - Shift over and let Gabriel deal with Kostoulas. Rice should press towards Gomez and let Tzolis drop into a comfortable position in the defensive line. 2v2 on the opposite flank with Timber and Konsa vs Ayar and De Cuyper. Verdict Good goals. Unlucky to concede them. Defensively poor as a collective to allow the shots. At the end of the day it was 0.11xG total for both shots. 0.05xG for Gross and 0.06xG for Kostoulas. Credit to the finishes The corner was down to lack of awareness and laziness, short analysis on that later. Shame. We move on. Retweet would be appreciated 🙏

#BRI vs #AFC - How transitions could be key to a big away win! A big game today and its our third tough away game of the season already. Happy to get these out of the way early. Started with hard fought wins vs Villa and Sunderland and I can't see Brighton being any easier. Arsenal Defensively - Brighton's aggressive positioning (Image 1) Brighton set up in an aggressive 2-3-5 with both fullbacks tucking into the midfield line joining the pivot midfielder (Ayari or Chema). The aim is overload the backline with 5 technically capable attacking players. This will force us into a different shape with Rice probably dropping deeper to pick up Kostoulas or a central attacker. Odegaard will inturn have to drop to occupy the space Rice vacates (Image 1). Saka and Tzolis will have important tucking duties with Boscagli and Kadioglu respectively. The best way we can prevent this is by making it as cramped as possible for Brighton centrally whilst remaining confident in defending 1v1/2v2 in wider areas. Brighton's attack is fluid and very technically capable. Blindside runs are a danger. Yalcouye has proved extremely dangerous. He will be facing Konsa today and I feel the Englishman's recovery pace will prove strong against Malian. Gross is also an excellent "ghost" runner. A key tactical point: Yalcouye - The Danger Man A simple thing Brighton do is leave a man in between the double pivot of opposition teams and then look to find that man through a blindside run with a third-man combination. It can be lethal. Yalcouye has proved dangerous consistently (Image 2). It leaves a devastating dilemma for 4 players: Konsa, Gabriel, Rice and Bruno. That too, Kostoulas and Gross are important to create lanes to receive before playing the third-man (Yalcouye) Their central zones and long range shooting is another particularly dangerous aspect as they have scored 3/13 goals from zone 14 (PL). 18/80 shots (PL). Raya may have a busy day from long range shots too. Note: From deep build up they aim to draw the press out before "creating their own transitions" (what I like to refer to it as) as they rapidly increase the tempo with line-breaking passes, quick combinations and blindside movement. They are brilliant to watch. They are an incredibly direct team and look to find the most efficient way forward. So strong and so dangerous. Our midfield and backline have to remain very aware. The Transition Possibilities - Brighton's Counter-Press (Video 1) Brighton's aggressive positioning does not stop when they lose possession. Their immediate reaction is to counter-press, with Hurzeler implementing what he describes as a "5 second counter-pressing principle". The aim is simple. Swarm the area around the turnover, prevent the opposition from escaping and regain possession as high as possible. We saw a perfect example in the build-up to their second goal against United in the League Cup. A sequence of pressing actions concluded with Vuskovic aggressively following Sesko high up the pitch, while Gross remained advanced to create an overload around the ball if United attempted to play backwards or possession turned over. Included within Video 1 When Brighton get this right, it is extremely effective. Their aggressive starting positions mean they already have numbers around the ball and can immediately suffocate the opposition after losing possession. But that aggression comes with a major risk. Beating the First Press and Balls In-Behind - Where We Can Hurt Them (Video 2) If we can play through or around that initial press, enormous spaces can appear behind it. Vuskovic regularly commits extremely high, while Brighton's midfielders and fullbacks are often positioned ahead of the ball. That can leave Dunk as the deepest defender and force Brighton into open-field defensive situations they are far less comfortable dealing with. This is where players such as Raya, Bruno G and Odegaard could be crucial. One clean pass through the first wave can immediately turn a Brighton attack into an Arsenal transition, with Havertz, Saka, Calafiori and Tzolis providing the main outlets. The objective should be to turn these moments into 3v3s or 3v4s as quickly as possible, before Brighton have time to recover their structure. There is a particular opportunity down our left side. Although Vuskovic is an incredibly talented box defender and excellent on the ball, defending the channels and dealing with quick dribblers in open space are not his strongest traits. He is also the CB who steps forward far more aggressively than Dunk. That makes Tzolis vs Dunk one of the transition match-ups I expect to see most frequently. Calafiori also may find himself in these positions. Saka on the opposite flank too. I'd also expect the sprayed long balls from Raya to continue: - 5/9 long balls vs Coventry - 5/14 long balls vs Villa - 6/19 long balls vs Chelsea - 9/20 long balls vs Sunderland 62/118 (53%) attempted passes this season have been long balls (PL). Further, supporting data suggests the entire Brighton back line lacks recovery speed and is not comfortable defending large spaces. Their top speeds this season: - Dunk — 31.1 km/h - Vuskovic — 30.6 km/h - Kadioglu — 33.8 km/h - Boscagli — 31.3 km/h That is an extremely slow back line to leave exposed. Chelsea's third goal against Brighton is a perfect example. Vuskovic follows Rogers forward and, once the counter-press is beaten, Hato and Weiffer suddenly find themselves in a foot race towards Brighton's goal. Dunk is left isolated and forced to defend two options; Hato or Pedro. Pedro eventually receives and finishes the move. Included within Video 2 An Alternative That Is Unlikely But Could Genuinely Work - Viktor Gyokeres The transition moments I've described above are almost tailor-made for a profile like Viktor Gyokeres. These are exactly the situations he thrived in throughout his time at Sporting, and we saw similar qualities against Atletico in last season's UCL SF. If he can attack the space behind Brighton's press and isolate himself against slower defenders such as Vuskovic and Dunk, this could be a far more favourable game for him than his other two starts this season. His power, direct running and ability to carry the ball over distance could make him particularly dangerous if Arsenal are able to break Brighton's first line of pressure. There are obvious downsides: - Less stability in our hold-up play. - We are still likely to dominate possession for long periods, meaning many of the same issues he has faced in settled attacks would remain. It would therefore be more of a situational option than an obvious starting choice, but the specific spaces Brighton concede make his profile especially interesting for this game. Summary This is more of an alternative tactical angle I noticed while watching Brighton this season. We will likely dominate possession, but I wanted to analyse a less obvious way we could create chances and score through what seems to be Brighton's biggest weakness this season. Attacking Shape - Expect The Same Simply put, I'd expect us to remain in our 3-1-6/3-2-5 base shape with similar positional fluidity. Expect a similar attacking set-up due to the lack of changes expected within the line-up. To summarise this analysis: Brighton are devastating when pressing high up the pitch, but the large spaces they leave in behind offer an alternative route for us to hurt them. It is certainly something to keep a close eye on when the opportunity presents itself. I've worked all morning on this so a retweet would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoyed my analysis! 4-2 Arsenal Win. High scoring game. Video 1: Counter-Pressing Moments Video 2: Transition Weakness Moments

Some comments and a video edit on 3 different #Saka moments vs Sunderland. #AFC. (My third edit. I hope you enjoy) So far in the opening 4 PL games: - Saka has the most goals (3) for Arsenal (Tied 2nd) - The highest xG (2.87) for Arsenal (3rd in PL for xG) - The highest number of shots (13) for Arsenal (9th in PL) - 4.39xG in all comps (incl Charity Shield and UCL). A -1.39xG underperformance so far... Incredible numbers and it could be a really high scoring season for him. Something of note is that there were 3 separate instances vs Sunderland where he could have squared it for an open goal/simple finish. Twice he shot, once he earned the penalty. There is a level of selfishness there that I personally would want to see in such an elite attacker. But is there a line? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
