Defensive principles work with a back 4 line. • Distances in between defenders. • Show outside. • 1v1 in wide areas. • Force attackers to play backwards. • Aerial duels, 1 goes, 3 narrow off and reduce gaps. Hopefully you see those principles in these 2 videos.

A very simple, but excellent clip here of Man City practicing Sub-Principles (Defensive Line Principles) from their Game Model. Not everything has to reinvent the wheel. Notice the full back looking down the line to adjust its height. Look at the age-old principles of play: pressure, cover and balance. Observe advancing and retreating as a line (protecting the space in front or protecting the space behind) to avoid gaps in between line or between players in lines. Identical to the #KingKnightEd sub-principles for the Defensive Line.

Perfect example of why teams box kick. - O’Brien wins the contest - England defensive line has to hurry back, very difficult to get good defensive structure if ball comes quickly - JGP fast to breakdown, great delivery - Ireland exploit the gaps (and a bad tackle attempt)

Chris Shula on his defensive philosophy: “my defensive philosophy is it’s about the players. To me It’s a simple game it’s relentless pursuit of the ball it’s getting off blocks it’s tackling and it’s taking the ball away.”

Concentration, Anticipation of Danger & Recovery This isn't a dig at any one individual, it's just analysis of what I keep seeing. Defending in the Middle Third: > Protect/Cover Central Passes & Players > CB's Pass on CF/CAM's When It's Too High > CM's Drop on & pick up > Pressing Should be Secondary Defending In the Defensive Third: > Protect Box/Central Passes into CF's/10s > Force Wide & Then Defend Crosses > Allow Players on Edge with Numbers Behind as a Last Resort Continually we seem to lack real concentration for "Where the danger is"? > Worrying about irrelevant wide-men > Trying to Press when there's a man in the hole unmarked & too high for CB's > Lack of intense recovery sprints to get back behind the ball This is clips from 4 different managers/coaches & I could have pulled similar issues under Barry Ferguson

Motherwell: Defensive Organisation & Pressing A lot of praise to the "With the Ball" work from Motherwell but not enough on them exceptional "Without the Ball": > Low-Block Distances & Defending (7 Cleansheets in 8 Games) > Ball Orientation & Locking Teams onto One Side > Jumping Into a High-Press Individually, Elijah Just is simply the most "Intelligent" Player without the ball in Scotland: > Reading of Passing Players > Scanning of Gaps Behind Him > Reading of Body Angles from Opposition Players Receiving > Intensity Pressing > Composure When Winning It A Wonderfully Organised Footballing Team 👏

Rangers: Defensive Disorganisation As an Analyst, working in football, I always try to tow-the-line of being respectful about professional players when covering them but I am also a Rangers fan. What I have watched in the last 4 games is utterly astonishing from Coaching Principles to Player Responsibility: > Man-Marking or Ball-Orientated Defending? > Analysed & Addressed? > Player Reactions & Responsibility? > Player Pride & Work-Rate? The lack of responsibility and people willing to actually do the basics like run & do hard yards for each other is actually disgusting to watch as a fan and unprofessional to watch as an analyst.

Rangers: Ball Orientated Defending Another clean sheet on Monday made it 5 clean sheets in 7 domestic matches under Danny Rohl. Despite that impressive stat it feels like the manager still has work to do: > Facing 9.38 Shots per 90 > Facing a 0.92xG per 90 From watching Sheffield Wednesday, he prefers to be Ball-Orientated in his defending: > Narrow off into 2/3rds of the Pitch > Deepen to Block Space Behind > Create Overloads in Defending by Ignoring "Outside" or "Low-Impact" Positioned Opponents In this clips from the Hibs game, I feel like we were very fortunate to not have Bowie clean through on goal in the opening 5-minutes and very similar to the 2nd goal v Roma...something Hearts will punish if we do not get spot on. Thoughts?
