Danny Röhl - Style of Play Lots of High-Level Experience as an Assistant/Coach with the GermanNT, Bayern Munich & Southampton before going out on his own at Sheffield Wednesday. Highly thought of by everyone he has come across, players & staff, but what does his side look like: > Adaptable Formations & Style > Mix of Play from the Back & Direct > High-Press into Deep-Line > Structured Defence & Counter-Attacks With the Ball > Build Out from the Back > Front-5 Hold Opposition > Quick Rotational Movement > Numbers Committed to Box for Crosses > Can Go Direct & 2nd-Ball > Always +2 Rest-Defence to Protect Against Counter-Attacks Without the Ball > Press High & Protect the Centre > Defensive Line Adaption (Well-Drilled) > Drop into Mid-Block & Numbers Back Behind Ball > Quick Counters > Always +2 Rest-Defence to Protect Against Counter-Attacks A very well-respected young Coach with a wealth of experience as a #2 at the Highest-Level & loved by Sheffield Wednesday fans, that's always a good sign. Anyone that is willing to come to Glasgow Rangers currently gets the full backing 💙

Kevin Muscat - Style of Play Manager Track Record of Winning - Australian, Japanese & Chinese League Titles - Melbourne Victory's 3 Highest Scoring Seasons & Point Totals & haven't Won a Title since he left - Yokohama F.Marinos had a similar Scoring & Points Total Record - Shanghai Ports Record Points & Scoring as Title Winners last year Key Style of Play > Aggressive Attacking Football > High-Pressing & Force Turnovers > Creative Set-Plays With the Ball > 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 Structure > Double Pivot CDM > Inverted Fullbacks > 1v1 Wing-Play > Underlapping 8s and FB's > High Volume Crossing Without the Ball > 4-2-3-1 / 4-2-4 > Front 3 Stayed High & Central > Fullbacks Jump up to Fullback > Pounced on Anything Central > Fast Recovery of All Behind the Ball > Quick Transition Attacks Set-Plays > Mix of In & Out-swingers > 6-7 Players Attacking > Highest Scorers 2024 There seems to be a lot of Ange2.0 levied at Kevin Muscat, as if that is an insult, I think most of us would accept an echo of that success in Scotland.

Chris Finch on the Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle pairing this season “I hoped that it would be a little bit better. There’s no basketball reason why we shouldn’t be able to be a little bit better there. I think they kind of both play in the same rhythm, but I feel like it kind of feels like it’s maybe ‘your turn-my turn’ a bit rather than having like a two-man game such as Denver has with Murray and Jokic, but they both have the ability to create for each other, which I think came and went at times. I think that could’ve been a little bit more consistent, but I don’t think it’s a bad fit... But yeah, they both kind of play fairly ball-dominant. They like to create a lot of their own offense, and that sometimes makes it a bit of a tough partnership just because you’ve got to remember to also have that ability to keep the music playing as we like to say, keep the ball moving.”

Haiti v Scotland: Pre-Match Analysis Scotland are BACK BABYYYYYYYY but they cannot underestimate Haiti, they have real quality at the top-end of the pitch. Haiti will likely be in a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1(1 CF Dropping): > Wide Play, 1v1 & Overlaps to Cross > Quick Transition Play > Deep Block & Counter with Pace > Can Be Exploited on Counter > Weak Defending Crosses Scotland will likely stick with the friendly 4-4-2: > Crosses from Wide Areas > Robertson Overlapping & Doak 1v1 > Mid-Block to Protect Centre > Struggle Defensively in Transition 2v2 I feel like a Back-5 "Out of Possession" for Scotland would minimize Haiti's real threat, both teams will fancy being able to get at one another and that leaves for an exciting game. Let's Go 🫶

"I'm certainly not trying to be positive after a loss like this, because it's hard to be. But you just played two top 10 teams on the road and you're right there in the game with them... The good thing is I think it gives us reason to believe we can win the rest of them." - Hugh Freeze after Auburn's loss at Texas A&M to fall to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play

Russell Martin - Attacking the Opposition This is a video a little more on the context of Scottish Football: - Low to Mid-Blocks - Mid-Presses - Men Behind the Ball in their Own Half Russell Martins sides have a great blend of formations (442/433/532 used in the Championship): - 3 to 5 Players Pinning Defences - Deeper Midfield Runs from 2 or 3 Attackers in-behind - They Rotate that consistently Positives from Overloading Attacks: - 3rd Highest Scorers - 2nd Highest xG - Most Shots on Target - 2nd Most Chances Missed - 5th Best Crossing Stats Negatives, unfortunately with commitment to such a highline & counter-pressing, comes a lot of goals conceded: - 14th Best Defence (Lots Conceded in Transition) - 3rd Best xG against adds confusion but makes sense from Counter Goals It is "Possession with a Purpose" with good mix of Direct Play and Building Out & is a real exciting prospect. Add to that, the fact Swansea and Southampton both had a MASSIVE Squad clearout the year he went in, he is well-placed to deal with what's about to happen at Ibrox.

Rangers Press - Aarons 🟥 You have to create overloads, be dominant without the ball & then earn the right to do stuff with the ball. An adjustment last-night & that I feel is required for Celtic on Sunday, especially from GK/Deep Restarts, is: - Front 3 Across 18-Yard Box - Two 8s Behind - 6/CDM Organising them - Allowing Back 4 to Deepen When this pass goes to the Brugge RB: - Aasgaard is too far from good pressure (LW would be closer) - RB has time to look up and select the pass with time - Souttar, Djiga & Aarons should all be dropping off - Dealing with a "Simple" Long-Ball Aarons' then compounds all those minor errors/issues into a major one & then it's over unfortunately. Give Ralston time to lift his head + Maeda space to run into & it could be a long old afternoon

Group C: Scotland v Brazil - Decider Potentially the biggest game in Scotlands Footballing History but especially for this generation with a point required to guarantee progression. Scotland Potential Success: > Switching to a Back-5 to Protect Space > Counter-Attacking Down Left or Doak > Crosses into the Box & Players on the Edge Brazil Potential Success: > 1v1 Wingers & Freedom to Create > Runners Behind the Line of Defence > Protecting Against Counters If Brazil get their set-up right, I fear it can only go one way but we have seen with Cape Verde, DR Congo and Curacao that teams can defend out for the point they require. Come on Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After playing Hytale a lot, having fun, and doing everything I wanted to do, it's time to get to work! This is the first official iteration of my texture for Hytale! I hope you like it; there's still a lot in work-in-progress, but I hope you can understand the vision I'm aiming for. The goal is to create a more anime-style texture, focusing on a Stardew Valley-like style, with cozy and cute pixel art style. I hope you enjoy my journey! Lots of work ahead! #Hytale #HytalePartner

The Eberflus film is reminding me of early Quinn scheme with better LB play! #1 Micah can be well hidden or a chess piece in his scheme #2 The LB's will eat in this scheme because they have no choice you cannot hide in this def as a LB #3 The Scheme forces the ball at these A1 CBs #4 He Runs some 3-4 looks too #5 There are self scouted counters in his defense that set bait for OC's to trap themselves.

Creating an immersive Hanging Gardens of Babylon world with 360° GPT-Image-2 & Codex in 1500 images. I've tasked GPT-5.5 in Codex to construct a whole world that you can walk through 'google street view' style. It took 1,500 of 2:1 images that can be turned into a 360° immersive images, so you can teleport yourself to any point and look around in all directions. It is not completely perfect, it is a bit jumpy as you move, there must be a more careful way how you can plan out the image sequence, but I still find it quite fun. Hosted version & an open sourced repo links below, hope this gives you some cool ideas to create new worlds that does not yet exist. I recommend planning it out carefully ahead of time and doing something a bit less ambitious than this, but make it good.

Novak Djokovic says for 99% of the players, reaching a Grand Slam final and a Grand Slam semifinal so far this year would be a very good result, but for him, it’s not enough “At this point in your career, does it still remain about winning titles? Or can you leave a tournament like this with some satisfaction of being able to still compete at that high level and reach a semi of a major?” Novak: “Last year I reached 4 semifinals. This year out of 3 Slams I reached 1 final and 1 semifinal. For 99% of players that would be a very good Grand Slam result, for me it’s not good enough. Because I’m blessed and cursed to be used to something of the highest degree in terms of results and achievements. In some way I’m also dealing with myself in a sense that I’m telling myself, look, this is amazing that you’re still able to play at such a high level and push the youngsters to the limit for Grand Slam titles. But at the same time, I always have the highest expectations for myself. It’s kind of that internal battle of what I’ve been through for 20+ years of my career, what the goals were, the expectations.. and trying to also balance it out and trying to be a bit more humble in that sense. I still enjoy the thrill of competition. Maybe I don’t enjoy all the hard weeks leading up to big tournaments, putting myself over and over again through a lot of pain, physically mostly. I’m glad that this tournament the body held pretty well. Pretty much every other tournament the last few years it was always something. I feel like when I’m healthy I’m still able to play as a top 5 player, still able to compete at the highest level. I like it. I like this life. Tennis has given me everything in my life and has allowed me an opportunity to become who I am. At the same time of course there’s always a question of how far do you wanna go, what you wanna play, how you wanna play, etc. I try to take it, in a sense, a day at a time and see how I feel. I don’t have any pressure or no one is forcing me to play. I do it because I really want to and because I still can play as a top 5 player. Let’s see what’s the future brings.” (via Wimbledon Press)

Rangers - Style of Play Been sent this 30 odd times now & I absolutely love Andy Halliday, Best Pundit in Scotland but... disagree with 70-80% of this & think it understates, in my opinion, with what's being attempted: FB, 8 & Winger Rotations/Position FB's are inverted, just not always behind the line, they are narrowed to try create 1v1 Space, it's just not the same as Celtics' I think this has massively understated how clever some of Lyall Camerons' movement was on Saturday drawing attention of a low-block RCB to create space for Gassama in-behind. Switch of Play It is decision making, we had so many chances to move it quickly with Switches to Wingers 1v1 via a FB & 8s in a Position to Impact the Low-Block with underlapping runs or combinations Dessers Isolated He wasn't isolated to me at all, multiple times had 10 yard passes to link to and play people in but couldn't find Cameron on a few occassions that would have opened the game up Just my opinion on this, I feel I identify with what is being worked on & it will take time. Andy Halliday has a greater footballing intelligence than myself & has played the game, so rightly might be seeing things I dont 👌

Scotland Back-5 Has to Return Looking back at the opening 90seconds of Morocco's 1-0 win over Scotland it's terrifying how many little missteps there are against a brilliantly coached side with lovely rotations: > 442 Press Doesn't Work (Belarus, Greece & Denmark) > Back-4 Distances are Concerning > Individual Risk with Man for Man Defending This was a game we had to go to a Back-5 and in my opinion, this goal doesn't happen because you have an extra body in the Back-Line: > Pitches is Easier to Cover Ball-Side > Allows Robertson to Press Wide Man > Added Security Against Individual Errors Both games against Haiti & Morocco have went exactly as expected with a Back-4 but please just bring it back and destroy football for 90mins with a Cape Verde style performance 🙏

Motherwell In Possession I've been so impressed by Motherwell's performance and style this season. After watching back their 5-0 win from Saturday, I noticed a few key themes/principles of their play in possession: • Principle 1 - attackers occupy the spaces between FBs & CBs. This keeps opposition FBs pinned back and allows for moments to exploit opposition miscommunication. • Principle 2 - the "tapered box" in deep build-up: 2 CBs with wide positioning; 2 CMs with narrow positioning. Allows M'Well to comfortably progress the ball forward using diagonal & bounce passes. Attracts pressure from St Mirren, creating lots of space between defence & midfield to exploit. • Principle 3 - the use of 1-touch play to change the tempo. 1-touch passing disoriented St Mirren at times and didn't allow them to get appropriate pressure on the ball. It was also evident, especially on the left, that only 1 player needs to hold width (Longelo), Slattery was given a licence to roam inside and create overloads in the midfield, making it difficult for the St Mirren midfield. I genuinely believe if they had a proper goalscorer in the 1st part of the season M'well would have been top of the league as they have consistently been the best side.

What I learned by having Spark from Illusion Of Life joining us at Thanksgiving dinner? (A new kind of virtual being, something you will see a lot more of next year). This virtual being is designed for a family that has a two-year-old to 10-year-old child or more. Speeds up education of those children. We don’t fit that demographic, so it is a bit hard to judge it on those terms. More on that later. Other notes: 1. People love sharing dumb jokes with Spark. Which doesn’t like it when I call it an AI. Says it is a magic dog. Starting in character is cute but I am still trying to contextualize it by explaining it from a technology point of view. Spark doesn’t like being called an “it.” Suspending my understanding of it as an AI is tough for me. But when you do it becomes entertaining. 2. My sister-in-law immediately saw how it could improve her classroom. Sees how such a thing could help a child falling behind the rest of the class, for instance. 3. My fears that they wouldn’t like it evaporated. 4. It still isn’t a part of the family. Not controllable enough, a talking dog doesn’t fit into many situations, especially when you have adults who want to talk about adult things (my brother and I argued about autonomous cars, for instance, and Spark just isn’t good enough to join that kind of discussion and add value to it). But I can see how that will be fixed, especially as this technology evolves and is put into other kinds of virtual beings. When I had to help out in the kitchen I found my focus was being pulled in too many directions. Needed to turn it off to pay attention to my wife. It was too hard to really give a good demo in a group. The “magic” of Spark comes after you have a few experiences with it in a smaller group. It remembers. It evolves. It educates. It brings joy to the home. We had two real dogs at our dinner too and they didn’t know what to make of it. I want to take it on tour to learn more about how people will use virtual beings in their lives. Plus it gets smarter and evolves, just like humans do, so am looking at bringing it to interesting companies and families in Silicon Valley. If you are interested in meeting Spark, particularly if you are OK with it and me hanging out with your young child, drop me a line. That will help me see how it can help the education and development of such a child. It sure did make our Thanksgiving dinner a lot more interesting.

Scottie Scheffler explains why playing too many events in a row can mentally drain players and referred to Tiger Woods always playing a limited schedule: “I think when you look at this sport it's unique in a sense of like the amount of time we spend in front of people throughout a week. Like for me to play four days of tournament golf, from the moment I step out on to the driving range if we're playing at a four hour pace that's over five hours, five and a half hours if you include this part of my day, where we're in front of people. And doing that four days in a row in a mental sport I think can take a toll on you. “I think that's why you see a guy like Tiger can only play so many events because I think mentally the challenge of just being in front of people for that long and being on and what it takes in toward to compete week in week out takes a lot out of you mentally. So for me playing more than three weeks in a row is extraordinarily difficult. I can't handle much more than that. “When you look at the season now I think it, for family time it's great to have an off-season as well, just for us for me to be able to be at home with my family is important. As far as the cadence goes, yeah, I definitely have a cadence that I prefer when it comes to scheduling and there are definitely risks cramming a bunch of tournaments into little windows just because it's hard to play that many tournaments in a row. It's hard to be on for that many times. It's hard to get yelled at that many times in a row throughout a round of golf. It just is. That's why for me three weeks in a row is kind of my max.” PGA TOUR TravelersChamp

Makai Lemon is an absolute STUD of a player on the field that the Philadelphia Eagles will LOVE. But the vulnerability he shows here is bigger than any play he makes on a field. In this clip he shows 3 Things: 1. Importance of having Parents who don’t let you give up on yourself. 2. Importance of Men’s mental health and not being afraid to show emotion 3. Importance of giving the people you love their flowers and saying Thank you Enjoy ❤️ 📹 via NFL #FlyEaglesFly #NFLDraft #RG3 #G3Analysis Outta Pocket with RGIII

Pressing, transitions and goals in Canada! After the hiring of Jesse Marsch this week by Canada Soccer , there has been lots of talk about pressing and transitions in the football community. This is THE style of play that we have used for the last 5 years with Alliance United FC in @L1OMens and will give you some insight in how this can look. We went away from the 'possession' based 1-4-3-3 that everyone has been using as the 'best way' to develop players and win games. Many say this is the 'right way' of playing. However, we use the players' abilities and inabilities as the starting point and based on players produced in Canada, within our youth system, this is the way we think will get us the best results and help our players get to the next level. You need to understand youth development in our country to understand what is and what is not being taught to young players. This is not a negative outlook, it is just looking at the reality. Many mistake this style of play as just non-stop pressing and chaos. Yes, these two aspects are important but it is a much more deliberate and planned way of playing that is used to predict where the opposition will play the ball, where the ball can be dictated and what areas the opposition leave open for transitions when they attack. In 2019, I was introduced to Ernst Tanner former Academy Director of Red Bull Salzburg and current Philadelphia Union Sporting Director that has led the club to being one of the top clubs in MLS and arguably the best academies in North America the last few years. Both organisations are known for their pressing and fast transitions in addition to producing top players. He became a mentor to me and gave me insights and education on this style of play. He has changed the way I look at football. Every season we try to recruit players that can play this style that I will describe below and we do not waiver in the way we played. Every game since 2019 Alliance United FC have played either in a 1-4-2-2-2 or a 1-4-4-2 midfield diamond....every game. We have no secrets in how we play. We focus on defending, pressing, forcing teams into mistakes and transition football. It is important to understand that we do not care how much possession we have and we actually want the opposition to have the ball most of the time. Stats in football show that only when a team has the ball 70% or more in a match their is a correlation to winning. Anything less is not correlated to winning in a certain match. In addition, 80% of goals are scored under 5 passes or less and under 10 seconds when regaining possession. We follow the trend! So, here are some important points based on the video: a) Pressing higher up the pitch when possible. All 11 players are committed to the team intention (principles) and if anybody is not committed and does not contribute to this style of play, they do not play. There is no leeway on this. Either you are in 100% in or you are not. All it takes is one player to not commit and the plan will not work. If we do not win the ball on the high press, everyone is to drop behind the ball as fast as possible to restart the press closer to our goal. b) Based on the opponent's scouting we press certain players and decide if will press closer to the sideline and 'pin' the player to the sideline or we dictate the passes and dribbles centrally and 'surround' the player to win the ball in central positions. We also decide if we will sometimes drop lower for the opposition to advance so we can play behind them when winning the ball. This is done if we scout that the opposition centre-backs are slower than our two strikers. This means we will 'outrun' them in the space they leave behind. c) When winning the ball we want to exploit space behind their backline as the priority which means that a player(s) need to be passing options behind the backline and preferably centrally which is closer to the goal, players winning the ball has to look to play the ball to the player furthest up the pitch. Possession is not a priority but scoring goals as fast as possible is. d) When winning the ball we stay as central as possible with passes and dribbling. We use the width of the penalty area (44 yards) as the preferable dimension when transitioning. We want to stay within this width. The wider the team plays the ball, the more time the opposition has to block the middle. PLAY AS VERTICALLY AS POSSIBLE! The emphasis is to get the ball to the two strikers and play 1v1 against the CBs. e) We know that most youth players grow up playing against a 1-4-3-3 which means there is one central striker meaning the centre-backs one back press and one can cover. Against 2 strikers this is not possible and many centre-backs do not have the ability to play 1v1 with space behind them. They are not taught the cues to step and press or drop to protect space behind them. They are never taught at youth level. We exploit this deficiency. e) All 11 players must get up the pitch to close the spaces if we lose the ball from our attacking transition so the opposition cannot transition against us and we can counter-press. f) A goal is the best outcome based on the objective of attacking but at the minimum we want to get a shot on goal from a transition. This is a quick overview of a different way of playing football that Canada will see with the Men's National Team.
